The vast majority of cruises to Alaska start out from either Seattle in the U.S. or Vancouver in Canada. This is ideal for most as both of these cities feature lots of events and attractions, which can keep you busy for at least a couple of days should you wish to extend your holiday slightly beyond your Alaska cruise dates. First stop for many of the cruise liners heading for Alaska is Ketchikan. At the South East of Alaska this small town is often referred to as the salmon capital of the world and features a unique atmosphere for those who wish to disembark the ship.
