Alaska Cruises from Seattle

Experience the great land on a 7-day alaska inside passage cruise from seattle.

Follow in the footsteps of the Yukon Gold Rush on an Alaska cruise from Seattle to some of the world’s most scenic wonders. With convenient weekend departures and proximity to the Great Land, a cruise to Alaska from Seattle allows you to leave when you want, and spend less time getting there.

Alaska Inside Passage Cruise Ports

When you cruise to Alaska from Seattle, encounter unique ports of call that are rich in history, culture and natural beauty.

• Endicott Arm
• Glacier Bay National Park
• Victoria, B.C.

Endicott Arm is a jewel in Alaska’s crown. This 30-mile waterway is surrounded by cliffs, valleys and dozens of waterfalls. Icebergs and harbor seals decorate the water below while Dawes Glacier soars into the sky above. Revel in the beauty of Mother Nature’s masterpiece and listen closely as the scenery whispers secrets of times long ago during your cruise to Alaska.

When you cruise to Alaska with Princess, sail through one of the most iconic locations in the Great Land — Glacier Bay National Park. Listen to Margerie Glacier’s signature crack and boom rumble across the waves. Bring binoculars and scan both the shore and the waves for wildlife like brown bears and migrating whales while Park Rangers teach you the history and geology of the park.

Juneau is unlike any other city in the United States. With no roads connecting it to the rest of Alaska or North America, it is truly a protected destination. Founded as a gold mining town and now the state’s capital, Juneau has one foot in history and one in the future. Embark on a whale watching tour, or sail past Mendenhall Glacier on an Alaska cruise.

Known for its timber, Ketchikan hosts the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, where athletes throw, race and chop their way to victory. Explore one of the world’s oldest collection of totem poles at the Totem Pole Heritage Center, or stroll along Creek Street. As the salmon capital of the world, Ketchikan’s waters make for incredible fishing. Cast your rod into a sea of opportunity on a cruise to Alaska.

Seattle is known as "The Emerald City" thanks to its green forests and lush surroundings. Pike Place Market buzzes with merchants while coffee shops house locals drinking espresso in America's coffee capital. Climb the Space Needle and enjoy the Seattle skyline, or explore the history of Pioneer Square, the city's oldest neighborhood — only when you cruise to Alaska from Seattle.

Once the gateway to Alaska's Gold Rush, Skagway strikes a dramatic image nestled between the water's edge and mountains. Follow in the footsteps of miners with a ride on a scenic train along the famous White Pass route through coastal mountains. During your Alaska cruise, explore the Yukon's pristine wilderness, pan for gold with professionals or meet sled dog puppies in training.

At first glance many mistake Victoria for an English coastal city or northern European town. Full of greenery, pubs and Victorian architecture, it's difficult to believe that this was a tent city full of rough and tumble miners just 150 years ago. On a cruise to Alaska, explore the Butchart Gardens, tour the pub scene and taste some of the local brews or sail the bay for a whale-watching adventure.

Wrangell is a charming and scenic harbor known for its local fishing industry. It is not as bustling as larger ports in Alaska and maintains its historic charm and offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Explore its historic downtown and learn about the local culture and Native heritage while in Wrangell.

Alaska Cruise Experience

We have a 50-year legacy of sharing the best places and experiences with our guests. On an Alaska cruise, unpack once and explore glaciers, wildlife and national parks.

Alaska Glaciers

One of the biggest reasons people visit

Glaciers feel alive. They groan, creak and shudder on their march to the sea, punctuated by the booms and crashes of "white thunder" — a sound that echoes across the water when ice calves into the ocean below. On an Alaska cruise, let us show you Glacier Bay National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier, College Fjord or Hubbard Glacier.

Alaska Wildlife

Untamed, just like Alaska

Alaska is home to a rich array of wildlife, from the famous Big Five animals that live in Denali National Park — grizzly bears, wolves, moose, Dall sheep and caribou — to bald eagles and humpback whales that migrate through the Inside Passage. On a cruise to Alaska, live a nature lover's dream in the land where guests can catch postcard-worthy sights.

Alaska Mountains & National Parks

National treasures

With national parks and four of North America’s tallest mountains, Alaska’s wilderness has been preserved for generations. Denali National Park is larger than Vermont and home to the highest peak on the continent. Meanwhile, Glacier Bay National Park has over 2,000 square miles of glacial coverage. Along with Wrangell-St. Elias and Kenai Fjords, a world of natural wonders awaits on an Alaska cruise or cruisetour.

