We're proud that our Easy Guide to Alaska Cruises and Ports of Call is by two foremost experts on the subject: Fran Golden, who writes about cruising for USA Today among other publications and Sherri Eisenberg, the former Editor-in-Chief of Cruiseline.com. Together, they have been on far more than 100 cruises, and the results of that experience are strikingly evident in this exhaustively-researched guidebook.
