Alaska is a destination really coming into its own. Once merely associated with older cruise ships and colder climates, sophisticated travelers and modern cruise lines alike have come to recognize the wildlife and landscapes as not only unique, but an amazing place to have an adventure!
Most visitors to Alaska do so by sea, whether as part of a cruise or even a fishing trip on a private charter. There are inland packages to visit Denali and a few other sites you might enjoy if you're not sure about being shipboard. An Alaska cruise can be an excellent way of exploring your own backyard from an entirely new perspective. If you've enjoyed a Caribbean cruise or want an opportunity to connect with those who matter to you most in a setting focused on the wilderness of mountains and glaciers, Alaska might be for you!
Planning your trip
For convenience, a return itinerary from Seattle or Vancouver can't be beat. You'll want a cabin with a great view on this voyage, consider cabin with a balcony or even a rear-facing cabin on the ship's stern.
Any vacation package which includes Denali as an extension of your visit is going to be an adventure. If you're really looking for the "wow factor", consider scheduling a helicopter or sea plane trip during your vacation.
When you should go
Despite being a year-round place of residence for many, Alaska is a seasonal destination. With most cruises and tours operating from the end of April through to the September, occasionally October period. The peak season coincides with those months which would see the most daylight but also those months which welcome families with school aged children enjoying their own school vacation.
Expect cooler days and especially evenings in the spring and fall months, while summer months may be warmer. You'll want an option for something warmer to wear during the evenings throughout the season.