Alaska excursions

Don't just visit this famous land, live it on Alaska excursions. Rush across the snow on a dog sled with a professional musher, fly fish for salmon in fresh rivers and soar over miles of glacial tundra in a helicopter. Watch migrating humpback whales from the deck of a catamaran or Native craftsman carve a traditional totem pole, and expand your Alaska cruise experience.

Alaska Cruise Onboard Experience

Our award-winning North to Alaska program brings local personalities, culture and cuisine on board and ashore to immerse you in all things Alaska during your cruise to the Great Land.

Alaska Seafood

Fresh and bountiful, like Alaska itself

Alaska's seafood is famous, and we bring the best to you with locally inspired dishes from the state’s best eateries. With Cook My Catch excursions, catch your own salmon or halibut with the help of a local expert, and in the evening our talented chefs will prepare your haul for your dinner — a Princess exclusive. From ship to shore, the best is at your fingertips on our Alaska cruises.

Meet Local Alaskans

Real Alaska from local Alaskans

Alaskans are inviting people who love to share what makes their state unique. Watch lumberjacks in action, learn from Glacier Bay National Park rangers and craft with a Native totem pole carver. Or listen to harrowing Tales from the Deadliest Catch fishermen and climbers who have summited Denali during your Alaska cruise.

Unique Alaska Cruise Experiences

Great experiences from the great land

Travel back in time and pan for gold like a prospector during the Gold Rush or see the Northern Lights in the planetarium. At the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, explore our treehouse and enjoy unmatched views of Denali. Or savor tree-inspired bites at our very own Sappy Hour. Dive deeper into what makes the Great Land special on your cruise to Alaska.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cruises in September: Your Ultimate Planning Guide!

September beckons with a promise of serenity on the seas. As the summer rush ebbs, the cruise world reveals quieter decks, enchanting destinations, and deals that are hard to resist.

Our comprehensive guide is tailored to help you navigate the best of what all-inclusive cruises in September have to offer. Dive in and let the planning begin!

Why Choose September for Cruising?

September, often overlooked by the masses, emerges as a hidden gem in the cruise calendar.

So, why should you consider cruises in September as your ideal vacation choice? Let’s set sail into the compelling reasons.

Less Crowded

One of the primary benefits of cruises in September is the relative tranquility.

As families have wrapped up their summer vacations and children are back in school, cruise ships often witness fewer passengers. This means more space for you by the pool, shorter lines at the buffet, and an overall more intimate experience.

Affordability

Cruises in September frequently offer some of the best deals. With the peak summer rush over, cruise lines tend to lower their prices to entice travelers.

Not only do you benefit from promotional fares, but you might also find deals on shore excursions, on-board amenities, and cabin upgrades.

Mild and Pleasant Weather

The weather during September can be delightful in many cruise destinations. While it’s the onset of autumn in many parts of the world, bringing with it a fresh and mild climate, other regions still bask in the warmth of late summer.

This blend offers a diverse range of experiences, whether you’re hoping to catch the last summer rays or welcome the crispness of fall.

Potential Weather Caveats

However, it’s worth noting that cruises in September might also coincide with certain regions’ hurricane or rainy seasons.

While cruise lines are adept at navigating these challenges, it’s essential to be informed and prepared. Later in this guide, we’ll delve deeper into weather considerations for specific destinations.

As you embark on the journey of considering cruises in September, keep these advantages in mind. The blend of affordability, pleasant weather, and fewer crowds makes September a month ripe for cruising adventures.

The Climate Factor: What to Expect

When considering cruises in September, understanding the climate of your chosen destination is crucial.

After all, the weather plays a significant role in shaping your cruise experience, from the activities you’ll engage in to the attire you’ll pack. Let’s voyage through the climates of popular cruising regions in September.

Cruises in September to the Caribbean offer warm tropical climates with temperatures hovering between 75°F and 90°F.

Hurricane Season Considerations

However, it’s essential to know that September is deep within the Caribbean’s hurricane season.

While cruise ships are equipped with advanced meteorological tools and can often reroute to ensure passenger safety, it’s a good idea to be prepared for potential itinerary changes.

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean, with its azure waters, is a favorite for cruises in September. Expect temperatures between 70°F and 85°F.

Whether you’re exploring the Greek Isles or the Italian coast, the weather is generally warm, allowing for beach outings and outdoor explorations.

If you’re venturing north to the icy wonders of Alaska, cruises in September can be a bit cooler with temperatures ranging from 40°F to 60°F. This month marks the tail end of the Alaskan cruise season .

While the days start getting shorter, the crisp air and changing foliage create a magical backdrop.

Baltic & Northern Europe

Cruising in the Baltic and Northern European regions in September means welcoming the onset of autumn.

