Norwegian Fjord vs Alaska which is better?

[cedricandsophie]

We have done both.

Alaska was great but frankly I wish we had done a cruise on another ship that was only one way so you could get further north. And up to Denali.

We have done Norway on both Disney and another cruise. We liked both. I found there were more outdoor options in Norway than Alaska, with hiking, boating etc.
and the Disney ship really focuses on the frozen characters which was great for our kids.

We are doing Iceland and Norway on Disney next summer. Again we have been to both but just love the Disney experience

We've done both an Alaska cruise and the Norwegian fjords cruise on the Magic. Alaska was gorgeous, but I found the ports to be incredibly touristy. Lots of jewelry shops, etc. The excursions were fun. Norway, on the other hand, was spectacular and while the ports have a lot of tourists, I still felt like we saw authentic Norwegian sites, landmarks and things of cultural and historical interest. If I were to do Alaska again, I would go more inland. You barely see Alaska by doing a cruise.
