What people love about Alaska Tours

Everything was great organized, our CEO Megan was so kind and well prepared.

It was a very fun and adventuresome trip. The tour guide was well organized and hard working. The only problem was one of the camp sites was pretty primitive compared with the "KOA-style" campgrounds advertised by the company.

I highly recommend Infinite Adventures in general and this trip particularly. If you want to see the best of Alaska you have to join the team and their bus, In 20 days I have seen more from Alaska than I would ever have expected. Dave and Tory are amazing and I would travel with them any time. 5 stars all the way!!!

"It was my first group trip and also my first camping trip. I have to say it was one of the best trips I've been on. It was an adventure! We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights at Remote Camp. Tory and Dave took care of everything and made sure everyone had a great time. No matter what problem you had, they always helped each other! Dave cooked delicious food, we had marshmallows by the fire in the evening and it felt like family. It's a great tour and I can only recommend it to anyone! It certainly wasn't my last tour with Infinite Adventure! Many thanks to Tory, Dave and Natalie (who you could ask any question you wanted to know beforehand) for this unforgettable time! :)

"It was an awesome tour. Saw and did so much. I would recommend Trafalgar to tour with. We are booked next year for The Colorful Trails of the SW in September. I want to say our tour director,Tyler Browning, is one of the best guides we have had. He is personable, friendly, caring, very knowledgeable and on top of everything. He is GREAT!

Best places to visit in alaska.

Rugged beauty, fascinating wildlife and charming seaside towns are just a few of the things you can expect on a visit to Alaska. With many destinations only accessible by air or sea, this remote paradise is a treat for those willing to make the journey. You will be rewarded with magnificent glaciers, rich Native American culture and breathtaking views of the aurora borealis (best seen between August and April). To help you choose the right locale for your getaway to the Last Frontier, U.S. News considered factors like accessibility, natural beauty and can't-miss attractions to determine the best places to visit in Alaska. Weigh in below to have a say in next year's ranking.

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve

Kenai fjords national park, denali national park and preserve, wrangell-st. elias national park and preserve, katmai national park and preserve, lake clark national park and preserve.

A visit to Fairbanks is sure to take your breath away. Travel here in the summer to experience the legendary midnight sun, a phenomenon where the sun shines nearly all day, or visit in winter for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the northern lights. Must-see attractions here include the University of Alaska Museum of the North, the Georgeson Botanical Garden and the nearby Chena River State Recreation Area. While you're in town, don't forget to take advantage of Fairbanks' proximity to the Arctic Circle by scheduling a flightseeing tour .

Although getting here is a bit of a challenge (there is no road access in or out of the park), the sheer beauty of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve makes the journey more than worth it. Boasting more than 3 million acres of temperate rainforest, narrow fjords and impressive tidewater glaciers, this national park northwest of Juneau is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. While you'll likely traverse Glacier Bay on a cruise , consider getting even closer to nature on a sea kayaking tour before spending the evening under the stars in Bartlett Cove, Glacier Bay's free campground.

Home to more totem poles than anywhere else on the planet, this idyllic town on the southern tip of Alaska's Inside Passage is an excellent gateway into Alaskan indigenous culture. Plus, as the self-proclaimed "salmon capital of the world," Ketchikan offers ample opportunities for anglers to test their luck aboard a fishing charter. Stroll down historic Creek Street, Ketchikan's former red-light district that is now filled with restaurants and gift shops, then check out the Misty Fjords National Monument. Covered in dense rainforest, this dramatic slice of Alaskan wilderness is best experienced on the water via boat tour or from the sky on a floatplane.

Fed by nearly 40 glaciers flowing from the Harding Icefield, the Kenai Fjords National Park tops the list of many Alaskan itineraries . Opt for the full-day guided boat tour from Seward (anything less wouldn't do justice to the park's overwhelming beauty), and keep your eyes peeled for Steller sea lions, harbor seals and humpback whales. If you're feeling adventurous, head to the only part of the park that can be reached by car, Exit Glacier, and hike the mile-long Glacier View Loop Trail for unparalleled views of this natural wonder up close.

Located in the heart of the Alaska Range, this national park's claim to fame comes from its colossal Denali, North America's highest peak. While the challenge of climbing Denali may lure daring alpinists, most visitors find other ways to explore the park. One of the most convenient is by taking a narrated bus tour, where you'll learn about the history of the park from a trained naturalist and have the opportunity to spot "the big five" of Denali's wildlife – moose, caribou, grizzly bears, Dall sheep and wolves.

Situated about 30 miles off the Alaskan coast, Kodiak Island (also known as the Emerald Isle) is the second-largest island in the country. Although Kodiak Island is best known for its premier bear viewing opportunities (the Kodiak bear is found exclusively on Kodiak Island and its surrounding isles), it also attracts visitors hoping to see gray whales, Steller sea lions and roaming bison. When you're not enjoying Kodiak's ample wildlife viewing opportunities, take a scenic drive along the Chiniak Highway for beautiful views of black sand beaches, salmon streams and untouched Alaskan wilderness.

