Introduction
Alaska - the mere mention of the state evokes images of bears, moose, whales, glaciers and icebergs. That's what brings hundreds of thousands of cruise passengers here to sail each year between the months of May and September. Just because you might see lots of ice, doesn't mean you will necessarily freeze either. June, July and August are the warmest months, with daytime temperatures rising into the 70s.

Alaskan cruises usually follow one of two routes. The Inside Passage itinerary runs round trip from Vancouver or Seattle with possible stops in Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Skagway, Haines and Glacier Bay. The Gulf of Alaska route sails between Vancouver and Anchorage or vice versa. Ports of call might include Valdez and Seward as well as the Inside Passage ports of Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka and Skagway. Both routes attempt to maximize the scenery for passengers.

As with all cruises, Alaska journeys are full of potential shore excursions offered by the cruise lines. If you're visiting a big city or town, feel free to wander off on your own. But if you're looking for the exhilaration of seeing the scenery from a plane, for example, check out what your cruise line offers. There are bound to be a few once-in-a-lifetime experiences among the choices.
