7 day Alaska
An Alaska cruise is the best way to explore the wilderness of this northernmost U.S. state. Sail through the breathtaking Inside Passage, a 500-mile stretch of waterways carved by glaciers millions of years ago. Along the way, take in sweeping views of picturesque fjords, the expansive Tongass National Forest, and over 1,000 islands.
On an Alaska cruise from Seattle, you’ll discover these natural wonders both from the ship and on planned excursions. Sail past Tracy Arm Fjord, where you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking scenery– towering green cliffs, snow-covered mountains, and icebergs gently floating by.
Book an excursion to Mendenhall Glacier from the state capital Juneau to see waterfalls, ice caves, and salmon-filled creeks, or go whale watching to see majestic humpbacks. No matter where your adventure takes you on one of our Alaska cruises, you’re bound to come across the region’s renowned wildlife including moose, bears, Dall sheep, caribou, and wolves.
But Alaska vacations offer more than just natural beauty. Dive into the fascinating history of the Gold Rush and explore the cultural heritage of Alaska Native peoples. As you sail the Inside Passage, stop in towns like Ketchikan for a glimpse into their rich and storied past.

Explore Pike Place Market, immerse yourself in the city's musical heritage at the Museum of Pop Culture, or ascend the iconic Space Needle for spectacular panoramic views.
Many of the city's highlights are best appreciated from the water, and an Alaska cruise from Seattle provides breathtaking scenery before venturing into Alaska's wild landscapes. As your cruise departs on a Monday, take the weekend to see the best of this beautiful city before setting sail!
Thanks to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is surrounded by some of the world's most lush wilderness. Its Tlingit Indian name, Kach Khanna, means “spread wings of the eagle.” Chances are you'll see one of these magnificent birds perched atop a Sitka tree during your Alaska cruise to Ketchikan.

Breathtaking and exciting, Icy Strait Point truly takes you where the wild things are. It’s one of the few places in the world where wildlife outnumbers the human population. A trip here certainly satisfies your taste for adventure.

Tracy's Arm
(cruising)
Discover the beauty of Tracy Arm Fjord. Tucked away in the Tongass National Forest, this landmark is renowned for its towering glaciers, waterfalls, and pristine nature. See the imposing Sawyer Glacier, a colossal mass of ice that splits in a process called ice calving, dropping enormous chunks of itself into the fjord creating stunning icebergs. This unforgettable destination offers a unique opportunity to explore the wild nature of southeastern Alaska.
Juneau has been called “Alaska's peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area's many protected waterways, go flightseeing, tour historic downtown or try your hand at panning for gold. The majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau, a treck worthwhile.
Roam the spacious lawns of stunning Butchart Gardens with its exotic flora, unusual topiary and exquisite fountains. Explore historic Bastion Square, the treasures of Chinatown and the many sights and sounds to be found along the boardwalk of the Inner Harbour.
