Cruising Holidays Home > Polar Cruises > Adventure Cruises > Alaska Cruises > Alaska Cruise - Voyage of the Glaciers Northbound
Cruise between the islands of the scenic 'Inside Passage' along the Canadian Coast. Call at the interesting ports of Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway where there is a variety of excursions - float plane flights to the Misty Fjords National Park, whale watching as humpbacks feed in the Alaska summer, or an amazing trip by rail into the heart of the Yukon territory.
This cruise offers one of the best sights in the world - close-up views of many of Alaska's finest glaciers flowing into the sea from the heights of the Alaskan mountains. A day in Glacier Bay with commentary by a Park Ranger includes the amazing Margerie Glacier - two miles wide, with regular cracking noises as large chunks of ice fall off into the sea. The visit to College Fjord adds further glacier sights to complete an unforgettable cruise.
No visit to Alaska should omit a landtour either into the wilderness post-cruise or pre-cruise into the Rocky Mountains. This 'one-way' cruise is the best option to add post-cruise excursions into the Alaska wilderness of the Denali National Park. Get more information on our Alaska Cruise Highlights page or check out the Alaska Landtours section.
