Trip Highlights
- Vancouver - Start your trek in Vancouver, Canada a sophisticated metropolitan center with awe-inspiring mountain and water views. The city offers both culture and history, with a definite British flavor your entire family is sure to love.
- Skagway - Known as "Gateway to the Klondike," the historic port town of Skagway is home to unspoiled natural beauty and wilderness wonders. Whether you're panning for gold or braving the Yukon Suspension Bridge, feel the excitement of the pioneer spirit!
- Juneau - Venture to Alaska's capital, home to the Mendenhall Glacier. Marvel at the North American frontier as you sweep over the land in a private helicopter, then experience privately guided dog sledding as the glacial beauty takes your breath away!
- Ketchikan - Welcome to Alaska's first city! Watch as professional lumberjacks compete in various challenges that display their expert skills. Cross breathtaking sky bridges along the tree tops in a rainforest sanctuary. And learn how fishermen for ages have caught the Dungeness crabs featured in a feast you'll never forget!
- At Sea - While you and your family sail to each exciting port, a variety of activities await you on board. Join your fellow Adventurers for a private reception and Q&A attended by the ship's naturalist. Discover some of the secrets of Disney animation as you learn how to draw a Disney character. Dine in elegance at Palo and savor a wine tasting. And then bid your fellow Adventurers a farewell at a private reception the last night at sea.

Alaskan Wonders Family Cruise Vacation FAQ
1) What is the basis for your suggested minimum age for this trip?While we welcome children ages 4 and up at the time of travel to discover the stories of the world with us, we recommend that children be at least 6 years old at the time of travel on our Adventures by Disney Alaskan Wonders Family Cruise Vacation. This is based on several factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone differences in the destination, extended hours of daily activity programming, number of internal transports between experiences, potential for extreme temperatures in the summer months, and amount of physical activity involved. Because each child is different, call a Disney Cruise Line Reservations Agent to discuss whether this is the right trip for your kids.
2) What types of meals are served on this Adventures by Disney Trip?Lunches while on shore experiences usually include fish, meat, and pasta or rice entrées, vegetables along with salad, cheese, desserts and fruit. Some of the meals included on this trip are served buffet style while others offer a limited-choice menu. Given the nature of group travel, we regret that á la carte menu choices may not always be available. Children-friendly choices are available at all meals. Menu items are subject to change due to the availability and seasonality of foods.
3) Can you accommodate special dietary needs?Adventures by Disney will make a reasonable effort to accommodate some special dietary needs at no additional charge. Unfortunately, we may not be able to accommodate all special dietary needs requested. Please contact a Disney Cruise Line Reservations Agent in advance of your departure to advise us of your needs.
4) Is this itinerary appropriate for travelers with special needs?Please note that this vacation includes activities that present certain challenges to Guests with special needs. It is strongly recommended that persons requiring assistance be accompanied by a companion who is capable of and totally responsible for providing assistance. Neither Adventures by Disney nor its suppliers may physically lift or assist Guests onto transportation vehicles. Contact a Disney Cruise Line Reservations Agent to discuss your needs.
5) Are tips included?Adventures by Disney has pre-paid all ship board gratuities and all shore excursion related gratuities. Ship board gratuities include your stateroom attendant and ship board waiters. Gratuities for your Adventures Guides, however, are not included. If you feel that your Adventure Guides have provided excellent service, we suggest the discretionary gratuity, per Guest/per Adventure guide/per day of $6-$9 USD. For example:
- On an 8-day adventure, the Adventure Guide gratuity per guest, per Adventure Guide: $48-$72 USD.
- For a family of 4 for an 8-day adventure: $192-$288 USD per Adventure Guide. For 2 Guides, this is a total of $384-$576 USD. Adventure Guides accept local currency, U.S. dollars, and travelers' checks.
