Into the Wilderness

Whether you’re drawn to the call of the wild, eager to savour fresh, local flavours or in search of awe-inspiring scenery, Alaska has something extraordinary in store for you. This is the great outdoors on a whole new scale - dramatic, untamed and endlessly beautiful. Known as America’s Last Frontier, Alaska promises unforgettable moments at every turn. And what better way to explore its rugged coastline and remote wonders than on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise?

Where do Alaska cruises go?

Alaska cruises take you to some of the most breathtaking places in the world. Every stop offers a new adventure, from vibrant frontier towns to breathtaking fjords.

Juneau

Tucked between towering mountains and glistening waters, Juneau is Alaska’s breathtaking gateway to the Last Frontier. Surrounded by pristine wilderness, this charming capital city is a paradise for outdoor lovers and culture seekers alike. From trekking across ancient glaciers like the famous Mendenhall to hiking through lush rainforests, adventure is never far away. The vast Juneau Icefield, with its 38 glaciers, sits just behind the city and creates a stunning, unforgettable view.

Ketchikan

Nestled along the rugged coastline of Alaska’s Inside Passage, Ketchikan is a lively blend of culture, adventure and natural wonder. Often called the Salmon Capital of the World, it’s a paradise for seafood lovers and outdoor explorers alike. Stroll down historic Creek Street, a lively spot during the Gold Rush days, or head out to explore the stunning Misty Fjords National Monument.

Sitka

Surrounded by misty forests and a rugged coastline, Sitka is a beautiful coastal town on the western shore of Baranof Island. This charming town blends rich history, vibrant culture and breathtaking wilderness in one unforgettable setting. Once the capital of Russian America, Sitka welcomes visitors with its historic sites, vibrant arts scene, and rich Tlingit heritage, seen in its detailed totem poles and interesting museums.

Skagway

Hidden in the rugged scenery of Alaska’s Inside Passage, Skagway is a frontier town where gold rush history meets wild, natural beauty. Surrounded by towering mountains and pristine fjords, Skagway welcomes visitors to walk its historic streets, lined with old buildings that bring the Klondike Gold Rush to life. Adventure is never far away, whether you’re riding the legendary White Pass & Yukon Railway into the soaring peaks or exploring the untamed wilderness beyond the town.

Tracy Arm Fjord

Tracy Arm Fjord cuts through towering cliffs and old glaciers, making it one of the most stunning sights in the Inside Passage. Adorned with shimmering icebergs and vivid blue waters, this remote fjord unveils a world of raw, untouched beauty. As you sail its winding channels, the crisp scent of pine fills the air, and the silence is broken only by the thunderous crack of calving ice.


Best things to do on an Alaska cruise

To say that Alaska is beautiful would be an understatement. From the moment you arrive, the landscape feels almost unreal - snow-capped mountains rise in the distance, their steep slopes leading into thick forests of Sitka spruce, covering the land in deep green. These mighty trees stretch as far as the eye can see, lining riverbanks and covering hillsides in a vast blanket of wilderness.

Cutting through it all are the serene, glacial waterways of the Alaskan archipelagos. These graceful channels wind their way through the dramatic scenery like ribbons of silver, slowly carving paths that lead out to the open ocean. As you cruise through the famous Inside Passage, you’ll glide between misty mountains, passing remote towns, lively ports, and hidden parts of Alaska you’d likely never see any other way.

An Alaska cruise is nothing short of spectacular, especially when it comes to wildlife. So, keep your eyes peeled and your camera close because nature tends to put on quite the show. In southeast Alaska, you might see a whale rise from the water or hear the distant call of a bald eagle across the quiet, open landscape. On Kodiak Island, bears wander freely, moose peek through the trees in national parks, and grey wolves move through the wild. It’s a dream come true for wildlife lovers.

But there’s more to Alaska than its dramatic landscapes and majestic creatures. Alaska has a deep history and is home to many Indigenous communities, including the Iñupiat, Yupik, Aleut, Tlingit, Haida and others. Their traditions, shaped by thousands of years of living in harmony with the land, offer a deeper understanding of the state’s soul. Visit the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage to see interesting exhibits, watch traditional arts and crafts, and enjoy music and dance performances that celebrate Alaska’s culture - past and present.

And then there’s the food - hearty, wholesome and full of flavour. Freshly caught Alaskan salmon is a must-try, as is the beloved local favourite, halibut. Explore local food stalls and markets where you can try reindeer hot dogs, or head out to places like Chitina to watch traditional fishing in action. Feeling adventurous? Try a spoonful of Eskimo ice cream, known as Akutaq - a traditional dish made with berries and animal fat. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever tasted.


When is the best time to cruise to Alaska?

Alaska is a land of dramatic seasons, each revealing a different side of its wild beauty. The best time to cruise to Alaska depends on what you’d like to experience - whether it’s blooming spring scenery, colourful autumn forests or peak summer wildlife.

Spring is a great time to cruise if you’re looking for quieter ports, snow-capped mountain views and active wildlife. Bears begin to emerge from hibernation, and whales start arriving in Alaskan waters. Summer is peak season, with longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures and excellent chances for whale watching. It’s perfect for outdoor adventurers, glacier viewing and exploring lively coastal towns. Autumn offers a more peaceful pace, with vibrant autumn colours, fewer crowds and a chance to spot the northern lights. Wildlife remains active, and the air turns crisp. Winter is outside the traditional cruise season, but Alaska transforms into a snowy wonderland.

FAQs: 7 Things to Know Before Your Cruise to Alaska

What should I pack for a cruise to Alaska?

When packing for an Alaska cruise, it’s important to be ready for all kinds of weather. Even in summer, you can experience cool mornings, warm afternoons and rainy spells, so bringing layers is key. Pack t-shirts, long-sleeve tops, fleeces, a warm jacket, and a waterproof coat and trousers. Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots are a must for shore excursions, and don’t forget a warm hat, gloves and scarf for glacier viewing.

Binoculars are great for spotting wildlife, and a small backpack will come in handy for day trips. You’ll also want to bring swimwear for the ship’s pools or hot tubs, suncream and sunglasses for sunny days, and a smart outfit if your cruise has formal evenings. A camera, insect repellent, and a refillable water bottle are also useful extras.


When is the best time to cruise to Alaska?

The best time to cruise to Alaska is between late April and early October, when the weather is milder and the wildlife is most active. Each part of the season offers something special. May and early June tend to be quieter, with fewer crowds, lower prices, and beautiful spring landscapes. July and August are the warmest months, offering long daylight hours and excellent whale-watching opportunities, although they are also the busiest. September and October bring cooler weather, vibrant autumn colours, fewer tourists, and even a chance to spot the Northern Lights.