Temperatures can vary from 50°F to 65°F. While it’s cooler, the landscapes draped in autumn hues, from amber to gold, make it a visual treat.

Asia, with its vastness, presents varied climates. Cruises in September, especially in regions like Japan, witness the vibrant autumn foliage.

However, Southeast Asia may experience monsoon rains. Always check specific countries’ forecasts, as the climate can differ significantly.

South Pacific and Australia

September is springtime in the Southern Hemisphere, making it a lovely time for cruises in the South Pacific and Australia.

Temperatures are comfortable, ranging from 60°F to 75°F, and the blooming flora adds charm to the scenic beauty.

Packing Tips for Different Weather Scenarios

• Tropical Destinations: Lightweight clothing, swimwear, sun hats, sunscreen, and rain ponchos.
• Cooler Climates: Layered clothing, light jackets, scarves, and comfortable walking shoes.
• Rainy Regions: Waterproof jackets, umbrellas, and moisture-wicking attire.

Being aware of the climate nuances for cruises in September ensures you’re not only packed right but also ready to embrace the weather’s highs and lows with enthusiasm.

Whatever the climate, each region offers its unique allure, making September cruising a delightful experience.

As you contemplate cruises in September, understanding where to find the best promotions and what to expect can be a game-changer for your travel budget.

Tips on Finding the Best Cruise Deals for September

• Utilize Cruise Deal Websites: Platforms like Cruise Critic, Vacations To Go, and Cruise Direct regularly update deals and promotional offers.
• Travel Agent Insights: Experienced travel agents have insider knowledge and might be privy to exclusive promotions not available to the general public.
• Cruise Line Loyalty Programs: If you’ve cruised with a particular line before, joining their loyalty program can offer discounts, onboard credit, or even complimentary upgrades.
• Off-Peak Travel: Remember, September falls just outside of the peak summer months. This off-peak period inherently brings with it promotional incentives.

Booking in Advance vs. Last-Minute Cruises: Pros and Cons

• Pros: Better cabin selection, peace of mind, and sometimes lower prices.
• Cons: Requires early commitment, and if prices drop closer to the sailing date, you might miss out.
• Pros: Can offer deep discounts and are ideal for flexible travelers.
• Cons: Limited cabin choices, might not cater to specific preferences, and can be risky if ships fill up.

Highlighted Cruise Lines and Their Promotions

While deals can vary based on various factors, here’s a glimpse of what some popular cruise lines might offer during September:

• Royal Caribbean : Often promotes “BOGO” deals—where the second guest sails for a significantly reduced rate. Look out for onboard credit offers too.
• Carnival Cruise Line : “Early Saver” rates can be a boon for those booking in advance. Additionally, they sometimes offer reduced deposits and room upgrades.
• Norwegian Cruise Line : “Free at Sea” promotions are quite popular, giving guests the option to choose from perks like free specialty dining, shore excursion credits, or complimentary Wi-Fi.

Preparing for Your September Cruise

As September approaches, and the excitement for your cruise vacation mounts, thorough preparation becomes paramount.

To ensure a smooth voyage and an enriching experience on your cruises in September, let’s dive into a checklist of things to consider before you embark.

Packing Essentials Specific to September Cruises

Depending on your destination, the transitional month of September may require a diverse wardrobe and other essentials. Here’s a guideline to ensure you’re well-prepared:

• Layered Clothing: Even if you’re headed to a warmer climate, evenings on the open sea can get chilly. Bring lightweight jackets or cardigans.
• Rain Gear: A compact umbrella or rain poncho can be a lifesaver, especially in regions prone to showers in September.
• Footwear: Apart from stylish evening wear shoes, consider packing comfortable walking shoes for excursions and sandals for beach destinations.

Important Documents and Paperwork

Nothing dampens the cruise excitement like forgotten documents. Ensure you have:

• Passport : Make sure it’s valid for at least six months beyond your return date.
• Visas: Depending on your cruise destinations, you may need visas. Check in advance.
• Cruise Tickets and Boarding Passes: Usually provided by the cruise line, either mailed or available digitally.
• Travel Insurance Documents: Always a good idea to have a copy on hand.

Health and Travel Insurance Considerations

• Travel Insurance: It’s especially vital for cruises in September, given the potential for weather disruptions in certain regions. Ensure it covers trip cancellations or interruptions.
• Medical Insurance: While many travel insurance policies include medical coverage, it’s wise to check specifics, especially if you have pre-existing conditions.
• Vaccination and Health Precautions: Depending on your destinations, you might need specific vaccinations. Also, always pack any personal medications with their original prescription.

