MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Alaska is known for breathtaking glaciers, towering mountains, and majestic wildlife, but the planning can be a little overwhelming. Whether you’re planning a relaxing anniversary trip or an activity-filled small family reunion, cruising can bring new fun for all generations. Additionally, it presents an opportunity to cross off an item from your bucket list.

While there are plenty of destinations to explore, Alaska is at the top of travelers’ lists with a little something for everyone in the family, but where do you start?
