Misty Fjords vs. Kenai Fjords

[JZCruiser]

I am considering cruises to the Misty Fjords and the Kenai Fjords. Are they similar or different? Is it worth doing both?

 

A little background info…I am on the Coral Princess 5/26/08 northbound itinerary from Vancouver to Whittier. After the cruise, I will be doing an independent tour that includes taking the train from Anchorage to Seward to take the Kenai Fjords cruise. How similar or different are the two fjords? Should I skip Misty Fjords in Ketchikan and do another excursion?

 

Thanks for your help!

They are completely different, but Misty Fjords by air is superior in my opinion. Do not expect a lot of wildlife with the Misty Fjords boat tour.

BudgetQueen - I have a question along these lines for you. We are taking the Kenai 6 hour boat tour and the Tracy Arm all day boat trip in Juneau. I have also booked McKinley flightseeing with the glacier landing in Talkeetna. I would love to do the Misty Fjords flightseeing as well but the cost of these trips is killing me. Considering what I AM getting do , would I really miss out by not doing the flightseeing in Misty Fjords? Thanks for your opinion on this!!

You have some wonderful tours booked, go with what your budget allows. Every trip is a compromise. :)
