Alaska Cruises
Embarking on one of the most captivating adventures, cruises to Alaska promise a voyage of untamed beauty and breathtaking landscapes, immersing yourself in the wild grandeur of the Last Frontier.
Sailing from Vancouver, Seattle or Seward, an Alaska cruise promises a journey of breathtaking vistas and unforgettable encounters. As the ship glides through the pristine waters, the charming port of Juneau awaits, where towering glaciers and lush forests paint a striking contrast against the clear blue skies.
Enjoy the quaint town of Ketchikan offering a glimpse into Alaska’s rich Native American heritage and is a prime spot for experiencing the thrill of salmon fishing. One of the crown jewels of any Alaskan cruise, Glacier Bay reveals a landscape that’s carved by time itself. Towering ice formations creak and groan as they make their slow march towards the sea, creating a spectacle that words struggle to capture.
Then there’s the legendary Rocky Mountaineer, a train journey that complements the majesty of Alaskan cruises. This luxurious train ride weaves through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, showcasing towering peaks, pristine lakes, and charming alpine towns. It’s a voyage of its own, a perfect prelude or postlude to an Alaskan adventure.

When is the best time to visit Alaska?
The best time to cruise Alaska is during the summer months, particularly between mid-June to mid-August. During this period, you’ll experience milder temperatures, longer daylight hours, and have the best chance of seeing wildlife. Additionally, the chances of rain are slightly lower than in the shoulder months of May and September. However, it’s worth noting that while May and September can be cooler and wetter, these months might offer smaller crowds and better deals.
It’s also essential to consider factors like local holidays, festivals and peak tourist seasons. It’s always a good idea to consult with one of our cruise agents who will give you the best advice!
