Alaska Cruises

Alaska is one of the most breathtaking cruise destinations in the world, offering towering glaciers, dramatic fjords, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable wilderness experiences. At Stark Vacations, we are proud to be certified to sell Alaska cruises on Princess, Norwegian, Celebrity, Viking, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Virgin Voyages — giving you a wide range of options to find the perfect sailing for your style and budget. Alaska cruises typically operate from late April through September, with June through August being the peak season when conditions are warmest and wildlife is most abundant.

There are several itinerary styles to choose from. Some cruises sail roundtrip from Seattle, while others are one-way voyages — departing Seattle and ending in Vancouver, departing Vancouver and ending in Alaska, or beginning in Alaska and ending in Vancouver. Each style offers a unique perspective on the Inside Passage, and we can help you find the right fit.

Many cruises pair beautifully with Denali land tours or scenic train journeys through the Alaskan interior, featuring glass-domed rail cars with stunning panoramic views. These cruisetour packages are a favorite for first-time visitors who want the full Alaska experience beyond the coastline.

As a bonus for late-season travelers, the Northern Lights are sometimes visible on August and September sailings as the nights grow longer and darker. Fairbanks is considered one of the best viewing locations in the world for the aurora borealis, and it can be added to many cruisetour itineraries via train or car from the cruise ports.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
