Alaska cruises start in May! The best cruise experience in Alaska includes nights on land in Anchorage, Denali, and Fairbanks. Turn a seven-day cruise into a twelve-day adventure by including tours through Denali National Park, a chance to pan for gold, and opportunities to view the local wildlife. You might spot sea otters and sea lions, black or brown bears, whales, deer, bald eagles, and plenty of marine birds like puffins. An Alaskan cruise provides plenty of breathtaking, rugged scenery with the added bonus of comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, and quality time with your loved ones.