Skagway is a town with a colorful past and it has embraced its identity as a gold rush icon. Here, visitors will find locals in period costumes, a historic district and approximately 100 original gold rush-era structures. Learn about the Klondike Gold Rush at the Skagway Museum & Archives, then ride the rails on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. If you find yourself in Skagway over the summer, consider participating in the Duff's Trail Challenge, a task which requires you to hike all 12 of the town's trails, totaling 85 miles, between early May and early October.

As the largest national park and preserve in the United States, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve encompasses more than 13 million acres of volcanoes, forests, watersheds, rivers and glaciers. Start off your visit with a trip to the Copper Center Visitor Center, then delve into the workings of a historic copper mine at the Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark. When you're ready for some fresh air, hike the Root Glacier Trail or roll down the windows for a scenic drive along McCarthy Road and Nabesna Road.

Seward is a must-visit on any Alaskan itinerary. Start your visit with a trip to the Alaska SeaLife Center, Alaska's only permanent rescue and rehabilitation facility for marine mammals, then take a stroll along Seward Waterfront Park. Meanwhile, visitors walking around downtown will be treated to more than 30 colorful murals that adorn various buildings. If you visit in July, be sure to check out the famed Mount Marathon Race, an annual event where runners from around the world attempt a grueling climb up Seward's iconic mountain, which is then followed by a daring downhill descent.

Quirky and carefree, this small town outside of Denali National Park and Preserve is a favorite among travelers who appreciate quaint coffee shops and charming local history. Take a walk down Main Street to enjoy Talkeetna's collection of art galleries, restaurants and artisan shops (Aurora Dora's Gallery features jaw-dropping images of the northern lights), then head to the Talkeetna Historical Society and Museum to learn more about this unique town. Flight tours over Denali are popular here, as are typical Alaskan activities like fishing, hiking and getting out on the water on a cruise or exhilarating jet boat tour.

After the 1912 eruption of the Novarupta volcano, President Woodrow Wilson established this national park to preserve the site of the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. Named the "Valley of 10,000 Smokes," this site extends for more than 40 square miles and is covered in thick blankets of ash and pumice. Popular activities in the park include rafting, hiking, camping and kayaking, although many visit to try to catch a glimpse of the thriving brown bear population. Brooks Camp, a visitor center and campground, offers multiple viewing platforms where you can see Katmai's wildlife up close.

Set at the entrance to a fjord in Prince William Sound, this coastal town is best known for its ample wintertime activities. With an annual snowfall of more than 300 inches, Valdez makes a wonderful destination for cross-country skiing, snowboarding and fat bike riding. When you're not exploring Valdez's nearby glaciers, which include the accessible Worthington Glacier, consider learning about the town's history at the Valdez Museum & Historical Archive. Visit in February to experience the Valdez Ice Climbing Festival, or arrive in August when the Gold Rush Days festival lights up the town with dancing, a wine walk and a parade.

Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole, the northernmost point of the world, the small Alaskan town of North Pole is one of the state's most unique travel destinations. Located roughly 15 miles southeast of Fairbanks, North Pole keeps the Christmas spirit alive year-round. Streets are festively named, with titles like Kris Kringle Drive and Mistletoe Lane, and the popular Santa Claus House offers Christmas-themed souvenirs, a sweet shop, a reindeer pen and a Letters from Santa program. While you're here, don't miss out on the nearby Chena Lake Recreation Area, which boasts sandy beaches, campgrounds, fishing opportunities, nature trails and more.

Wild and enchanting, Alaska's capital deserves a spot on everyone's bucket list. Whether you're spotting humpback whales in Mendenhall Lake, kayaking alongside the steep rock walls of Tracy Arm Fjord or taking a helicopter tour over Juneau's vast icefield, there's no shortage of activities to occupy your time in Juneau. Learn about Alaska's native history at the Alaska State Museum, then board the Goldbelt Tram for breathtaking views of the Gastineau Channel. Before saying goodbye to this picturesque mountain town, don't forget to lace up your boots for a vigorous hike along Mendenhall Glacier's East Glacier Loop.

Located about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve can only be reached by plane or boat. And while it doesn't receive the same level of notoriety as Denali or Kenai Fjords, this remote paradise is ideal for those seeking a one-on-one experience with nature. Watch coastal brown bears search for food in Chinitna Bay, fish for salmon in Crescent Lake or spend the day rafting down Chilikadrotna River. For an unforgettable vacation, book your stay in one of the park's historic log cabins.

Sitting in the shadow of Mount Edgecumbe and steeped in both Russian heritage and native Tlingit culture, Sitka is a premier destination for people who enjoy fishing, nature and history. When you're not snapping photos of historic St. Michael's Cathedral or admiring totem poles at Sitka National Historical Park, see a snapshot of Sitka's wildlife by touring the Alaska Raptor Center or observing orphaned black and brown bears at Fortress of the Bear. If you're itching to explore the great outdoors, Sitka's location within the Tongass National Forest makes it an ideal destination for hiking and camping.

