ALASKAN CRUISE

 

ALASKAN CRUISE VACATIONS

Alaska cruises  offer a unique experience in cruising. The state of Alaska is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun. It got its name from the fact that the days are really long from about April through September which just happens to be the best time to cruise Alaska. You'll be amazed at the amount of sunlight during these months. It's still daylight after 11:00PM!

When you plan your cruise to Alaska, you'll be looking for either an Inside Passage Cruise which sails from either Seattle or Vancouver; or a Glacier Cruise that sails from Anchorage or from Vancouver, Canada.

Many ships, large and small, make cruises to Alaska with cruise trips lasting from 6 to 30 days. Some of the larger cruise lines making the journey that you are familiar with are Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruise ships, Cruise West, Crystal Cruises, ,Radisson Seven Seas Cruises and Royal Caribbean (RCCL).

If you prefer a more intimate atmosphere, you may want to try one of the smaller Alaskan cruise ships. Smaller ships will usually carry about 70-110 passengers and travel the narrow lanes that  the larger ships cannot navigate. These small ships offer a better opportunity to get closer to the glaciers and whale pods for some interesting whale watching. However, it is important to note that the small ship cruse trips are more expensive than the super-liner cruise vacations. One cruise line that sails the smaller ships to Alaska is Cruise West Cruise Lines. Below is a list of some cruise ships traveling to Alaska.
