I only booked two shore excursions on the Sapphire Princess and both were excellent
First the Bear and Eagle tour that takes you from the cruise port in Scagway by Catamaran to Haines. Its a lovely 45 minute boat ride with amazing scenery and calm waters to Haines. You then take a bus to see the eagles and birds nests where the guide has some gear that you can use with your cell phone to take amazing pictures. Then you drive along looking for bears and you stop in a national park where the water views are terrific. We saw a mama bear and cubs. The lunch is great (ceasar chicken wrap etc) in the town hall. I would take this tour again. There was a couple who had been on it several times
Second the Deadliest Catch tour out of Ketchikan. I am not a regular watcher of the series, but don't let that detract you. The staff are friendly and informative. We saw eagles - they throw out fish to them. We also saw a humpback whale up close and personal at the side of the boat. You will laugh alot at the speakers, get to handle crab and other sea creatures. Again another great tour
Hope this helps
