Cruise Traveler Magazine
Cruise Traveler Magazine Presents: Alaska the last great frontier.
From the majestic glaciers and breathtaking vistas to the abundant wildlife and historical sites, Alaska is an unforgettable adventure.
Some of the ports and destinations that we recommend you visit on your next Alaska 2013 Cruise include ports of call to Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Haines, Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Sawyer Glacier just to name a few great places to visit. You can embark and disembark from five major ports; Seattle,San Francisco, Whittier (SB), Seward (SB), the Port of Vancouver(NB) .
We are often asked: "when is the best time to visit Alaska?" Summer's the best time of year to explore Alaska's spectacular wonders — from ice age glaciers and frontier towns to miles of unspoiled scenery.
And the bays and mountains of Alaska are best appreciated from your elegant cruise ship, domed
railcars and deluxe motorcoaches. This 4 month sailing season offers the best opportunity to take in
the breathtaking beauty and landscape of Alaska and to view its varied wildlife. where you can have a chance to see them up close. Look closely and you may see many eagles (bald and golden), bear, whales, including those in a breach, seals, wolf, moose and caribou. If you travel during salmon run,
you probably will see more bear and eagles. The scenery is to die for, the vistas spectacular.
season, then it is to cruise during the peak travel months months of June 2013 Alaska Cruises , July 2013 Alaska Cruises and August 2013 Alaska Cruises. Why? Prices go up as the summer goes on, so you will find the cheapest deals during the first two weeks of May. The weather will be much cooler than in August, but you could save over $1000 a couple by visiting Alaska during the off-peak period. Your chances of seeing more wildlife, including salmon, moose, bears , caribou and eagles on longer tours of the state's National Parks.
Drink in the splendor of the Alaskan wilderness as you sip cappuccino from your private veranda. Bears. Bald eagles. And hump back whales breaking the surf. Mother Nature's favorite zoo roams as free as you will. From the breathtaking sights of Hubbard Glacier to the pioneering spirit of Juneau, Alaska is an expedition in rekindling your hidden, untamed soul.
We are also asked: "When is the best time to book a cruise to Alaska? " How can I save the most money, see what I want, and still stay on budget? " If you book early, at least 6 months to year before departure, you will get the best discounts and accommodation choices for 2013 Alaska cruises. The same thing goes for 2013 Alaska Cruisetours. The very best deals offered are just around the time the cruise lines announce their Alaska cruise and cruisetour programs for the following year. Mid-March is when most cruise lines open their books for reservations for the following year. As the Summer goes on, and availability shrinks, prices go up. Unlike the Caribbean in winter, there are a limited number of cruise ships that sail Alaska's waterways, so capacity does sell out fast for the best dates, rates and accommodations. Cruisetours are limited to the size of a motorcoach ( around 40 guests ) and sell out much faster than if you just booked a cruise only without a land and sea vacation. To get the best deal, discounts, cheap fares and best stateroom accommodations, book early. Browse the web, check your Sunday papers, look all around to find the discounts, special offers, kids fly free or reduced rate promotions, 2 for1 deals and other incentives, such as past guest offers, or military discounts that can save you money. Let us help you plan your next Alaska 2013 Cruise or Cruisetour vacation.
