Alaska is America's last great true frontier, an unspoiled wilderness of glimmering glaciers, abundant forests, towering mountains, exotic wildlife, and waterfront communities. Alaska is a destination full of Native American culture and Russian influence -- a step back in time to the days of gold rush saloons and oil booms. Alaska, simply put, is a once in a lifetime, dream vacation.

There are four types of Alaska Cruise Vacations:

Alaska - Roundtrip:

These are cruises that begin and end in the same port city. They are very popular because they are often 7 days long and leave from either Seattle or Vancouver which both offer a number of affordable flight schedules for the cruise passenger. Click Round-Trip Alaska Cruise for details.

Alaska - Northbound:

These are one-way Glacier Intensive cruises. They begin in Seattle or Vancouver and cruise North to Anchorage/Seward. Click Northbound Alaska Cruise for details.

Alaska - Southbound:

These are also one-way Glacier Intensive cruises. They begin in Anchorage/Seward and cruise South to Vancouver or Seattle. Click Southbound Alaska Cruise for details.

Alaska - Cruise and Land:

This is the most popular way to see Alaska. These cruise/tours give you the opportunity to combine an Alaska Cruise with a scenic land tour that takes you into the Interior of Alaska. These are the packages that often include the domed cars of the Alaska Railroad to Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley. Click Alaska Cruise Tours for details.

There certainly is no shortage of Alaska Cruises to choose from. We encourage you to do a lot research before choosing your trip and encourage you to contact one of our Alaska Experts to help you if necessary.
