Alaska cruise less than 7 nights?

[pb3]

Sadly I don't have time for a full week - is there such a thing as a shorter cruise? Thinking about going in May. Don't mind flying in and out of different cities. Thanks.

No..7 nights really is the shortest. It takes awhile to get there, in the first place..and the 7 nights is hardly time to even begin to experience Alaska.

 

You're in Canada? The shorter cruises leave from Vancouver, I think.

May is early if it is as the other poster said only Ketchikan whats the point.

 

You could look at a Southbound in May fly in to Anchorage and jump ship in Junuea, expensive, but save you 2 days.

Wouldn't that be illegal?

Yep can't take a cruise from Anchorage to Juneau on a foreign ship, as it would violate the PVSA. They could take a cruise that departs from Vancouver and depart the ship mid-cruise, but not vice versa.

I haven't done a check of the various cruise lines but occasionally some of them do have a 4 day trip to Alaska...some that I am thinking of include Princess, Celebrity, and maybe NCL.

Thanks everyone - I'm looking at Carnival Spirit 6 nights departing Vancouver, returning to Seattle (bonus, never been there). Currently in negotiations with hubby - might have to postpone until 2012.
