Endless Holiday

An Alaska adventure cruise offers something for everyone. Whether one desires a full-length vacation or just a weekend excursion to get away from it all for a few days, such cruises are the perfect choice. Travelers can select from a vast array of themes when purchasing a package, and excursions of this kind are available in a wide range of prices.

Such cruises are also an ideal way to learn about the state’s fascinating history. Whale and dolphin sightings are common as well. For this reason, those who enjoy viewing marine life in its natural habitat should consider packages that feature whale sighting excursions.

A cruise of this kind can be booked at virtually anytime of the year, although to see the widest variety of marine life, the best choice is a Southern Alaskan cruise, as such cruises offer the best opportunities to see beluga whales, orca whales, blue whales or the celebrated Humpback whales as they migrate from Hawaii with their young. Almost anywhere whales are found, passengers can also expect to see dolphins.

Amazing Photo-Opportunities

An Alaskan wilderness package is another option travelers should consider. Such cruises typically sail along the edge of the Tongass National Forest between Ketchikan and Juneau. The landscapes and scenery along this route will never be forgotten by those fortunate enough to experience such an adventure.

Alternatively, an excursion through the inside passage of the Glacier Bay National Park is a great option. This icy strait offers outstanding scenery, including impressive glacier formations. With some cruise lines, additional activities are available when the liner docks, such as exploration by kayak, hiking or skiffs.

Mesmerizing Alaskan Landscape

With the broad range of lines and packages from which to choose, it is not difficult to find an option to suit essentially any budget or lifestyle. However, it is wise to book such packages well in advance to avoid missing the dates one desires. Regardless of one’s vacation objectives, an Alaska adventure cruise will be remembered for a lifetime.