This small town on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula is known for its vibrant arts community, top-notch halibut fishing and world-renowned Homer Spit. Extending nearly 5 miles into Kachemak Bay, the Homer Spit boasts terrific birdwatching, plenty of restaurants and shops, miles of walkable coastline and postcard-worthy, snow-capped mountain vistas. While you'll likely spend the majority of your time here, you won't want to miss tide pooling at Bishop's Beach or exploring across the bay. Reachable by water taxi, Kachemak Bay State Park and remote boardwalk communities Seldovia and Halibut Cove make excellent daytrips.

McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge® offers unparalleled views of Denali from the treehouse as well as the Great Room and expansive deck in the main lodge. Tour a working Alaska homestead and learn how the Great Land’s residents have become so self-sufficient. Or land in a helicopter on a glacier beneath the tallest peak in North America on your Alaska cruisetour.

Only an hour and a half from the cruise port of Whittier lies the largest city in Alaska – Anchorage. Visit the Chugach National Forest, the second largest national forest in the United States. Spend the day absorbing history at the Anchorage Museum. Or visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and see brown bears, moose and bison living in a protected habitat that perfectly emulates the wild.

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.

Do you already have lodging booked for Seward? If so, great. If not, you probably will have to flip the itinerary since lodging in Seward around July 4th books up months if not a year in advance.

Day 3 you can visit the dogsled kennel in Denali NP or stop in Talkeetna on your way for lunch or stop in Palmer (muskox farm, reindeer farm and more).

The best Alaska cruises for every type of traveler

Whether you're in it for the sightseeing, wildlife spotting or relaxing among glaciers, there's an Alaska cruise for you

Alaska is among the most popular summer vacation destinations since it’s (pretty much) the only time of year the state offers warm, sunny weather and hours of extra daylight (on my summer 2022 trip here, I remember looking at my iPhone and being surprised that the sun still hadn’t set by 9pm!). In my opinion, cruising is, by far, the best way to experience the massive state and all the beauty it has to offer since you won’t need to drive or hop on a handful of flights; plus, you’ll only need to unpack once! (The views, of course, are just the icing on the proverbial cake.)

As you scroll through our top picks for the best Alaska cruises, it’s worth noting that most options include scenic cruising through Alaska’s Inside Passage, a 500-mile-long coastal route world-renowned for its wildlife, glaciers and postcard-worthy scenery. (I’ll never forget the awe I felt when watching a whale breach from the 11th deck of my cruise ship or the glacier-studded views I ogled from the comfort of my private balcony.)

Below, I’ve broken down the best Alaska cruises for every type of traveler, including budget-conscious cruisers, adventure-seekers and luxury lovers alike.

Best Alaska cruises

1.  Holland America Line’s Alaskan Explorer

Best overall experience.

Cruises from: Seattle (roundtrip) Sailing dates: May through September 2024

I was fortunate enough to cruise Alaska with Holland America back in August 2022 aboard the line’s uber-popular, aptly named Alaskan Explorer itinerary. Cruising roundtrip from Seattle, the seven-day journey features scenic cruising through Stephens Passage before arriving in Juneau, where my sister and I embarked on my favorite shore excursion of the trip: A dog sledding adventure! The following day, we cruised through Glacier Bay before arriving at Icy Strait Point for a few hours, which we spent whale-watching—to this day, it is one of my most cherished travel memories. Afterward, we headed to Sitka, where we went rafting and spotted wildlife like puffins and adorable sea otters before wrapping up the adventure in the final two ports of call, Ketchikan and Victoria, British Columbia.

The onboard offerings were equally impressive, with nightly live music and some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten (Holland America is the first cruise line to serve 100 percent fresh and certified sustainable Alaska seafood on board). Just this year, the line unveiled its Glacier Guarantee : Guests are guaranteed to visit a glacier during their sailing; otherwise, they’re entitled to a Future Cruise Credit equal to 15 percent of their cruise fare.

2.  Celebrity Cruises’ Alaska Dawes Glacier

Best upscale option.

Cruises from: Seattle (roundtrip)

Sailing dates: May through August 2024

Celebrity Cruises offers an upscale onboard experience with plenty of chic hangout spaces, stylish restaurants and contemporary staterooms. For the first time, the spectacular 2019-era Celebrity Edge—known for its 29 restaurants bars and lounges plus innovative spaces like the Magic Carpet , which the line has deemed “the world’s first cantilevered, floating platform that reaches heights of 13 stories above sea level”—will homeport in Seattle. She’ll cruise to Alaska via the seven-night Alaska Dawes Glacier itinerary, including scenic sailing through Endicott Arms and the Inside Passage. As you can likely tell by its name, guests aboard this itinerary will cruise alongside the striking Dawes Glacier, which stands over 600 feet tall and can be further inspected via a thrilling shore excursion. Ports of call include Juneau, Skagway and Victoria (British Columbia).

3.  Crystal’s Vancouver to Vancouver

Best luxury cruise.

