Alaska - The Great Frontier

Aw Inspiring scenery
glistening glaciers
plentifull wildlife
and Native American culture are only some of the marvelous attractions that attract cruise vacationers to Alaska. With so much to see and do in Alaska
it's no wonder the state's official flower is the alpine forget-me-not!

Cruise Lines that sail to Alaska on a seven-day itinerary usually cruise along the Inside Passage and visit Glacier Bay National Park or Hubbard Glacier
stopping at four ports along the way. Most cruise lines also offer a arrange of extended cruise-tour package options which take passengers deeper into Alaska via train and include land stays at lodges and sightseeing in Denali National Park - making their trip to Alaska even more exciting.

For weather and sunlight purposes
cruises to Alaska cruise strictly during the summer months
from early May to mid-September. June
July and August can be known as peak season when average daily high temperatures can reach 75 degrees Fahrenheit
so those looking for the best rates should check sailing dates in May and September when temperatures settle around 50 degrees.

A variety of ships & cruise lines sail to Alaska
including luxury vessels and midsize ships - most of which offer expanded kids activity for family vacationers. While the majority of cruise ships sail from Vancouver
BC
Seattle is increasingly becoming a favorite summer homeport for many lines. Both embarkation/disembarkation points allow cruise ships to visit the most popular ports on an Alaska cruise
including Juneau
Ketchikan and Skagway.

Choose to cruise for YOU. You can have the vacation of a lifetime
see the world
completely unwind
take a walk on the wild side
dance the night away
feast on fabulous cuisine
learn something new
make friends
bond with your family
steal quiet moments with your spouse. Whatever your heart desires
is yours
when you choose to cruise.
