Most of the Alaskan coastline and the Inside Passage are not accessible by car, so approximately one million tourists a year board cruise ships to visit a handful of small towns like Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. A major highlight is slowly sailing through the Inside Passage to enjoy the mountains, coves, islands and inlets. Especially exciting to see are the spectacular glaciers at Glacier Bay National Park and Reserve. It consists of 3.3 million acres and is a World Heritage site.
