What is a cruise tour?
A cruise tour is the combination of a cruise vacation with additional days on land to further explore a destination. Always escorted, a cruise tour will include transportation, hotel accommodations, tours and food where indicated in the itinerary. Cruise tours are usually offered in Alaska, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Canada, Europe and South America. To see more information on cruise tours, click here.
It is a cruise with a combination of a land package. The tour portion of your trip can be taken before the cruise or after the cruise. I recommend doing the land portion first then the cruise because you’ll want a couple days to recover from the land portion and you’ll know a whole new group of friends from the land portion of your tour. However, cruise lines know this is the most popular choice so if you take the cruise first then the land your more likely to get a deal. If your starting the land portion in Skagway the Gold Rush History flows up to Dawson nicely.