Potential Travel Restrictions or Guidelines to be Aware of

With the world dynamically evolving, it’s essential to stay updated on any potential travel restrictions or guidelines:

• COVID-19 Protocols: Even if the pandemic’s peak has passed, cruise lines might still have specific health and safety protocols. These could include testing, vaccination requirements, or onboard guidelines.
• Port Entry Restrictions: Some destinations might have specific entry requirements or restrictions based on global health concerns.
• Onboard Health and Safety Guidelines: Cruise lines often update their health and safety guidelines. Familiarize yourself with these to ensure a hassle-free journey.

Preparation is the foundation of a memorable cruise experience. As you gear up for your cruises in September, taking the time to ensure every box is ticked will pave the way for a journey where the only surprises are the delightful experiences awaiting you at each port of call .

On-Board Activities and Entertainment

Cruises are celebrated not just for the allure of the ocean and the enchantment of diverse ports, but also for the cornucopia of activities and entertainment offered on board.

Especially for cruises in September, when ships might be a tad less crowded, there’s a wealth of experiences waiting for you. Let’s explore what you can expect.

Overview of Typical On-Board Activities

Whether it’s your first cruise or your tenth, certain activities have become staples due to their universal appeal:

• Spa Treatments: From massages to facials, the onboard spa offers a sanctuary of relaxation.
• Fitness Centers and Classes: Stay active with state-of-the-art gym facilities and classes ranging from yoga to aerobics.
• Culinary Workshops: Dive into the world of gourmet cuisine, often led by expert chefs on board.
• Art Auctions: A unique cruise experience, discover and bid on beautiful artworks.
• Pools and Hot Tubs: Bask under the sun or stars, with a cocktail in hand, as you lounge by the pool.

Special Events or Themes Common in September Cruises

Cruises in September sometimes come with seasonal themes or events that make the voyage extra special:

• Autumn Festivities: As the Northern Hemisphere ushers in fall, expect themed events, from autumnal decorations to specialized menus.
• Wine Tasting Events: September is a grape harvest month in many regions, making it a prime time for wine-centric events on board.
• Educational Lectures: Geared towards off-peak adult travelers, some cruises in September might offer enriching talks on topics like history, culture, or astronomy.
• Film Festivals: Cozy up under the stars for outdoor movie nights featuring classics and new releases.

Tips on Making the Most of Your On-Board Experience

• Plan Ahead: While spontaneity has its charms, some activities, especially those with limited slots, might require prior booking.
• Daily Newsletters: Most cruise lines provide a daily schedule. Make it your morning read to ensure you don’t miss out on any activities.
• Dress Codes: While cruises have become more relaxed in their attire guidelines, certain events or dining venues might have specific dress codes. It’s always a good idea to pack a mix of casual and formal wear.
• Engage with the Crew: Your ship’s crew is a treasure trove of information. Engaging with them can offer insights into lesser-known activities or events on board.

While the allure of destinations and excursions is undeniable, the heart of cruises in September often beats on board.

With a mix of relaxation, entertainment, learning, and celebration, your time on the ship promises to be as enriching as your explorations on land.

Whether you’re dancing the night away, indulging in gourmet feasts, or simply gazing at the endless horizon, onboard moments are the ones that often linger in cherished memories.

Tips for Traveling with Kids and Families in September

Cruising with the family can be an enriching experience filled with bonding moments and shared adventures.

However, when considering cruises in September, which often coincides with the school year, there are unique considerations and challenges to address. Let’s chart a course for a smooth and memorable family cruise during this month.

Balancing School Schedules and Cruise Vacations

September usually marks the commencement of a new academic year, and this means:

• Communicate with Schools: If you’re considering taking your children out of school, it’s essential to communicate with their teachers or administrators in advance.
• Educational Opportunities Onboard: Many cruise lines offer educational workshops or kids’ clubs with learning activities. These can supplement schoolwork while on vacation.

Kid-Friendly Activities and Excursions

• Onboard Kids’ Clubs: Most cruise lines offer age-specific kids’ clubs, from toddler groups to teen hangouts, ensuring entertainment tailored for all age groups.
• Family Pools and Play Zones: Look out for family-friendly pools, waterslides, and play zones onboard.
• Shore Excursions: When booking excursions, consider family-friendly options like beach days, aquarium visits, or nature walks.
• Interactive Workshops: Some cruises in September might offer workshops like cookie decorating, magic shows, or marine life education sessions.