Cruises from: Vancouver (roundtrip) Sailing dates: July 2024

For a truly memorable Alaska sailing, splurge on Crystal’s seven-night Vancouver to Vancouver itinerary—and thank me later. As you can guess by its name, the 740-passenger Crystal Serenity will sail roundtrip from Vancouver, cruising through Canada’s glacier-studded Seymour Narrows before calling on Sitka and Skagway, respectively. Afterward, you’ll enjoy scenic cruising through the Endicott Arm fjord before one last port stop in Ketchikan. While in port, cruisers can embark on bucket-list-worthy excursions such as wildlife spotting tours, kayaking adventures and fishing. The on-board programming is equally impressive: All passengers, regardless of their room category, enjoy private butler service; Wi-Fi; a selection of wines, champagne, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages like water, soft drinks and specialty coffees; free gratuities; and one complimentary reservation to each of the two specialty dining restaurants, including the first and only Nobu at sea (yes, that Nobu).

4.  Lindblad Expeditions–National Geographic’s Exploring Alaska’s Coastal Wilderness

Best for wildlife spotting.

Cruises from: Juneau to Sitka and vice-versa Sailing dates: May through September 2024

Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have teamed up to offer a handful of one-of-a-kind Alaska sailings specially suited for true adventure-seekers. The Exploring Alaska’s Coastal Wilderness itinerary, which sails from Juneau to Sitka and vice-versa (depending on your desired sail date), invites cruisers to experience Alaska’s natural landscapes and wildlife up close and personal with guidance and unique insight from an onboard expedition team . Along the way, partake in adventures like hiking through forests, cruising around icebergs via Zodiac, or searching for puffins and mountain goats in Glacier Bay National Park. Little ones can also partake in the fun: Children and teens can learn more about Alaska’s landscapes and wildlife with the National Geographic Global Explorers family program. Cruisers will sail on one of two 100-person vessels, National Geographic Quest or National Geographic Venture, both offer a shallow draft that, per the website, allows the ships’ captains to “navigate the inner reaches and provide more intimate experiences.”

5.  Alaskan Dream Cruises’ 2024 Ice of the Inside Passage

Best small-ship option.

Cruises from: Sitka to Ketchikan

Sailing dates: May through August 2024 This brand-new itinerary from Indigenous-owned Alaskan Dreams Cruises is ideal for cruisers craving an authentic small-ship experience. The eight-day voyage departs from Sitka aboard the 49-passenger Baranof Dream. From there, you'll enjoy scenic cruising through Glacier Bay National Park. It’s also worth noting that, because of the ship’s small size, guests can gain an up-close view of seven different glaciers, including Margerie, Grand Pacific, Mendenhall, Sawyer, South Sawyer and Dawes glaciers, plus a high-speed jet-boat excursion to LeConte Glacier.

After cruising Glacier Bay National Park, it’s off to Juneau, followed by more scenic sailing through the Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm fjords (the latter can be explored via kayak or skiff expedition). This itinerary is also unique since it includes a Kasaan stop where guests can immerse themselves in Alaska's native culture by visiting the Haida community. The final port of call, Ketchikan, is known as “The Salmon Capital of the World.”

6.  Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Flavors of Alaska

Cruises from: Vancouver to Seward

Sailing dates: June 2024

Cruise the Last Frontier in style with Regent Seven Seas aboard the Seven Seas Explorer, which offers all-suite accommodations equipped with private balconies for soaking in the glacial views. While there are several Alaska itineraries to choose from, Flavors of Alaska , which sails from Vancouver to Seward, is among our favorites since it includes (pretty much) all of Alaska’s most popular ports of call, including Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Icy Strait Point, with Hubbard Glacier scenic cruising. As such, it’s an excellent choice for first-time visitors to Alaska. It’s also worth noting that this particular voyage offers up to 50 free excursions, including rainforest and glacier hikes, whale-watching adventures, kayaking and fishing. While this luxury cruise line isn’t cheap, it offers excellent value with numerous amenities already included in the price, such as specialty dining, transfers between the airport and ship, an open bar package, roundtrip air on domestic flights, gratuities and two-for-one fares.

7.  Norwegian Cruise Line’s Alaska: Dawes Glacier, Juneau & Ketchikan

Best for families.

Cruises from: Seattle (roundtrip) Sailing dates:  May through September 2024

Norwegian Cruise Line is renowned for its casual, come-as-you-are atmosphere—for example, there are no set dining times—and breadth of activities and amenities. As such, it’s safe to say this mega-ship line is ideal for families of all ages. This summer, gather the family for an epic Alaska sailing aboard the aptly named Norwegian Bliss, which offers thrilling activities like go-kart racing and laser tag. The itinerary is equally impressive as the vessel itself: After setting sail from Seattle, it’s off to scenic Sitka. The following day, you’ll explore Juneau before scenic cruising through Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier. Passengers will then visit Icy Strait Point (home to the state’s largest native Tlingit village, as well as awe-inspiring wildlife, including orcas and humpback whales, which, if you’re lucky, can be spotted straight from the ship). The final Alaskan port of call, Ketchikan, is renowned for its colorful Creek Street, a former red light district turned tourist attraction, where you can also spot salmon swimming upstream (and even the occasional otter or two). Before heading back to Seattle, you’ll visit Victoria, British Columbia, which just so happens to be one of my favorite ports of call thanks to its charming shops and restaurants coupled with its bustling food scene (fun fact: It’s home to the highest number of restaurants per capita in Canada).

