lucky1ns Posted February 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I’m looking for an Alaskan cruise. Preferably one that sails out of Seattle. I’m looking for different ports than the average usual ones. I’d like to try something different. Anybody have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy planning mom Posted February 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Yeah check out Princess or HAL.. Or Uncruise, or Ocean Victory. Fly to Alaska and explore the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a 14 night tour of Alaska with HAL.We flew to Fairbanks and spent 7 days touring Alaska by bus and train Then we did a 7 night cruise of Alaska.It was a great trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you embark or disembark out of Vancouver, you will have more options. You might get Glacier Bay on another cruise line, but ports are still going to be some of the same.

Preferably one that sails out of Seattle Having done our first Alaska cruise last May roundtrip out of Seattle, I'd look for a cruise that sails the true inside passage that departs Vancouver. Our Seattle roundtrip seemed like a lot of open ocean and not scenic sailing. It was on Princess not Royal, we did get Glacier bay and that was the highlight but our next one for sure will depart Vancouver, and possibly even a back to back and end in Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange jeep Posted February 11, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hi just my two cents…we did Alaska out of Vancouver last June and we will never again fly to or out of Vancouver it was a nightmare. It took a hours to get on ship going in/out customs there and back. However I have not sailed out of Seattle. best of luck, expect long lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time4u2go Posted February 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Princess. Be sure to include staying at their lodges before or after the cruise, and visit Denali. As another poster said, Glacier Bay is amazing. You really shouldn't miss it. Edited February 11, 2023 by time4u2go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
