Top Things To Do In Alaska On A Cruise

An Alaskan cruise offers a discovery of breathtaking frozen landscapes and forests.

Dreaming of an unforgettable Alaskan adventure filled with stunning landscapes and majestic wildlife?

Taking an Alaska cruise is a bucket list trip for many people – and it's easy to understand why. Cruising is a convenient way to see multiple destinations and travel to remote places like Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. More adventures await than you can imagine, from taking a ride on the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad to helicopter and dog-sledding tours. You can also go fishing, crabbing or kayaking; hike in the Tongass National Forest; venture out on a wilderness safari; chase the northern lights; and much more.

Most mainstream and luxury cruise lines offer several itineraries in Alaska. Smaller and expedition-style ships also sail Alaska's waterways, such as Lindblad Expeditions, UnCruise Adventures and Alaskan-owned Alaska Dream Cruises. To make the most of your time – and to see as much as you can while visiting the Far North – combine a land and sea tour. Cruise lines like Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean International offer cruise tours that extend your time in Alaska. These add-on options feature multiday land, bus and rail tours to destinations not reachable by ship.

Seattle and Vancouver are two of the most embarkation ports for Alaska. Take a look at each home port to help you decide which is best for you.