8.  Viking Cruises’ Alaska & The Inside Passage

Best adults-only.

Sailing dates: May through September 2024

Viking is renowned for its adults-only, all-inclusive cruises (think free spa access; Wi-Fi; one shore excursion per port; wine and soft drinks with onboard lunch and dinner; all-balcony accommodations). Cruisers aboard the line’s 11-day Alaska & The Inside Passage itinerary—where nobody is below the age of 18—enjoy visits to popular ports of call like Juneau, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Skagway and Ketchikan, along with a stop in Valdez, a small fishing town known for its glaciers, waterfalls and scenic hiking trails, before disembarking in Seward, aka the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park. The line is also known for its immersive shore excursions, including a visit to Saxman Native Village and animal encounters at the Alaska Sealife Center.

9.  Royal Caribbean’s Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier

Best budget option.

Cruises from: Seward to Vancouver

Royal Caribbean is known for its laid-back ambiance and bucket-list sailings aboard its mega-ship fleet, which offer something for everyone, be it water slides, skydiving simulators or escape rooms. With fares ranging from $299 to $625 depending on the date, the seven-night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier aboard Radiance of the Seas—which offers completely complimentary activities like a rock climbing wall and Broadway-caliber entertainment, not to mention 11 dining options and several bars and lounges—is a great way to experience The Last Frontier without breaking the bank. After embarking in Seward, passengers will enjoy scenic cruising around Hubbard Glacier, followed by port stops in Juneau, Skagway, Haines (famous for its majestic wildlife, including bears and eagles), Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan. Before disembarking in Vancouver, travelers are in for one final treat: Scenic cruising through the Inside Passage.

10.  Princess Cruises’ Seven-Day Inside Passage (with Glacier Bay National Park)

Best for foodies.

Culinary connoisseurs can sail to Alaska aboard Discovery Princess, which is among the newest Princess ships to cruise Alaska this season, and the Seven-Day Inside Passage (with Glacier Bay National Park) is one for the books since it calls on Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Victoria (British Columbia), along with scenic cruising through Glacier Bay National Park. Also, as part of the line’s “North to Alaska” programming, passengers can partake in unique culinary experiences, including Cook My Catch at the new specialty seafood restaurant, The Cach by Rudi. This unique offering allows cruisers to consume their very own fresh catch caught on a fishing excursion. Foodies can also partake in an onboard salmon cooking demonstration led by expert chefs, along with a four-course seafood feast at the Crab Shack, a lunch pop-up found in the World Fresh Marketplace.

Why the journey is the destination when it comes to Alaska cruises

They say getting there is half the fun. Usually, I disagree. When I travel, I want to get to where I’m going as quickly as possible to make the most of my time there. However, sailing Celebrity Edge on its maiden Alaska voyage from Seattle, I was all about the journey.

Staring up at the snow-capped mountains through the ship’s floor-to-ceiling windows and watching for wildlife in the icy waters below, I was mesmerized by the famed Last Frontier. And I realized that on an Alaska cruise , the journey is a destination.

Here’s why and what travelers should know about cruising Alaska.

Why is Alaska a popular cruise destination?

Alaska is a bucket-list destination for many people. Some may wait their whole lives for the trip. While Alaska Airlines and other carriers fly throughout America’s largest state , it isn’t as easy to navigate as the Lower 48.

Cruises allow travelers to visit multiple destinations without taking separate flights, renting a car or moving from hotel to hotel. My Edge itinerary included stops in Ketchikan, which is surrounded by the lush Tongass National Forest ; the state capital of Juneau, which is only accessible by air or sea; and Skagway, home of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park . The ship also carefully navigated the stunning Endicott Arm fjord toward Dawes Glacier, a highlight of the trip.

The easy trip can also be more accessible for people with mobility issues and other disabilities. Like other cruise lines, Celebrity has a team dedicated to accessible cruising . Numerous guests on board my sailing used walkers, canes or wheelchairs. Plus, it’s just nice to be able to take in the dramatic coastlines from the comfort of a cozy cabin or lounge when it’s chilly outside.

Are cruises to Alaska worth it?

They can be. At last check, the lowest price on a seven-night Celebrity Edge Alaska Dawes Glacier sailing, roundtrip from Seattle, for the remainder of this summer is listed at $778 per person on the cruise line’s website, based on double occupancy in an inside stateroom. That does not include travel to or from Seattle nor any taxes or fees, which can balloon the bottom line on any cruise. Nor does it include promotional discounts, which are pretty much always available. After taxes and fees, that works to about $2,212 for two people or $1,106 per person. 