Family Discounts and Promotions

• Kids Sail Free: Certain cruise lines offer promotions where kids sail for free or at a significantly reduced rate.
• Group Booking Discounts: If you’re traveling with extended family, group discounts might be available.
• Onboard Credits: Some promotions offer onboard credits that can be utilized for family activities, dining, or shore excursions.

Essential Packing for Families

• Kids Essentials: Don’t forget to pack items like baby formula, diapers, kids’ medications, and favorite snacks.
• Entertainment: Portable games, coloring books, and devices loaded with movies can be lifesavers, especially during sea days.
• Clothing: Remember to pack a mix of casual wear, swimwear, and formal wear for kids , especially if your cruise has dress-up nights or themed events.

Safety First

• Cabin Safety: Ensure your cabin is child-proof, especially if you have toddlers. This might include checking balcony doors or sharp furniture edges.
• Wristbands and Identification: Have your children wear wristbands with essential contact information in case they wander off.
• Safety Drills: Familiarize your family with the ship’s safety procedures, and ensure your kids know where to go and what to do in emergencies.

Embarking on cruises in September with your family might require a tad more planning and consideration, but the rewards are immense.

The blend of shared adventures, onboard entertainment tailored for all ages, and the sheer joy of family bonding in the middle of the ocean promises memories that you’ll cherish for years to come.

With the right preparation, your September family cruise can be smooth sailing from start to finish.

Potential Drawbacks and How to Navigate Them

While cruises in September offer a plethora of benefits, like any travel experience, there are potential hiccups to consider.

By being aware of these potential drawbacks and preparing for them, you can ensure that your cruise remains smooth sailing. Let’s delve into some challenges and strategies to overcome them.

Weather Uncertainties

Drawback: September can be unpredictable in terms of weather for many cruise destinations. From the hurricane season in the Caribbean to occasional rains in parts of Asia, the weather can throw a wrench in your plans.

Navigation Tips:

• Stay Informed: Check weather forecasts regularly leading up to your trip and during your cruise.
• Flexibility with Itinerary: Understand that cruise lines might change itineraries to ensure passenger safety. Embrace the new routes or destinations with an open mind.
• Pack Accordingly: Ensure you have gear for unexpected weather, like rain ponchos or warmer clothing.

Fewer On-Board and Shore Excursion Options

Drawback: Given that September is an off-peak season for some destinations, there might be fewer on-board activities or shore excursions available.

• Research in Advance: Check with your cruise line about available activities and excursions during your September cruise.
• DIY Excursions: If certain shore excursions aren’t available, consider exploring ports on your own or booking with local tour operators.
• Maximize Onboard Amenities: Use this opportunity to explore lesser-used amenities on the ship, like the spa, reading rooms, or specialty restaurants.

School Schedules for Families

Drawback: For families with school-going children, September can pose challenges due to school schedules.

• Coordinate with Schools: If you’re considering a cruise, liaise with your child’s school in advance for any assignments or material they might miss.
• Educational Opportunities: Turn the cruise into a learning experience. Explore cultural, historical, or natural aspects of your destinations and relate them to your child’s curriculum.

Potential for Overbooked Ships

Drawback: While September is off-peak for some destinations, it might be peak season for others, leading to crowded ships.

• Book in Advance: Secure your spot early, especially if you have specific cabin preferences or need adjoining rooms for families.
• Off-Peak Excursions: If the ship feels crowded, consider disembarking during popular shore excursion times to enjoy quieter onboard amenities.

While these drawbacks might seem daunting, it’s worth remembering that challenges are inherent to any travel experience.

The beauty lies in navigating them effectively. With a bit of foresight, flexibility, and preparation, cruises in September can offer an enriching and memorable voyage, where the few challenges faced only enhance the overall adventure.

September’s embrace offers travelers a unique cruise experience, blending the remnants of summer’s warmth with the anticipatory charm of fall. While the month presents certain challenges, it equally unveils opportunities for memorable adventures, unbeatable deals, and serene seas.

Whether you’re drawn to the azure waters of the Mediterranean, the cultural tapestry of Asia, or the autumnal beauty of Alaska, cruises in September promise a voyage that resonates with your wanderlust spirit.

As the ship sails towards the horizon, with a golden September sunset as its backdrop, you’ll find that this month, often overlooked, holds treasures waiting to be discovered. Safe travels!

FAQs on Cruises in September

Cruises in September present unique offerings, and naturally, they come with a slew of questions from curious travelers.

Let’s address some of the most frequently asked questions to ensure you’re well-informed for your September cruise adventure.

1. Is September a good month for cruising?

Answer: Absolutely! While the experience can vary based on the destination, September often offers milder weather, fewer crowds, and competitive prices. However, it’s essential to be aware of region-specific weather patterns, like the hurricane season in the Caribbean.

