The Alaska Cruise- A Living Memory
The Alaska cruise is a major attraction drawing vacationers with its majestic
scenery, gleaming glaciers, exotic wildlife, and Native American culture. Ships
are normally on a seven-day excursion package to Alaska and they stop at four
ports on their passage, visiting Hubbard Glacier or Glacier Bay National Park.
You may like to opt for an extended cruise-tour comprehensive package where you
go by train around Alaska and it includes lodging and seeing the sights in
Denali National Park.
Due to weather hindrances, cruises to Alaska are strictly
restricted during the summer months from early May to Mid Sept. June, July and
August are the peak seasons when the average daily temperatures reach up to 75
degrees Fahrenheit. The best time to sail is May and September as temperatures
soar around 50 degrees. Luxury vessels and midsize ships sail from Vancouver,
BC and Seattle. At both embarkment and disembarkment points, you are able to
visit the ports of Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.
The wonder world of Alaska is waiting for you. The mountains, waterfalls, the
humpback whales and frolicking sea lions, the breathtaking forests, wildlife
and the snowcapped mountains-is all there for you. Alaska is fascinating,
explorative and full of new discoveries. Each new day ushers in new surprises.
Alaska is the most memorable place on the earth. You see the breathtaking view
of Mt. McKinley as it rises grandly over Denali National Park. Imagine yourself
bird watching, hiking through the glacier waterfalls outside Juneau and sea
kayak on the Tongass National Park harbor.
Alaska is a place full of adventures with its one hundred
thousand glaciers and 3 million lakes. To enjoy the Alaska experience your
first option should be a Gulf of Alaska cruise tour, along with Voyage of the
Glaciers cruise with an option of land tours. You won’t soon forget the
Freestyle Cruising Alaska offers.
Experience the early frontier existence from America’s oldest Russian
Orthodox Church in the San Diego’s Gaslamp District, and the vineries of
Santa Barbara. You will enjoy a trolley car ride to Chinatown or
Fisherman’s Wharf. As your ship sails through Glacier Bay, you experience
nature to the fullest.
