Inland, Alaska is spectacular as seen from the sea and very familiar to a Kiwi though on a much grander scale than my own New Zealand
Loved the rail trip from Denali to Whittier and enjoyed all the land excursions, especially the wonderfully knowledgeable and entertaining (generally) young tour guides
The cruise experience is marvelous with the entertainment, especially the singers and dancers who were truly world-class, being the stand-out highlight of the trip. The comedian was very funny and entertaining and the Cruise Director, Gary was especially good
