“Cruising
Alaska is a bucket list experience like no other! The wildlife and scenery is
otherworldly, with everything from bright blue glaciers to seals and whales
frolicking in full view of your ship’s deck. Wow!”
From the
charming islands and waterways around Ketchikan to the icefields and fjords of
Glacier Bay National Park, every Alaska cruise itinerary offers boundless
opportunities to spot some of the 49th State’s most iconic wildlife:
Playful humpback whales and orca swimming alongside the ships, brown bears
lazing on the shoreline and eagles soaring overhead.
Want to
experience it for yourself? Here are two show-stopping itineraries handpicked
for your consideration by our Alaska cruise expert, Judy Jenkins.

Voyage of the Glaciers with Princess Cruises
This comprehensive itinerary sails north through the British Colombia

across the Gulf of Alaska and into Prince Arthur Sound. Along the way, you’ll
visit gold rush-era ports and two spectacular glacier viewings at Glacier Bay
National Park and College Fjord.
Cruise Pick: 7-day Alaskan Inside
Passage with Holland America
Cruise roundtrip from Vancouver, through the Inside Passage and on to
Ketchikan, watching for whales, Dahl porpoises and bald eagles in their
splendid natural habitat of glacier-cut fjords, massive ice fields and
temperate rain forests. Tracy Arm Inlet and World Heritage Site Glacier Bay
National Park are the highlights of this itinerary.