2. Which cruise destinations are best in September?

Answer: The Mediterranean is a top choice, with its pleasant climate and calm seas. Alaska, nearing the end of its cruise season, offers unique autumnal beauty. Parts of Asia, like Japan, start showcasing early autumn foliage, making it a visual treat.

3. Are there any health and safety concerns for cruises in September?

Answer: Standard cruise health protocols apply. However, given the ongoing global health scenario, some cruises might still have COVID-19 precautions in place. It’s always a good idea to check with your cruise line for any specific guidelines.

4. Do cruises in September offer discounts?

Answer: Yes! Since September falls outside the peak summer months for many destinations, cruise lines often provide attractive promotions and discounts to entice travelers.

5. What should I pack for a September cruise?

Answer: Packing will depend on your destination. For tropical places, think light clothing and swimwear. For cooler regions, pack layers. Given September’s unpredictable weather in some areas, rain gear and versatile clothing are recommended.

6. How do I handle school schedules when cruising with kids in September?

Answer: Communication is key. Discuss your plans with your child’s school in advance. Some parents align their cruise with scheduled school breaks, while others opt for educational experiences on the cruise to complement missed schoolwork.

7. Can I expect fewer onboard activities during September cruises?

Answer: Not necessarily. While some activities might be seasonal, cruise lines ensure a plethora of entertainment options year-round. However, always check in advance with your cruise line.

8. Are there any specific travel restrictions for cruises in September?

Answer: Travel restrictions can vary based on global events or health scenarios. Always check with both your cruise line and the destinations you’ll be visiting for up-to-date information.

9. Are September cruises more susceptible to cancellations due to weather?

Answer: While certain regions, like the Caribbean, experience hurricane season in September, modern cruise ships are equipped with advanced meteorological tools. They can reroute to avoid storms, ensuring passenger safety. Cancellations are rare but can happen, so it’s advisable to have travel insurance.

10. How early should I book my September cruise to get the best deals?

Answer: While last-minute deals can be enticing, booking several months in advance often provides a wider choice of cabins and potentially better rates. Keep an eye out for promotions starting in the spring.

11. Are there any specific cruises or cruise lines best suited for September?

Answer: Most major cruise lines operate in September. Depending on your desired experience—luxury, family-friendly, exploration-focused—you might consider lines like Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, or smaller expedition cruise operators.

12. Can I expect the same dining options onboard during September cruises?

Answer: Absolutely! Cruise lines pride themselves on their culinary offerings. While you can expect seasonal menu changes to reflect fresh produce, the range and quality of dining options remain consistent.

13. Are medical facilities available onboard in case of emergencies?

Answer: Yes, modern cruise ships are equipped with medical facilities and have trained medical staff onboard to handle emergencies. However, for more severe cases, medevac arrangements might be made to the nearest land-based hospital.

14. Do I need to consider specific vaccinations for cruises in September?

Answer: It depends on your destinations. Some regions may require certain vaccinations. Always check with health advisories or consult your doctor before your trip.

15. How can I stay connected with family while on a September cruise?

Answer: Most cruise ships offer Wi-Fi packages, though connectivity might vary based on the ship’s location. Some cruise lines also have dedicated apps that allow onboard texting or calling. If staying connected is essential, consider purchasing a Wi-Fi package or check with your mobile provider about international roaming.

6 Top Luxury Alaska Cruises for 2024 & Beyond

C ruising to Alaska on a small luxury ship affords a very different experience than sailing through The Great Land on a larger vessel. On a smaller luxury ship, you'll enjoy the expected perks like fewer passengers and more personalized service – but you'll also physically get closer to the boundless wilderness, abundant wildlife, icy blue glaciers and majestic snow-capped mountains that you've waited a lifetime to see.

While the fares to sail on such vessels are quite a bit higher than those of larger cruise providers, the all-inclusive (or mostly all-inclusive) prices typically include all-suite accommodations with balconies, all meals, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, 24-hour room service, Wi-Fi access, gratuities, welcome bottles of sparkling wine, pillow selection, some shore excursions and butler service. Best of all, you won't feel like you're being nickel-and-dimed while on board. As a special touch, the attentive crew members may even learn your name and memorize your preferred pre-dinner cocktail.

Unlike many mainstream lines, most luxury Alaska cruises do not offer pre- and post-cruise tours to extend your adventure. However, you can plan these experiences on your own through third-party providers.

