When planning a summer cruise, most people default to searching for itineraries that visit warm destinations, like the Bahamas, Caribbean, or Mediterranean. It isn't a proper summer vacation if you don't get a little sunburnt, right? Yet, many families opt to sail to Alaska and trade in their swimsuits and flip flops for rain jackets and gloves. From the diverse history and culture, to breathtaking scenery, exciting port adventures, abundant wildlife, and delicious seafood, Alaska has something to offer everyone.
For many travelers, Alaska is a bucket list destination. The beautiful glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and exciting adventures, like dog sledding in Skagway or a helicopter ride above Mendenhall Glacier, offer vacationers a truly unique and once-in-a-lifetime trip!
