From the serene Inside Passage to colossal glaciers and magnificent mountain ranges, Alaska cruises provide a vacation filled with adventure, beauty, and excitement. Because of the numerous cruise and cruisetour options available, it’s important to choose a cruise that best meets your needs. To help you decide which cruise is right for you, take a look at the information below. Then let one of our knowledgeable staff members guide you in the right direction.
Inside Passage Cruises
These classic seven-day roundtrip cruises typically sail from Vancouver or Seattle. You’ll stop at three or four port towns, such as Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Victoria, B.C. You’ll also spend a day in a glacier area and two or three days cruising through the lush scenery of the Inside Passage. A few Inside Passage cruises are longer than seven days. Princess Cruises, for example, offers 10- and 11-day voyages roundtrip from San Francisco.
Gulf of Alaska Cruises
These week-long cruises travel between Anchorage (Seward or Whittier) and Vancouver, with either a northbound or southbound itinerary. So instead of turning around at the end of the Inside Passage and retracing the same route back, you’ll sail along a rugged coastline through the Gulf of Alaska. Highlights include attractions such as Glacier Bay National Park, College Fjord in Prince William Sound, and interesting port towns like Skagway, Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan.
Alaska Cruisetours
If you have the time, include a land package in your Alaska vacation. You can see take part in activities such as whitewater rafting, viewing wildlife, touring a gold mine, and hiking through Denali National Park
Steps in Planning an Alaska Adventure
- Decide how much time you want to spend on your Alaska Vacation. Most cruises are 7 days, and cruisetours can add three to six days on land, where you’ll explore Alaska’s heartland.
- Choose where you want to go and what you would like to see on land.
- Decide when you want to travel. May and September are value seasons, and rates are lower than in June, July, and August.
- Choose a cruise line. Both Princess Cruises and Holland America Line are pioneers in Alaska cruising.
