Alaska Cruise Planning 2026 | Best Tours to Book in Advance
Thinking about Alaska in 2026? Now’s the time to start planning! With a short summer season and limited availability on the most in-demand tours, booking early is the best way to secure your spot. Helicopter glacier landings, dogsledding on icefields, small-boat wildlife tours, and rail journeys fill up fast — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. At Alaska Shore Tours, even though we’re wrapping up another amazing season, our team is already getting ready for next year — and we’re here to make 2026 as unforgettable as possible. ✨ Book these must-do tours in advance: Mendenhall Glacier Paddle & Hike (Juneau): https://juneaushoretours.com/tours/juneau/glacier/mendenhall-glacier-paddle-and-hike?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Helicopter & Dogsled Glacier Excursion (Juneau): https://juneaushoretours.com/tours/juneau/flightseeing_helicopter/helicopter-and-dogsled-glacier-excursion?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Icefield Helicopter Excursion (Juneau): https://juneaushoretours.com/tours/juneau/flightseeing_helicopter/icefield-helicopter-excursion?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Waterfall Creek Bear Tour (Juneau): https://juneaushoretours.com/tours/juneau/wildlife_bear-watching/waterfall-creek-bear-tour?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Glacier Discovery Helicopter Tour (Skagway): https://skagwayshoretours.com/tours/skagway/flightseeing_helicopter/skagway-glacier-discovery-helicopter-tour?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Bennett Lake Scenic Journey (Skagway): https://skagwayshoretours.com/tours/skagway/sightseeing_train/bennett-lake-scenic-journey?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Misty Fjords Flightseeing (Ketchikan): https://ketchikanshoretours.com/tours/ketchikan/flightseeing/misty-fjords-flightseeing?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 Neets Bay Bear Watch (Ketchikan): https://ketchikanshoretours.com/tours/ketchikan/wildlife_bear-watching/neets-bay-bear-watch?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=blog-content&utm_content=20250925--alaska-cruise-planning-2026 💡 Pro tip: book early to lock in your must-do excursions, secure the best time slots, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your adventure is ready and waiting.