Alaska Tour & Travel has pre-cruise packages that include visits to Denali National Park & Preserve and the small, quirky Alaska towns of Homer and Talkeetna. You can also see a different side of Alaska via a train ride on the Alaska Railroad, take a national parks tour that includes Kenai Fjords National Park or head northbound to Fairbanks , one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights (if you visit during aurora season, from late August to late April). In addition, the company can plan a self-drive tour from Anchorage to Seward, which includes a stay at a wilderness lodge, helicopter flightseeing over Knik Glacier and guided tours in the parks.

The following luxury cruise lines will ensure you make the most of your voyage in Alaska – one of the most magical destinations on Earth.

Silversea Cruises

Silversea Cruises' small luxury ships are designed for adventurers interested in visiting a mix of Alaska's top ports and more rugged, off-the-beaten-track locales. Extended itineraries offer stops in less-visited destinations like the towns of Haines and Wrangell. On board, guests can expect a personalized experience that includes luxurious ocean-view suites with butler service, multiple gourmet dining options, complimentary alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, and attentive service with one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the industry.

Base fares for Silversea's 2024 and 2025 Alaska itineraries start at $3,250 per person. If you upgrade to Silversea 's door-to-door fare (which starts at $5,200 per person), you'll receive private chauffeur service from your home to the airport (and back home upon your return) and round-trip flights, with business class upgrades in some destinations.

Silversea also offers immersive pre- and post-cruise land experiences, departing from Seward, Alaska. Highlights include sightseeing flights over Denali National Park & Preserve or into bear country to see Alaska's magnificent grizzly bears. In Vancouver, travelers can take a flightseeing transfer to Victoria to tour the 55-acre Butchart Gardens or board the Rocky Mountaineer for a two-day train ride through the Canadian Rockies.

Silversea's Alaska itineraries extend from May to September, with voyages ranging between seven and 16 days.

For a seven-day itinerary, consider a sailing from Seward, Alaska, to Vancouver, British Columbia. This voyage cruises the Hubbard Glacier and the Inside Passage and stops in the Alaska towns of Juneau, Skagway, Sitka and Ketchikan. Complimentary excursions in Ketchikan include a tour of Saxman Native Village; a visit to Bonfire Bay Oyster Farm, featuring a sea-to-table oyster tasting; the Alaskan Cultural, Culinary & Lumberjack show; the Alaskan Lodge Adventure & Seafeast and a day as a fisherman aboard the Aleutian Ballard, as seen on Discovery Channel's "The Deadliest Catch."

Celebrity cruises first-ever edge series alaska itineraries set sail.

Celebrity Cruises elevates bucket list experiences on Celebrity Edge whilst energizing communities with impact projects in Alaska

MIAMI , May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time ever, Celebrity Edge® , the ship that introduced the revolutionary outward-facing design, calls Alaska home for the summer. Today, Celebrity Edge will embark on her maiden sailing roundtrip from Seattle on a seven-night Dawes Glacier itinerary with stops in Juneau , Ketchikan , and Skagway . Through its unique outward facing design, Celebrity Edge will offer guests an unmatched immersive experience as they take in the awe-inspiring Alaskan glaciers.

"There's no better way to see the pristine Alaskan wilderness than onboard Celebrity Edge , which was specifically designed to create a closer connection between guests and destinations," said Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises. "Our elevated vacation options are redefining travel, especially in this region."

From May through September 2024 , guests can indulge in the breathtaking views of Alaska from the comfort of an Edge Series ship. The iconic Magic Carpet ® – the world's first cantilevered, floating platform, at sea – sits on the edge of the ship, creating a new way to dine, drink and connect with the destination, or watch for whales and eagles as you wake up in one of the Infinite Veranda® staterooms as the boundaries between inside and outside are erased.

Celebrity Edge will sail roundtrip from Seattle and one-way between Vancouver to Seattle on six- and seven-night journeys. Itineraries include visits to the region's top spots, with experiences in Ketchikan also known as the "Salmon Capital of the World," the Endicott Arm to spot the local wildlife including brown bears, bald eagles, sea ducks, deer, moose, and wolves, Alaska's capital Juneau and Skagway before heading to Victoria through the Inside Passage and then returning to Seattle .

Some of the features guests of Celebrity Edge can indulge in include:

Transformational accommodations, from modern two-story Edge Villas with plunge pools to staterooms with Infinite Verandas. Blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, the Infinite Veranda takes you right to the water's edge, giving guests open air access to the sea with the touch of a button.

The Retreat, exclusive to all suite guests, with its private restaurant, and exclusive lounge and sundeck. In addition, a dedicated team of butlers, attendants, and concierges on-hand 24/7, ensures everything is taken care of while on vacation.