The cheapest seven-night Southbound Glacier sailing on the Edge’s sister ship, Celebrity Summit , is much less at $249 per person, based on double occupancy in an inside stateroom. It’s worth noting the Southbound voyage goes from Seward, Alaska, to Vancouver, British Columbia, not a round trip. Also the Summit is not an Edge-class ship , The Celebrity Edge is the first Edge class ship to sail Alaska; it was also the first ship in Celebrity’s most recent series, which also includes the new Celebrity Ascent . Edge-class ships were designed to bring guests closer than ever to their destinations, with their signature Magic Carpet cantilevered platform that extends beyond the ship’s edge and other features that bring the outside in. After taxes and fees, the Summit sailing adds up to about $1,231 for two people or about $615 a person.

Both are cheaper than flying between cities and staying at hotels for a week in Alaska, but they're also cheaper than other popular vacations. For example, seven nights at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort , a value resort at Walt Disney World , costs $955 for the room alone, including taxes and a summer promo deal. Adding seven days of park tickets, without park hopping, and the total becomes $2,195 for two people or about $1,098 per person, excluding food.

Meanwhile, cruises include all onboard meals – except optional specialty dining and alcohol. There are also a boatload of included activities, like nature talks, tai chi classes, guided arts and crafts, trivia, games and childcare. There’s live music available through the day and nightly stage shows. I sampled a little bit of everything, but for me, the best part of the ship was the views.

Inside Ascent: 3 takeaways from Celebrity Cruises' new ship

Do you see wildlife on an Alaskan cruise?

Yes. I saw whale spouts three times from the ship, though the whales didn’t breach above water. I also saw a handful of harbor seals and a dozen eagles from the ship and from shore. Bald eagles are so common in Alaska that a tour bus driver jokingly called them bald seagulls. There are 30,000 bald eagles in the state, according to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game. 

I kept an eye out for bears on an excursion to Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. I didn’t see any walking along the paved, wheelchair-accessible Nugget Falls Trail, but I did spot all sorts of spring buds and the most beautiful moss.

The ship’s onboard naturalist gave us a heads-up on what to look for and taught us about various species in presentations in the ship’s theater. She also broadcasted live on the ship’s TV channel and inside speakers while traveling through the Endicott Arm. However, her voice wasn’t carried on outside speakers to avoid potentially disturbing wildlife.

What is the best month to go on a cruise to Alaska?

The Alaska cruise season runs from late April to early October, though dates vary by cruise line. Guests who sail early or late in the season may find lower rates than during the height of the summer, but they may miss out on warmer weather.

It was in the 40s to 50s most days of my May sailing, and it rained on our Juneau day. The onboard naturalist warned that there is no bad weather in Alaska, only poor clothing choices.

How much should I budget for an Alaskan cruise?

You should pad your budget with several hundred extra dollars for excursions and dining off-ship. Both can be pricey but enriching. My Mendenhall Glacier excursion was just under $130, including transportation and an off-site Gold Creek Salmon Bake , with all-you-can-eat fresh salmon cooked over a wood-burning fire.  I’ve never had better fried fish than the local halibut at The Alaska Fish House in Ketchikan, and I will be dreaming of the sweet, plump red king crab at Tracy’s King Crab Shack in Juneau for years to come.  If you want freshly caught Alaska seafood, you’ll want to get it at port.

You may be able to spot whales from the cruise ship, but if you really want to go whale watching, salmon fishing, dog sledding, or get up close to glaciers, that’s generally going to require an excursion. Excursions offered through cruise lines tend to cost more than those booked independently, but booking through the cruise line can streamline payment and ensure that the ship won’t leave without you if the excursion runs late.

One port you can enjoy on the cheap is Skagway. You can explore several exhibits and historic buildings on your own, as part of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. However many visitors splurge on a scenic train ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway up to the Canadian border and back.

Is it worth getting a balcony on a cruise?

Yes and no. The views throughout Alaska are breathtaking, and being able to enjoy them from your cabin any time of day feels luxurious. I loved waking up to mountains, thick with trees, outside my window and scanning the waters for marinelife before bed.

Just over 80% of Celebrity Edge’s staterooms have a balcony. I had an Infinite Veranda , which is unique to Edge-class ships. Rather than a traditional balcony with a sliding glass door, Infinite Verandas incorporate what would be exterior balcony space into the interior of the cabin and have a window that slides halfway down the exterior wall with the push of a button. I loved how much bigger it made the cabin feel and appreciated the extra climate-controlled living space. It was still chilly during my early season sailing, so I rarely put the window down and think I would have enjoyed a non-balcony, oceanview room just as much.

Of course, if you book an inside cabin, you can still enjoy the scenery from public areas of any ship. The Celebrity Edge brings the outside in with tons of windows, including in the buffet restaurant, Oceanview Cafe, where I spotted my first whale spout. In the back of the ship, there’s a relaxing mixed-use space called Eden with three stories of windows that I found myself drawn to daily. The solarium, with its tall windows and rows of lounge chairs, also offered expansive views. 

