Typical total cost of excursions on an Alaska cruise?

Ok well I find this really helpful. Thanks everyone.

One could do 2 excursions in Skagway, but with Juneau and Ketchikan having shorter port times in 2012, one excursion is probably all one could do. Victoria is the 4th port this year, and there will be evening excursions. However, based on what can be done in 4 hours in the evening, the most expensive would probably be Tea at the Empress @ $116.

Thanks! Very helpful.

We did a DCL excursion in each port and spent approx $1200.00. this was for 2 people. I think the main reason it might seem high for 2 was the excursion we did in Ketchican. We did the Wildlife viewing, but was OH so worth the money. The group was only 8 people including the guide. It also is only offered at the end of season. We sailed in Aug.

The OP is asking for a general ballpark of what a person with a family spent on just excursions on their Alaskan Disney cruise. Not for anything specific on particular excursions. No one can chime in on what they spent on their excursions?

For the OP, going on how expensive Alaskan excursions are and that on average, you could do maybe no more than 2 per port, you could possibly average it this way:

3 ports x 2 excursions each = 6 possible excursions
@ an average of $200 (ballpark) pp x family of 4 = $800 per excursion
$800 x 6 = $4800 est. for trip in just excursions

Of course, some excursions are more or less, and children prices will be a bit cheaper than adult prices.

Seems rather excessive. Does anyone really do two excursions at one port. All the talks about the port times I wouldn' think that would be feasible. IMO

I'm doing the 3 port package for young families at a price of $389 for an adult and $198 for child. Seems the most economical for my first trip to Alaska and the $200 onboard credit will absorb some of that.

I'm glad to hear that someone is doing this. I had looked at this too.
