Alaska Cruise Tour

Alaska cruise tours offer an in-depth look at America's last unspoiled frontier.

Alaska cruise tours combine a cruise of the spectacular Inside Passage or Gulf of Alaska with a land tour that typically includes travel by motor coach, a train excursion in domed rail cars, and stays in wilderness lodges. Denali National Park, the Yukon gold rush country and the Canadian Rockies are among options for the land portion of an Alaskan cruise tour.

  • The Alaskan cruise tour season lasts from May through September.
  • Alaskan cruise tours last from 9 to 21 days.
  • You can find the most affordable rates for Alaska cruise tours in May and September, the off-peak periods.
  • Alaska experiences long hours of daylight during summer, lasting up to 23 hours a day in June.
  • Passengers who end their Alaskan cruise tours in Anchorage or Fairbanks typically are scheduled to return home on late-evening "red-eye" flights.
  • Because in most cases you'll need to fly a long distance to reach your port of departure, we suggest that you arrive at the port city at least one or two days in advance of your Alaska cruise tour. This will give you time to rest and get oriented before boarding the ship. Most cruise lines offer pre-cruise hotel packages.
