Tips for booking Your Alaska Cruise.
 
The Alaska Cruise Season is very short. Only 3 months. Because of this the availability tends to sell out more quickly than other Cruise Destinations. If you are planning to make an Alaska Cruise your vacation next year it is a good idea to start looking at your options while the availibility is still good.
 
An Alaska Cruise is Very Popular. This is also a factor that makes the availability very limited.
 
When Cruising Alaska there are several itineraries to choose from. You could choose from a Northbound Cruise (typically Vancouver to Anchorage) or a Southbound Cruise (typically Anchorage to Vancouver) or a Roundtrip Itinerary (typcally departing and returning to Vancouver). Because of this you will want to be on the correct side of the ship to be able to see all the magnificant scenerary. On a Northbound Cruise you will want to be on the Starboard (Right) side nnd on a Northbound Cruise you will want to be on the Port (left) side. If this is important to you, then it narrows the availabilty down even more.
 
Oceanview Staterooms and Balcony Staterooms are very popular on an Alaska Cruise. Even guests who normally travel in the Inside Staterroms, they usually splurge when they go on an Alaska Cruise. Truely, some of the highlights of the Alaska Vacation can only be seen from a Cruise Ship. If this is important to you then it also narrows the availability down even more.
 
Right now is a great time to reserve your Alaska Vacation. Most of the Early Booking Discounts have already come out, making this a great time to reserve your Alaska Vacation. You have the best chance of getting exactly what you want, where you want it on the Ship and at the Best Price.
 
Alaska Shore Excursions. Many of the Shore Excursions in Alaska are very limited in space. It would be ashame to go to Alaska and not be able to do exactly what you want to do. You can start resrving your shore excursions after you have reserved your Alaskacruise.
 
Destination Information
 

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska (Scenic Cruising)
This spectacular national park and preserve displays massive glaciers that stretch 3.3 million acres from the St. Elias and Fairweather mountain ranges to the ends of the fjords. It is home to an amazing world of marine life, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises and harbor seals. It also possesses the highest concentration of tidewater glaciers on the planet. And access is extremely limited.

 
Ketchikan, Alaska
This southern-most Alaskan port city is known as Alaska's First City because it was the first major community travelers came to heading north. Founded as a fishing camp, Ketchikan is built on steep hillsides and is billed as the salmon capital of the world. A quaint village, the town is just three miles long and three blocks wide.

 
Juneau, Alaska
Perched on a thin strip of land at the mouth of Gold Creek, Juneau is arguably one of America's most beautiful state capitals, with the looming summits of Mt. Juneau and Mt. Roberts providing a gorgeous backdrop.

 
Skagway, Alaska
Few one-time boomtowns retain the flavor of the gold rush days like Skagway. This gateway to the Klondike is preserved as a national historic park with its rustic boardwalk and frontier-style storefronts. Due to its geographic location, Skagway enjoys a drier climate compared to the rest of southeastern Alaska, with an average annual precipitation of only 22 inches
.
 
Valdez, Alaska
Often referred to as “Alaska’s Little Switzerland,” Valdez is situated at the head of a deep fjord in the northeast section of Prince William Sound. A small seaside community where the “mountains meet the sea,” it is surrounded by the 5,000 foot tall Chugach Mountains and numerous glaciers.

 
Sitka, Alaska
Resting between snowcapped mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Sitka is easily one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Alaska, and has a unique blend of Russian history and Tlingit culture. It's also the biggest town in Alaska, encircling 4,710 square miles on Baranof Island.

 
Prince William Sound, Alaska (Scenic Cruising)
With its 3,000 miles of shoreline and islands that form a natural breakwater between the Sound and the Gulf of Alaska, Prince William Sound is one of the most scenic archipelagoes in the world. Surrounded by the Chugach Mountains, it hosts the largest gathering of migratory birds in America.

 
College Fjord, Alaska (Scenic Cruising)
Some of the best glacier viewing in the state can be seen tucked into the northwest corner of Prince William Sound at College Fjord. Winding down from mountains and through valleys and fjords, these massive rivers of ice are often on the move, periodically dropping their bounty into the sea.

 
Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska (Scenic Cruising)
Located 50 miles southeast of Juneau, this spectacular glacier-carved fjord has sheer vertical walls that clearly showcase nature's artistry. Linger in this magical place to watch blocks of ice calving off the glaciers towering faces.