Do I need a passport for an Alaskan cruise?

Maybe. For a closed-loop cruise that starts and ends in the same U.S. port, like the one I was on, all you need is proof of citizenship. 

“According to U.S. Customs & Border Protection, this includes an Enhanced Driver’s License, which is a state-issued driver’s license that provides proof of identity and U.S. citizenship; a government-issued birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where the person was born) or passport; and if 16 or older, a government-issued driver’s license or picture ID denoting photo, name, and date of birth,” according to Celebrity.

Of course, not all Alaska cruises are closed-loop cruises. Some start or end in Vancouver, Canada. There are also cruises on several smaller U.S.-flagged cruise lines like Alaska Dream Cruises and Uncruise Adventures , which may not require passports depending on the itinerary.

Can you see the Northern Lights on an Alaska cruise?

It’s possible, but because daylight hours are so long during the summer in Alaska, the best chance to see them would be on a cruise late in the season.

I woke up in the middle of the night a few times to look for Northern Light. I didn’t see any, but I heard passengers on a previous sailing spotted them. Then again, so did people all across the country during the solar storm earlier this month.

From office to paradise: How I flew to Maui on day one as an Alaska intern

Within 24 hours, I went from receiving my employee ID to hopping on a plane to Maui. Imagine this: one minute, you’re touring your new job site in Seattle, and the next, you’re boarding a flight to paradise. That’s the magic of interning for an airline.  

Before I joined Alaska’s internship program, I had never been to Hawaii. It was always on my bucket list, so when I met two other interns who wanted to go, it felt like fate. I could practically hear the 5 o’clock flight calling my name!  

Maui is a dream come true  

The warm air and stunning island views were exactly how I imagined Hawaii to be. On my first morning there, I ate a mango straight from a tree—it was (and will probably forever be) the best mango I’ve ever had. Grocery store mangos back home just don’t compare. 

Our next adventure took us on the ‘Road to Hana.’ We stopped at local shops along the way and bought matching bracelets as keepsakes from the trip. Halfway through, we explored the lava tubes—tunnels that have been around for more than 900 years. It was an experience I’ll never forget. The entrance was surrounded by lush greenery, but once you went down the stairs, it became pitch black and all you could see, and feel was rock. After 2 ½ hours, we finally got to try the famous Maui Huli Huli Chicken. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island (10 out of 10). Our final stop on the ‘Road to Hana’ was Koki beach, a perfect and relaxing end to the trip. Hearing the waves crash and feeling the sun warming my skin was a dream come true. 

Summer internship at Alaska 

As an intern this summer, I felt immediately welcomed by the team at Alaska. They made all 35 of us interns feel like we belonged from day one. The environment is like one big family, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about everyone here. 

On our first day, all the interns got to know each other through a fun trivia game that also taught us about the company. I’m excited about the events planned for us this summer, such as ‘Interns at the Mariners’ and lunch with the executive committee. These opportunities to meet new people both inside and outside of the workplace are incredibly valuable.  

After my first week as an intern at Alaska, I had the chance to visit places I’ve always wanted to see and make new friends. I’m excited to see what this summer has in store—so many exciting possibilities are on the horizon! 

Our Internship program:

Interns at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are embedded within their teams and work on visible projects that impact our guests and the business. Beyond projects, you might rub elbows with our CEO, tour our facilities throughout the Pacific Northwest, or ride along on a cargo delivery flight between towns in Southeast Alaska.

Quick facts:

• All internships are paid.
• Interns receive unlimited standby travel on any Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air operated flight, beginning on day one of the internship. Interns also receive guest passes that can be used for friends and family member travel.
• Internship eligibility is based on graduation year. We typically look for undergraduate juniors.
• We offer a 12-week program during the summer, starting in either May or June. Interns are full-time and typically work 40 hours per week for the duration of the program.
• We recruit for internships during the fall for the following summer. Opportunities are usually posted to our careers site by mid-October for a two-week period.

Suspected Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann Expected to Be Charged with 5th Murder: Reports

Rex Heuermann, the suspected Gilgo Beach Serial Killer, is already accused of murdering four women

The suspected "Gilgo Beach Serial Killer" is expected to be indicted on a fifth murder charge, according to multiple news reports, which cite sources.

Rex Heuermann , 59, was previously charged with the murders of   Melissa Barthelemy ,  Amber Costello ,  Megan Waterman and Maureen Brainard-Barnes .

NBC New York , Fox News and Newsday report that Heuermann is expected to be indicted Thursday on a murder charge connected to a fifth victim who has not been identified.

Brainard-Barnes, Waterman, Costello and Barthelemy were working as escorts at the time of their deaths and were reported missing between 2007 and 2010, PEOPLE previously reported. Their remains were all found in an area on Gilgo Beach in Long Island, N.Y., in December 2010. It is unclear where the remains of the fifth alleged victim were found.

