Alaska Cruise - Seven-Day Cruise
Seven-Day Cruise

Duration: Seven days
Available: Daily, except Tuesday

There remain few places on earth where you can truly breathe - where space is measured not in feet or miles, but in endless horizons. A place where nature is so powerful, so dramatic, a personal encounter can change you forever. Thrill to white thunder in Glacier Bay, marvel at sunlight at midnight and close-ups of whales, eagles and caribou. Delight in Mt. McKinley's majesty and meadows carpeted with wildflowers. Amid unsurpassed grandeur and serenity, the true wilderness of Denali is calling.

Overview:
The Port of Vancouver is homeport annually from May through September for the Vancouver-Alaska cruise; one of the world's most popular cruises via two cruise terminals, Canada Place and Ballantyne. Some of the most luxurious and largest ships afloat sail from Vancouver to Alaska where passengers experience the natural beauty of the glaciers, mountains, wildlife, and culture of America's last frontier. Vancouver is ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, serving as an excellent place to start or end a cruise.
