Alaska is a seasonal cruising destination, meaning most sailings take place between May and September. Cruisers can choose to sail through the Inside Passage or the Gulf of Alaska. Common embarkation ports include Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, as well as the Alaskan cities of Seward and Whittier. Popular cruise stops on Alaskan sailings include ports in Juneau, Sitka and Skagway.
This is a different type of cruise than you'd take to the Caribbean; you won't get beach time and you shouldn't anticipate too much sunbathing. Even in the summer months, Alaska's daytime temperatures can dip to 60 degrees. Sightseeing and more adventurous excursions like dog sledding, whale or bear watching, helicopter rides and boat tours through the fjords are some of the highlights of Alaskan cruises.
To find deals for an Alaska cruise, consider sailing at the beginning or end of the season instead of peak time. For example, voyages in May and September typically cost less than sailing in July or August. Holland America is considered one of the more affordable cruise lines for Alaskan sailings, with inside rooms starting between about $100 to $200 per person, per night during the shoulder seasons.
