Take an Alaskan cruise and you'll be completely overawed by the ice, mountains, the expansive sky, and
untouched wilderness that seems to go on forever. Alaska cruises will let you see ice fields as big as cities,
mountainous glaciers, sky-blue icebergs, rain-forested fiords, wild flowers and endless tundra. The wildlife will
include whales, moose, bears, bald eagles and ravens.

Most Alaska cruises concentrate on the Southeast
Alaska panhandle, a string of islands linked by the
waterway known as the Inside Passage. Some
Alaska cruises stay entirely within the Southeast
Alaska panhandle region.
Alaska cruises usually sail a round-trip from
Vancouver, British Columbia, or Seattle,
Washington. Others Alaska cruises sail between one
of those ports and the northern towns of Seward or
Whittier. These are the ports nearest to Alaska’s
biggest city, Anchorage.
Alaska has paved the way for cheap luxury cruises.
In addition to seeing fascinating coastal sights, most
luxury Alaska cruises offer 'add-ons' to the cruise
itineraries such as a visit to Denali National Park or
kayaking in Ketchikan. Other 'add-ons' to Alaska
cruises include king salmon fishing, guided bear
viewing trips, whale watching excursions, dogsled
rides and white-water rafting tours.
In general the best time to take Alaska cruises is
between of May and September. July and August
often provide the best weather condition to enjoy
your Alaska cruising. The prices of Alaska cruises
are generally higher than cruises to other locations
such as the Caribbean and the Bahamas. The
cheapest time to take Alaska cruises is during the
harse winter months when demand is lowest.
