Departure Ports for NORTH OR SOUTHBOUND ALASKA CRUISES:

Cruising to Alaska

Exploring The Last Frontier

Picture this: with fresh cup of coffee in hand, you head out onto your private balcony and take a deep breath of the clean, cool Alaskan air. High above the earth, majestic bald eagles soar against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains as they hunt for some breakfast of their own. Your gaze shifts down, just in time to see a humpback whale leap into the air before crashing back into the water below. And off in the distance, the mammoth blue-white glaciers jutting into the sky are like nothing you could have ever imagined. Sound like something out of a dream? That dream can become a reality on an amazing Alaska cruise.
Tourists in Alaska
Tourists in Alaska
According to Cruise Line International Association Alaska (CLIA Alaska), Alaska's cruise industry is expected to continue the unprecedented growth that has been the trend over the last few years. In fact, John Binkley, president of CLIA Alaska, expects cruise visitors to Alaska will increase 12% over 2018 projections, which are already expected to shatter the existing records set in 2017.
Once you've been to Alaska, it's easy to see why its popularity continues to rise. However, no mere description will do the destination justice — the only way to fully understand the wonder of Alaska is to experience it for yourself.
What's the best time to cruise Alaska?
That seems to be the $64,000 question, and there are no right or wrong answer, because it really all depends on the specific experience that you and your group want on your cruise. However, there ARE some important factors you need to consider (and some important questions you need to ask yourself) before you book.
Peak Season Vs. Offseason
There are both benefits and disadvantages to cruising Alaska during the peak season as opposed to the offseason, and vice versa. May and September, while not Alaska's most popular months for tourism, are both great options for planning a cruise — you'll typically find cheaper fares, but the weather tends to be more unpredictable, and there's a higher likelihood that shore excursions will be cancelled. On the flip side, June, July, and August are Alaska's warmest (and the tourism industry's busiest), often featuring better weather and more wildlife activity, but cruise fares are at their highest during these peak months.
Which Alaska cruise itinerary is right for me?
Let's face it…Alaska is huge! And with so many different unique destinations all calling Alaska home, choosing a cruise itinerary that stops at your desired ports is key. But with so many itinerary options, like northbound cruises departing from Vancouver, Seattle, or San Francisco, southbound cruises departing from Seward, or round-trip sailings departing from any number of ports mentioned, selecting the perfect itinerary may seem daunting, but never fear — here are some of Alaska's most popular destinations within the destination:
  • Glacier Bay National Park
    Simply put, Glacier Bay National Park isn't just one of the most breathtaking places in Alaska, but in the entire world. The crown jewel of Alaska's famed Inside Passage, most cruise itineraries include a day spent cruising Glacier Bay, and with good reason — nothing compares to the natural beauty you'll find in this UNESCO World Heritage site. Approximately 80% of the park's annual visitors arrive via cruise ship, so before you book, make sure Glacier Bay is included in your itinerary.
  • Juneau
    The capital of Alaska, Juneau is one of the state's most popular ports of call, with the vast majority of cruise ships including it in their itineraries. A popular site for whale watching, dog sledding, fishing, and more, Juneau offers visitors a glimpse into the vibrant culture at the heart of Alaskan life.
  • Skagway
    Originally rising to prominence during the Klondike Gold Rush, Skagway now has a population of about 1,000, but welcomes approximately 1,000,000 visitors annually — most of whom arrive via cruise ship. Skagway offers visitors the opportunity to spend time in the charming downtown area, surrounded by gold rush-era landmarks, or to embark on some of Alaska's signature nature-centric excursions. Regardless of how you decide to spend your time here, Skagway will most definitely leave you wanting more.
  • Ketchikan
    Ketchikan is the gateway to the Last Frontier. Once a thriving fishing port known as “The Salmon Capital of the World,” Alaska's 1st city is nestled amongst some of the most breathtaking scenery on planet earth, like Misty Fjords National Monument and Tongass National Forest. But in addition to its natural beauty, Ketchikan has become a center for the arts, a place where native Alaskan art and culture thrives. No Alaska cruise is complete without a stop in Ketchikan.

Denali National Park
Denali National Park
Given Alaska's sheer size, it's impossible to see everything you'd want to on a 7- or 11-night cruise, especially inland attractions — that's where cruise tours come in. Offered by most of the world's most popular cruise lines, including Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America Line, and Princess, a cruise tour is typically an extensive 3- to 8-night land tour you can book before or after your cruise. So if you want to do some extra exploring of Alaska's interior (or if you want a chance to see the aurora borealis), consider a pre- or post-sailing cruise tour to one of these destinations:
  • Denali National Park
    No visit to Alaska is complete without spending some time in Denali National Park. Home to Denali (formerly Mount McKinley), North America's highest mountain, this park offers a wildlife experience like no other. Be on the lookout for bears, wolves, caribou, moose, golden eagles, and so much more.
  • Seward (Anchorage)
    Juneau may be the capital of Alaska, but Anchorage is the state's most populous city. When compared to other destinations in Alaska, Anchorage stands apart, because it combines all the amenities of a big, modern city with the indigenous wildlife and natural beauty that's uniquely Alaskan. Embark on a scenic tour of the city, explore the surrounding areas by rail, learn about the local heritage — the choice is yours.
  • Fairbanks
    Not readily accessible for larger cruise ships but a staple on many cruise tour itineraries, Fairbanks offers visitors a glimpse into Alaska's interior, with a wide range of activities for seasoned and novice travelers alike. Learn about the local history as you explore Fairbanks by riverboat, or venture into the wild on a tour above the Arctic Circle. But whatever you do, keep your eyes peeled — Fairbanks is famous for its awe-inspiring views of the Northern Lights!

