Is an Alaska expedition cruise worth the splurge for families? A regular Alaska cruise can run about $2,000 per person, and an expedition cruise costs much more. Here's what the extra money actually buys. Expedition cruise: a small ship, Zodiac landings, kayaking, naturalists on board and most excursions included. Regular big-ship cruise: less up front, but excursions, drinks and gratuities add up fast, with bigger crowds at every port. My verdict: the expedition price only makes sense if the experience is the point of your trip. For curious kids 7 and up who love being outside, it's worth a hard look. For scenery, ship fun and big shows, a regular cruise may be the smarter spend. I'm Morgan Sanders, a luxury family travel advisor with Travel More With Morgan.
