Alaska Cruise Destinations
From gold-rush ports to calving glaciers and the wild interior, here are the places an Alaska cruise brings within reach.
Juneau
Alaska’s capital, reachable only by sea or air — Mendenhall Glacier, whale-watching in Auke Bay, the Mount Roberts tramway and fresh Alaskan seafood.
Ketchikan
The “Salmon Capital” and gateway to Misty Fjords — historic Creek Street on stilts, the world’s largest collection of totem poles, and floatplane adventures.
Skagway
A gold-rush town frozen in time — ride the White Pass & Yukon Route railway over the mountains and walk the Klondike boardwalks.
Glacier Bay, Hubbard & Tracy Arm
The scenic heart of any Alaska cruise — a full day cruising among tidewater glaciers as they calve icebergs into the sea, with rangers or naturalists aboard.
Sitka & Icy Strait Point
Russian-American history and superb wildlife at Sitka; Icy Strait Point near Hoonah for whales, bears and the world’s largest ZipRider.
Denali & the interior (cruisetours)
Add a land tour to one-way Gulf sailings — the Denali wilderness, Talkeetna and the Alaska Railroad, for Mt. Denali, moose, caribou and grizzlies.
