Alaska Cruises

Highlights of Alaska cruises

When you set off on this sea journey, you will see:

1. the northwestern part of America.
2. the Bering Strait that separates this state from Russian Chukotka.
3. the scenic Aleutian Islands, Kodiak, the Alexander Archipelago, etc.
4. a territory washed by 2 oceans at once: the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
5. a harsh winter, a fairly warm summer, or a situational spring/autumn.
6. a dive into the mines where real gold was mined.
7. stunning landscapes: tall granite cliffs, mountain lakes, waterfalls, oceans, and the captivating beauty of protected areas.
8. the most interesting representatives of American wildlife: grizzly bears, caribou, moose, etc.

But this is only part of what lies behind the exciting Alaska cruises.

When is the best time to go on an Alaska sea cruise?

The region has a cold and harsh climate. If you’re planning to sail here from Ukraine to bask in the sun, you will be disappointed. The Juneau area has a maritime climate, while the northern part of the state is Arctic, with long, freezing winters. No matter when you go, you won’t be able to do without warm clothing.

The best time to buy an Alaska cruise is the three warmest months of summer: June, July, and August. At that time, Alaska welcomes guests with gentle sunshine and fairly warm air. In summer, the temperature usually doesn’t rise above 18°C.

What interesting sights can you see on an Alaska cruise?

This North American state includes both a picturesque coastline and many islands with attractive scenery: Kodiak, Attu, Agattu, the Alexander Archipelago, and many others. Alaska’s territory is washed by the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean; on a cruise, if it’s included in the itinerary, you will sail through both at once.

What Alaska may remember for you:

• a tourist hub — the city of Juneau;
• traces of history, including landmarks related to the work of gold prospectors from the Gold Rush era;
• Ketchikan — an old place where an indigenous settlement was located relatively recently;
• Niagara Falls and other Canadian attractions;
• the largest city in the state, called Anchorage, where you can stroll through local restaurants, try the signature venison steak, and visit the Chugach countryside park;
• historic monuments, museums, and works of art preserved from the time of the indigenous peoples who lived in this region;
• beautiful nature: waterfalls, granite cliffs, Hubbard and other glaciers, mountain lakes, and views of the «Misty Fjords» reserve;
• a combination of modern infrastructure with historic sights.

What you will see depends on the selected itinerary, so it’s best to check the travel details in advance. You can get all the necessary information from the Cruise-Life managers.

Choosing a cruise company and ship for Alaska

You can choose the optimal route for your trip and the cruise ship with the company Cruise-Life. The website provides detailed information on prices, cabins, travel duration, and destinations. Build your route via Vancouver, Seattle, Skagway, Seward, and other cities you like. Visit forests, mountains, a national park, the coastline, and little-known natural beauties far from the noise and everyday worries – everything that you’ll enjoy.

The first thing that will impress you during the cruise is the scale of the ship on which your sea journey will take place. It has cabins that offer less comfort than hotel rooms of 4-5 star level. The cruise ship will also amaze you with the variety of onboard entertainment: restaurants, swimming pools, shopping centers with top brands, sports facilities, and venues for events.

Criteria for choosing a cruise company:

• a trip of the right format: a romantic journey, a guide for one, family vacations with children, etc.;
• a suitable itinerary;
• the availability of ships at an optimal level, including the right entertainment and cabins of the appropriate class: standard, suite, premium;
• ticket price;
• a Ukrainian-speaking representative (if there is a language barrier);
• positive reviews from people you trust.
