Hot Cruise Destination: Alaska

With its wonderful wildlife, scenic landscapes, and glistening glaciers, it’s clear to understand why Alaska is such a popular cruise destination. The Alaskan cruise season runs from May until September. Over the past few years, Alaska has seen a surge in popularity, resulting in some of the top cruise lines expanding their capacity in the region with some of their newest and largest ships over the next few years. For the first time in 20 years, Cunard will be returning to Alaska with the luxurious Queen Elizabeth. Offering an observation capsule 300ft above the sea, Royal Caribbean International’s Ovation of the Seas is sure to be a hit. With native sea life emblazoned on the hull, a race track on top deck, and an expansive forward observation lounge, Norwegian Cruise Line is sending its brand new Norwegian Bliss to Alaska.