An unrivalled culinary repertoire of 29 distinct restaurants, bars, and lounges connecting guests to the destinations they will visit like never before. Globally inspired menus crafted by a Michelin-star chef bring the flavors of the world straight to the plate, providing an epicurean journey unmatched at sea.

Unique spaces unlike anything else at sea, including The Magic Carpet - the world's first cantilevered, floating platform, soaring above the sea - and Eden - three levels of sensory experiences wrapped in glass, both offer a mix of culinary and entertainment options with panoramic views.

Multi-use, transformative spaces to gather, such as The Grand Plaza offering a majestic, open, three-story venue inspired by the piazzas of Italy and housing incredible specialty restaurants, the popular Martini Bar, Cafe al Bacio, and the new Grand Plaza Cafe.

Celebrity's award-winning ships, Celebrity Edge , Celebrity Summit® and Celebrity Solstice® , will offer 57 sailings and an array of six- to seven-night itineraries from May to September 2024 .

Community Impact

Celebrity Cruises, as part of Royal Caribbean Group, engages port communities across Alaska through its Sea the Future commitment to sustain the planet, energize communities and accelerate innovation while delivering the best vacations responsibly.  Key initiatives include:

Grand Opening - Ketchikan Salmon Walk: In partnership with the Tongass Historical Museum, the Ketchikan Salmon Walk recently opened this summer, offering vacationers a unique opportunity to delve into the tale of the salmon migration and life cycle in Ketchikan Creek. The nearly two-mile walk is equipped with upgraded lighting and pavement, as well as engaging placards with art by renowned artists like Ray Troll , Nathan Jackson and Marvin Oliver .

A taste of Alaska through local sourcing: Committed to fostering relationships with Alaska businesses, guests are offered access to a variety of Alaska -owned products, retailers, excursions, and experiences. Established partnerships with Skagway Spirits, Seafood Producers Cooperative and Alaska Specialty Seafood, sourcing fresh seafood and other local items across its brands. These local partnerships highlight the group's dedication to connecting with local cultures and supporting economic vibrancy while creating an authentic Alaska experience for guests.

Renewed Commitment - Sitka Sound Science Center: The Sitka Sound Science Center's Scientists in the Schools (SIS) program enables local scientists to partner with students in K-12 classrooms to explore science and ecosystems. This initiative aims to foster a passion and appreciation for science and nature among Sitka's youth while creating a meaningful educational experience. The program incorporates classroom visits from scientists into the curriculum at each grade level in Sitka schools, creating a pipeline of scientific experiences during the entire academic career of Sitka's K-12 students. The program benefited 960 students from nine schools last year with the support of the cruise company.

"Locals Onboard" – Voyij.com Partnership: Over the past three cruising seasons, the partnership with Skagway -based Voyij.com has driven more than $1 million in sales to local businesses in Alaska . The two teamed up in 2021 to help connect ship guests to the online marketplace where Alaska businesses, retailers and artists sell their crafts. More than 250 small businesses and artists across more than 45 communities from all regions of the state are listed on Voyij.com.

“As we look forward to the launch of Ilma, our commitment to expanding our superyacht fleet reinforces our vision of ultra-luxury hospitality at sea,” Jim Murren, executive chairman and CEO of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, said in a statement. “Ilma has been meticulously crafted to enliven the senses and elevate every aspect of our guests’ journey.”

Named after the Maltese word for “water,” Ilma showcases a sleek, superyacht-inspired exterior by the folks at Finnish studio Aivan and an elegant, light-filled interior by British firm AD Associates. Inspired by elements of Maltese mythology, coastline, history, and native fauna, the decor sees neutral tones juxtaposed by dark finishes and statement lighting by designer DPA. The curated art collection also includes “thought-provoking pieces that encourage guests to immerse in their surroundings,” according to Ritz-Carlton.

The 790-footer includes 224 spacious suites that can sleep up to 448 passengers. Each suite showcases floor-to-ceiling windows and private oceanview terraces that foster a connection to the sea. As with Evrima, Ilma has a collection of larger, more luxurious suites for seafarers looking to go all out. The Owner’s Suite, for instance, offers just over 1,000 square feet of living space, an in-suite bar, and a chic dining area. The crew-to-guest ratio is almost one-to-one, so you can expect personalized service akin to a five-star hotel, too.

Ilma will kick off her cruising career with a seven-night trip from Monte Carlo to Rome on September 2, after which she will embark on more voyages to the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Ilma will then sail the North and Baltic Seas of Northern Europe during the 2025 summer season. For reservations, contact (833) 999-7292 or your travel professional.
