Alaska Cruise

A cruise on a magnificent ship is a great way to meet new companions and to fall for Alaska, the North Pacific’s Bering Sea, and Russia. The cruise season is from mid May to September when the temperatures vary from 10th to 18th century. In August temperatures can reach the low 20 degrees celcius but the weather can change daily.

Whatever the weather cruises care of Ocean Cruises offer visits to the spectacular forested remote islands, waterfalls and glaciers in the coastal stretch between the mountains and the Bering sea. As you sip a rum punch on deck, watch humpback whales, sea birds, arctic fox, fur seals, eagles, glaciers, bears and puffins putting on a show for you from their natural habitat. These beautiful creatures are just some of the amazing wildlife on offer amongst the remote islands.

The Glaciers seven day cruises which leave from Seattle and Vancouver take you North past huge active glaciers through the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound.

The popular seven day Inside Passage cruises between the coast and offshore islands begin and end in Seattle or Vancouver. As you sail further north you will find astounding Skagway and Glacier Bay. Your ship will go South again, stopping at Ports such as Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan on the way. The Bering Sea is where some of the most remote islands on earth are.

All Ocean-Cruise flights are with either major airlines - Virgin Atlantic, British Midland International, American Airlines, United Airlines - or household name charters - My Travel, Thomas Cook, Air Atlanta, and so on. We can arrange flights on budget airlines too!

Juneau Port is the Alaska Capital, in an area of unbelievable natural beauty. Your ship will sail into Glacier Bay National Park with its breathtaking views.

In Glacier Bay from the ship’s bridge, watch the Marjorie Glacier float by in the quiet calm of blue white icy seas. Icebergs float around the ship controlled by the crew who create currents, by turning the ship in small movements to keep the icebergs away, sure to avoid that Titanic situation.

The gold mining town of Skagway was the first stop a hundred years ago for people on their way to the Klondike gold fields in the Yukon. It is tucked between lovely mountains at the head of Chilkoot Trail and a popular stop for visitors to the Alaska Panhandle.

Port Sitka, South of Juneau is the first big town South on the mountainous Baranof Island.

See Mount Edgecumbe to the west of the city which is very like Japan’s astounding Mount Fuji.

The many forested islands that surround Sitka are an extraordinary sight.

Port Ketchikan is the furthest South in Alaska, and is about 230 miles Southeast of Juneau. The cruise ships enter the city port over the Tongrass Narrows waterway.

See the waterfront buildings over the Tongrass Narrows, which are supported by pilings which are connected by a great broadwalk.

On a glacier cruise you will pass by the Gulf of Alaska, Yakutat Bay and Prince William Sound. Brace yourself as you promenade on deck to see some of Alaska’s biggest and most active glaciers!

The Bering Sea off Russia is bordered by Russia’s Kamchatka and Chukotka Peninsulas, Alaska’s Western Coast, and the Arctic Circle to the North.

There are many spectacular islands in these waters.
