If you’re after a voyage of adventure which is as far from the humdrum as you can possibly get, Alaska cruises could be the perfect tonic.
This wild winter wonderland is packed with spectacular sights, from glaciers and shimmering sub-zero waters to ice fields and creatures great and small. One thing’s for sure, Alaska cruises are pretty far from the ordinary!
Watch beautiful frozen landscapes slip past as you glide towards your next port of call, and alight to explore spectacular sights like Skagway, which resembles an old Wild West town with its saloon bars and steam trains. Take an excursion to visit wonderful Juneau, where you can take a dogsled ride or experience a helicopter flight over the fantastic Juneau Ice Field. Or gaze at the Hubbard Glacier – an ancient glacier that’s hundreds of years old and over 6 miles wide – from the comfort of the ship.
You can also spend time in Vancouver, British Colombia’s vibrant city on the western shores of Canada, and marvel at its lush green islands and stunning, craggy mountains. If you return from your cruise to Vancouver, why not make the most of it and delay your flight by a few days, giving you more time in the city? It’s a great opportunity to explore this beautiful region and even drive out to the nearby ski resort of Whistler.
One of the best ways to find Alaska cruises is to search via a tour operator like Cruise Thomas Cook. This gives you the chance to search for Alaskan itineraries across multiple cruise operators such as Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruises, so you can weigh up the various itineraries available and choose the perfect holiday based on departure dates, destinations, onboard facilities and of course price.
So all that’s left to do is to pack your winter woollies and jet off to explore one of the world’s most beautiful and awe-inspiring places.
