Most Popular Cruise Itineraries

Cruise lines visit Alaska between May and September.

Inside Passage cruises are characterized by round trip departures from Seattle, Vancouver or San Francisco which travel into Alaska’s Inside Passage with port stops in Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, or Skagway.  Glacier displays in the mighty Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier and Tracy Arm are also found in the area.  Inside passage cruises can be 7 or 10 days in length but are typically 7 days.  All of the cruise lines above offer the 7-day cruise; Princess® also offers 10-day sailings.

Gulf of Alaska cruises are 7 days, traveling southbound from Anchorage (Whittier or Seward) to Vancouver, or northbound in the opposite direction, and include most of the port stops along the Inside Passage, with additional Glacier displays in the Gulf of Alaska’s College Fjord.  This itinerary is the gateway to the Heartland of Alaska and makes Cruise-Tours possible.  Celebrity, Holland America, Princess® and Royal Caribbean offer this itinerary.

Combine Inside Passage & Gulf of Alaska: Holland America offers a 14-day Connoisseur’s cruise round trip from Seattle that encompasses both the Inside Passage and Gulf of Alaska.
