The Alaska Discount Cruise Guide

Cruises

The Cruise Lines and number of ships visiting the Great State of Alaska, has grown dramatically over the past 20 years. As a result, most cruises are more affordable today than ever before. In addition to price, our criteria for selling a ship includes: consistent service, quality of cuisine, immaculate facilities, financial stability and an assortment of entertainment programs along with an excellent itinerary.

We are in constant communication with our industry peers and inspect the ships to ensure a quality product which results in a superior vacation for you. As elementary as it sounds, we sell what we like and skew towards the smallest of the big ships.

I believe the excellent itinerary line is worth repeating. I assume you are going to Alaska to see Alaska. If so, you need a dazzling glacier highlight such as Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay National Park or College Fjord. To avoid disappointment, select an itinerary that includes one or more of these highlights.

7-Day Seattle Roundtrip

7-Day Vancouver BC Roundtrip

7-Day one way between Vancouver BC and Seward or Whittier, Alaska

The Luxury Collection – 10 to 14 day Cruises

These are the cruise lines which offer a deluxe, upscale and traditional cruise experience. The ships are smaller with a high crew to passenger ratio which equates to personalized service along with an emphasis on excellent cuisine and luxurious accommodations.

More importantly, they offer exceptional itineraries. These cruises are not cheap rather they are relatively expensive but they offer the best value in relation to other similar vacations. In many cases, free RT-USA air and gratuities are included. Equally as important, they bring a style of elegance to Alaska which cannot be found anywhere else.

Since, the Amsterdam is a “Grand Class” ship, it makes the cut. The ship is substantially larger than the others in this classification, but the lower fare basis creates a compelling opportunity.

These ships are an excellent alternative to a cruise/tour combination, too.
