Alaska Cruise Tours

Alaska Cruise Tours offers the best in Alaska experiences. These tours combine both worlds into one fabulous vacation package.

In Seward you land portion will begin. The other option you have is to begin your vacation in Anchorage and take the land portion of your vacation first. When your land portion is over you will travel by motor coach to Seward and from there your cruise portion will begin. You will cruise from Seward to Vancouver.

What you see and do on your Alaska Cruise Tour is dependent upon what cruise line you choose and also what tour package you choose. Also when taking your land portion of your vacation or while stopping in ports of call you can choose to take part in more of what Alaska has to offer that are separate from what the cruise line has placed in your package.

Alaska has an abundance of wildlife and while in Denali National Park take the time to take a bus tour and see Alaska's brown bears in their natural habitat. While on your land portion of your trip or even while taking time in a port of call on your cruise, don't miss out on the chance to do some adventurous kayaking. While kayaking keep your eyes open for the caribou and even the bears that are on the arctic tundra. while you can see the glaciers from your ship while on your cruise, you can really get up close to them while on your land tour or while at a port of call during your cruise. For some adventure you can walk onto some of these glaciers.

What you choose to do is really up to you. This is your vacation so you can do as little or as much as you want. Most cruise lines will spend the day in the ports of call, so this gives you a chance to see and do something that you didn’t get to do during your land portion.

The cruise lines that you can choose from that offer the Alaska Cruise Tours are Celebrity Cruises, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises. Also Cruise West offers the Alaska Cruise Tours in a smaller ship with only 100 passengers or less. The prices for these cruise tours varies depending on the cruise line and the time of year you will be taking your cruise.

The best time of year to take an Alaska Cruise Tour is starting in late May all the way through to the end of August. Sometimes it may be ideal still at the very beginning of September.
