General Info:
An Alaskan cruise is a special vacation. From aboard a ship, you can experience Alaska in a traditional way. These water highways have been supporting travel since the earliest time. It's truly luxurious to glide past mountains and glaciers in total comfort and peace. The highlight of my trip through the inside passage was seeing a breaching humpback whale. Don't forget the field glasses!
There is so much information out on the web. I decided to make this small primer or introduction to cruising in Alaska.
There are many companies large and small providing tours from a few hours to up to 21 days at sea.
The Inside Passage is the most common ocean liner route and what I think of when I think of "Alaskan Cruise". But there is also the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. The companies offering these trips are:
Carnival Cruise Lines
Celebrity Cruises
Cruise West
Holland America Line
Norwegian Cruise Line
Princess Cruises
Radisson Seven Seas Cruises
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line
Silversea Cruises
There is another type of ocean tour called a Glacier or Wildlife Cruise. These last for a day or half-day and explore the calm waters near the coastline. Prince William Sound out of Whittier or Valdez and the Kenai Fjords out of Seward are popular spots for Glacier Wildlife Cruises.
