Alaska is two times the size of Texas which makes it the largest state in the United States and since it has more coastline than any other state, the best way to view America’s frontier, is by a cruise ship.

The following are the top reasons to view the treasures of Alaska from the decks of the Norwegian Pearl.

The first reason is simply related to the fact that Norwegian Pearl cruises to Alaska offer passengers flexible schedules, activities, dress codes, dining, accommodations and entertainment. This philosophy that Norwegian Pearl cruises have adopted is called “freestyling,” where passengers are strongly encouraged to create their own cruise experience.
