My wife and I are planning an Alaskan trip for our 20th Anniversary in the Summer of 2024. We want to do our own land tour for 4-5 days before and then a one-way, 7-night cruise to Vancouver after. Here are the three options we've narrowed down to. Would love any feedback or thoughts from those with more experience than us. Thanks in advance, everyone!
