Ports

• Alaskan Roundtrip Cruises
  Convenience is one big reason these roundtrip cruises are so popular. Since voyages embark and disembark from the same city, planning is easy - and airfare is often more economical. Alaskan roundtrip cruises are also known as "Inside Passage Cruises," since most itineraries include a voyage to the famed glacier region. While most roundtrip cruises run 7 nights and depart from Vancouver, there are a few 3- and 4-night sailings available from Whittier, as well as select 10-night voyages departing from San Francisco.
• The Voyage
  Your first day at sea usually features a trip through the Inside Passage. Then, depending on the ship and itinerary, you'll visit 3 or 4 of the following ports of call: Juneau, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan, Hubbard Glacier, Skagway/Haines, and Sitka. Upon arriving back in Vancouver, you'll either hop a flight home or spend a few days exploring British Columbia or Seattle (with hotel accommodations included).
• Options
  Choosing a roundtrip itinerary means you'll enjoy maximum convenience and flexibility when it comes to flight options. Seniors and families often prefer terminals in Vancouver or San Francisco because sailing and flying in and out of the same port usually makes for a more relaxing vacation. Seattle - located only 3.5 hours from Vancouver's pier - is the popular option for cruisers who favor a scenic drive and a hotel stay before and after an Alaskan cruise (see Cruise Tours for more details). And remember - if you plan on using frequent flyer miles, it's a good idea to book your flight as early as possible. Those seats sell out quickly!

Alaska Cruises - Regions & Attractions

Alaska covers an area approximately 586,000 square miles in size, and it's by far the largest state in America. It's also home to North America's tallest mountain – the majestic Mt. McKinley, rising an incredible 20,320 feet into the sky. Alaska boasts 34,000 miles of coastline – more than all of the other states combined – and a total of 3 million lakes dot the Last Frontier's wilderness.
