Choose an Unforgettable Alaska Sled Dog Excursion

Dogs Lovers will love a Sled Dog Excursion!

A sled dog excursion on your Alaska cruise will appeal to dog lovers of all ages. Next to seeing whales, it’s my favorite animal-themed excursion when we cruise!

 

Puppies, Puppies, and more Puppies

I’m a big dog lover, so on each of our Alaska cruises, I’ve prioritized a sled dog excursion. Some I’ve booked through the cruise line, others via private companies. Either way, the excursions were educational, fun, and filled with puppy snuggles.

Book your whale watching excursion in Juneau