According to Newsday , Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney previously said that an additional six sets of remains were found near Gilgo Beach in 2011 and the investigation into those remains continues.

Bob Macedonio, the attorney for Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, tells PEOPLE the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office and other law enforcement personnel searched the house the couple shared over six days last month.

The search, according to Macedonio, focused primarily on the basement.

"There were items taken, but I'm just not at liberty to discuss them at this point in time," Macedonio tells PEOPLE.

Heuermann — an architect from Massapequa Park, N.Y. — was arrested July 13, 2023, near his office building in Manhattan. He was a married father of two at the time of his arrest.

Prosecutors previously claimed that Heuermann committed the murders when his now-estranged wife and children were out of town, according to court documents previously obtained by PEOPLE.

That his family was away gave him "unfettered time to execute his plans for each victim without any fear that his family would uncover or learn of his involvement in these crimes," prosecutors said in the court documents.

Heuermann previously pleaded not guilty to murder in the deaths of Barthelemy, Costello and Waterman.

A spokesperson for Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney would not comment to PEOPLE about the reports of the pending indictment.

Alaska Airlines Brings Back Hot Food for Main Cabin Fliers

By Allison Williams May 22, 2024

Is there an easier target than airplane food? To complain about a meal served at 30,000 feet has the energy of a hacky comedian launching into a "What's the deal with..." rant. Or at least it did until mile-high dining more or less disappeared on domestic flights in recent years. Airplane peanuts, we hardly knew ye.

But Alaska Airlines is stepping back into the fray with a new slate of hot meals, launching today. We took part in an airline-hosted taste test at ground level, and the bottom line is, well, a mixed bag.

The Seattle-based airline stopped heating up meals for the main cabin back in the late 2010s after  a Tom Douglas–centered foray in branded dining . In recent years only the first-class passengers got to warm their bellies, but starting today the rest of us get in on the action, at least on flights over 1,100 miles. (They plan by mileage instead of elapsed time because, as we all know, the length of a particular flight can vary wildly.) Think Hawai'i flights but not hops to Los Angeles.

The catch: you gotta pay for these snacks and reserve them in advance; 0rdering is available from two weeks to 20 hours before takeoff. At the taste test, Alaska food and beverage product manager David Rodriguez noted that the prep kitchens would prefer even more notice, but the 20-hour cutoff allows for a bit of overlap with the 24-hour check-in window. Each dish costs $11.50 ($10.50 for the breakfast sandwich), with Alaska Airlines credit card holders scoring a 20 percent discount.

But back to the food itself. With an Evergreens , a Beecher's , and a whole slew of take-out options at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport available , how do these new dishes rank? I tasted four:

• A monte cristo breakfast sandwich with sliced turkey and ham; the combo of two mild meats with both melted swiss cheese and cream cheese was a bit bland, and the hit of raspberry jam inside the croissant-style roll was lost.

• The carnitas breakfast bowl, whose pulled pork was topped with a salsa verde with surprising but not overwhelming kick. I'd have happily scarfed down the entirety of this trio of meat, breakfast potatoes, and not-rubbery scrambled eggs.

• A panang curry chicken with a red coconut sauce and sweet red peppers. The hefty edamame beans on top give it a jolt of fresh veggie feeling, but the overall vibe was pleasantly forgettable. 

• And finally, a duo of pretzel roll sliders with beef patties and caramelized onions with more swiss. The mix of salty and rich lands—who doesn't love a good soft onion?—but the bites disappear quickly; the included side of potato chips will help.

All four dishes hit squarely between "snack" and "meal" in terms of serving size, which actually makes sense for an Alaska Airlines–length flight (after all, they don't do long-hauls to Singapore ). Big eaters may be disappointed, but these serving sizes, around three ounces of protein plus carb and veggies, are a reasonable step up from the snack boxes and cold Evergreens salads also available to coach passengers. No smelly leftovers to hang onto during turbulence, or filling up too much to enjoy the first meal at the vacation destination.

The dishes were developed by chef Tony Wright with LSG Sky Chefs, a catering company, so they come with an understanding of what does and doesn't work at cruising altitude. "Bread that's been under refrigeration is hard," says Rodriguez, but the King's Hawaiian buns and croissant rolls reheat better. "You can't do avocado. We've tried," he adds.

Rodriguez and the Alaska staff took Wright out on the town to El Nido and Tomo to give him a sense of Seattle dining and while no one would mistake these in-flight entrees for that award-winning cuisine, there is some sense of West Coast flavor to the menu. Alaska also serves Fremont Brewing beer (including a new Cloud Cruiser IPA), Ellenos yogurt, and those Evergreen salads—though the latter were developed by the Seattle-based chain, they're made at the catering facility.

With sustainable packaging made of sugarcane fiber and other non-plastic materials, the meals feel like a very small upgrade to the existing cold options on Alaska. Will I remember—or bother—to order in advance of my next flight? Maybe not, but I will look with jealousy at any seatmate chowing down on the carnitas breakfast bowl or pretzel sliders when I don't.