The Difference is in the Details…Pack Accordingly
An Alaska cruise is truly a vacation experience unlike any other. While Caribbean sailings often place an emphasis on lounging by the beach and relaxing, Alaska cruises cater to those who crave a more exciting getaway, filled with dogsledding, kayaking, glacier hikes, wildlife sightings, and much, much more. And since Alaska cruises are so unique, it makes planning ahead absolutely crucial — check out these tips and tricks before you book:
  • Pack wisely — you'll want to wear layers, so bring clothes suitable for a wide range of temperatures
  • It rains a lot in Alaska, so bring sturdy hiking boots that may get wet, and a waterproof jacket or parka
  • The side of the ship matters — for the best views of mainland mountains, select a starboard cabin if you're taking a one-way northbound cruise from Vancouver to Seward, and a port cabin if you're heading southbound
  • Splurge on a balcony stateroom — you absolutely won't regret it
  • Don't leave home without binoculars and a camera
  • Be sure to bring one or two formal outfits — your cruise is bound to have at least one formal night
  • Don't forget your swim suit — you'll likely want to swim on the ship, or unwind in the hot tub after a strenuous day spent exploring onshore
Adventure is Just an Excursion Away on an Alaska Cruise
Whale Watching, Icy Strait
Whale Watching, Icy Strait
If you don't mind returning to your ship dirty and sore, but with a camera full of amazing pictures, then Alaska might just be the perfect destination for you. However, as many excursions in Alaska are a bit more involved and intense than excursions you might find in The Caribbean or The Bahamas, Alaska excursions are often more expensive than you'd find in other destinations, making pre-planning that much more important — here are some of Alaska's most popular excursions that guests can't stop talking about:
  • Mendenhall Glacier Trek, Juneau
    Glaciers are synonymous with Alaska, but why just settle for seeing glaciers when you have the change to actually hike them? After disembarking in Juneau, you'll meet up with your experienced guide at the Mendenhall Valley and trailhead, where you'll begin your 4-mile hike through the Alaskan rainforest. The hike is strenuous, but well worth it when Mendenhall Glacier bursts into view! Once you reach the glacier, you'll be issued trekking gear, and then, along with your guide, you'll explore the many crevasses, ice caves, and streams that dot Mendenhall Glacier's ever-changing landscape. And when it's all said and done, you'll head back to port the same way you came — hiking through the Alaskan wilderness.
  • Helicopter & Dog Sledding Tour, Skagway/Juneau
    What's more Alaskan than dog sledding and helicoptering over the rugged Alaskan wilderness? Well on this excursion, that's exactly what you'll do. First, you'll get a once-in-a-lifetime aerial view of the glacier-carved peaks, ice formations, and frozen rivers that make Alaska one of the most unique destinations in the world. Then, once you reach the camp, it's time to experience Alaska's favorite pastime: dog sled racing. And you'll have a chance to try it firsthand — either as a passenger or by actually driving the sled yourself — before returning to your ship.
  • Misty Fjords National Monument Flightseeing Tour, Ketchikan
    Slowly carved into the landscape by millions of years of glacial activity, Misty Fjords National Monument boasts some of the most breathtaking scenery in Alaska, and the world. Crystal-clear lakes, towering cliffs, haunting mists, icy saltwater inlets, and more all combine to form this perfectly unspoilt slice of paradise, and the best way to see it all is from the sky. Be sure to keep your eyes open for wildlife as your pilot expertly guides the plane through the awe-inspiring fjords — all culminating in a water landing on a pristine mountain lake.
  • Kayak Tour, Ketchikan
    As home to countless species of bears, goats, moose, birds, and more, Alaska is known the world over for her wildlife. And as home to such an immense and diverse animal population, Alaska's wildlife is a huge draw for tourists — that's where this kayak tour comes in. Along with your expert guide (and a very small group of other guests), you'll explore the Alaskan coastline by kayak. But whatever you do, don't blink — these waters are home to orcas, porpoises, seals, sea lions, and humpback whales, and minks, river otters, deer, and the occasional black bear can be spotted along the shore.
  • Private Fishing Charter, Ketchikan
    With shipments going all over the world, one of Alaska's most popular exports is fish. What better way to get an authentic Alaskan experience than by embarking on your very own fishing trip? Once you arrive at your charter, you and your group will set out for a day of fun and adventure on the high seas. Your professional captain will know just the right spots to fish, and will do everything in his power to ensure that you return to shore with a good haul or salmon or halibut. But fish aren't all you'll encounter out here — keep your eyes peeled for whales, seals, porpoises, sea lions, sea otters, and bald eagles.
  • Whale Watching, Icy Strait
    Nothing quite compares to the sight of a mammoth whale breaching before crashing back down into the water below. And in the waters off the coast of Alaska, you'll have plenty of opportunities to witness just that. In fact, whales are so plentiful in these waters that you are guaranteed to see at least one whale or one orca, or your money will be completely refunded. But the animal sightings don't stop at whales — our whale watches often spot porpoises, sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and more.
