Vancouver
Your MAT Advisor can setup a pre-cruise stay in Vancouver before you depart from the Port in for your Alaskan Disney Cruise. Vancouver is British Columbia’s largest city and has several options for sightseeing and hotel options to settle in prior to your sailing.
Skagway
This small town is steeped in history from the Gold Rush of 1890’s and was the setting of Jack London’s classic novel, “The Call of the Wild.” Visit museums, ride the Yukon Railroad, pan for gold, explore Glacier Point, play with Sled Dog puppies, zipline and more in Skagway.
Icy Strait Point
Experience the private cruise port of Icy Strait Point in Hoonah, a lively fishing community and Tlingit village where you can experience thrilling, nature-focused and cultural excursions.
If you are brave enough, zoom on a 5,330 foot long ZipRider or indulge in culinary experiences, kayak or ride ATVs, or look for wildlife on a catamaran. Icy Strait Point has something for all activity levels and interests.
Ketchikan
Established in 1883 with a single salmon saltery, Ketchikan has grown to Alaska’s 5th largest city with a population of around 7600 people, as in know as the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Here you can experience natural wonders of the Misty Fjords, learn about the cultural heritage of Native Alaskans, visit the Deer Mountain Tribal Hatchery and Eagle Center, watch a lumberjack show, fish, go on a wildlife cruise, kayak, hike, zipline or enjoy culinary experiences. There are many family-friendly excursion options to choose from.
Juneau
Alaska’s state capital has a wide variety of options for every interest available for your day in port ranging from active options like experiencing the Mendenhall Glacier, hiking, kayaking, fishing, and sled dog experiences to more laid back options like riding the Mount Roberts Tramway, visiting the Alaska State Museum, visiting a hatchery, viewing incredible gardens, whale watching and wildlife viewing.

When you visit the quiet fishing community of Sitka, located in the heart of the largest temperate rainforest in the world (the Tongass National Forest), you have a wide variety of port activities to choose from! Wildlife and natural encounters are prevalent in Sitka ranging from Wildlife quests, visiting Eagle Rescue Centers, bear sanctuaries, or you can dry snorkel, kayak, bike, hike or cruise. Culinary excursions are also available.
Glaciers
Glacier viewing is usually in the top 3 for most families when we ask about activities they want to do on their Alaskan cruise. Depending on your itinerary, you may visit Stikine Icecap or drift by the 600 foot Hubbard Glacier. You won’t be the same after seeing these in person – gorgeous!
