Visiting Alaska wouldn’t be complete without trekking into the heart of the largest U.S. state. Enhance your cruise experience along the rugged coast by traversing the frontier in a glass-domed train car while zipping past glaciers and wildlife, staying in premier lodges embedded near national parks, and more!

Cruisetours help maximize the value of your vacation to Alaska by combining up-close views of the glacier-filled shoreline with multiple overnight stays either before or after your sailing in centrally located villages and cities.

Begin or end your trip by cruising to ports including Whittier, which serves as an entryway to Prince William Sound and the city of Anchorage; Ketchikan, with its quaint streets, cable cars, and boutiques; Kodiak, where you can watch some of Alaska’s most distinct wildlife; and Valdez, where you are surrounded by the fascinating Chugach Mountains rising 5,000 feet above you.

Next hop on your luxury motorcoach or train car and travel inland to discover some of the world’s most breathtaking sites. Visit Glacier Bay with its colossal glaciers which span 3.3 million acres; explore the core of Denali National Park which is home to the tallest mountain in North America, Mt. McKinley; sail down the Yukon River; and more.

Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises both offer America’s Vacation Center customers 21 cruisetour packages ranging between 9 to 13 nights. In addition to your 7-night cruise, you will travel by luxury motorcoach and on the ‘Wilderness Train’, (which offers a bistro-style restaurant and plush seating), while enjoying surrounding views of Alaska’s wildlife, rivers, and rainforests.

Holland America offers America’s Vacation Center customers 29 cruisetours which span from 10 to 19 nights, and with several distinct excursions and tours to choose from, you can essentially customize your own vacation.
