Native American culture are only a few of the
spectacular attractions that draw cruise vacationers to
Alaska. With so much to see and do in Alaska, it's no
wonder the state's official flower is the alpine
forget-me-not!
Ships that visit Alaska on a seven-day itinerary
typically sail along the Inside Passage and visit
Glacier Bay National Park or Hubbard Glacier, stopping
at four ports along the way. Most cruise lines also
offer a variety of extended cruise-tour package options
which take passengers deeper into Alaska via train and
include land stays at lodges and sightseeing in Denali
National Park - making their trip to Alaska even more
comprehensive.

sail strictly during the summer months, from early May
to mid-September. June, July and August can be
classified as peak season when average daily high
temperatures can reach 75 degrees Fahrenheit, so those
looking for the best value should check sailing dates in
May and September when temperatures hover around 50
degrees.

luxury vessels and midsize ships - most of which offer
expanded kids programs for family vacationers. While the
