Choosing the best Alaska cruise is no easy task. There are many great cruise lines serving Alaska, both large and small, operating both huge cruise liners and small, intimate boats.
On this page, I am concentrating on the best of the large cruise ships, as it is not fair nor even logical to compare the large ships with the smaller ones. Both kinds of ships have their plusses and minuses.
Of the large cruise ship companies, I have rated individual cruises based on itnineraries, quality of the cruise company, shore excursions, and pre- and post- cruise offerings.
Based on these criteria, my top five best cruises for 2007 are:
- Holland America's Glacier Bay Inside Passage Cruise - roundtrip from Vancouver. Visits Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay & Sawyer Glaciers/Tracy Arm. (7 Days)
- Princess's Vancouver to Anchorage Cruise Visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier N.P., and College Fjord. (7 days)
- Royal Caribbean's Seattle to Tracy Arm Fjord Cruise - roundtrip from Seattle. Visits Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, and Prince Rupert. (7 Days)
- Norwegian Cruise Line's Glacier Bay Cruise - roundtrip from Seattle. Visits Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay, and Victoria, B.C. (7 Days)
- Holland America's Alaskan Explorer Cruise - roundtrip from Seattle (Friday departures). Visits Glacier Bay National Park, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria, B.C. (7 Days)
So there you have them, my top 5 best Alaska cruise options for 2007.
Each of these cruises is offered on multiple dates throughout the summer, through September.
And all of them feature the spectacular, breathtaking scenery that makes Alaska cruises so unforgattable.
