There will be about 7 people going. I know there are a lot of options out there. I am interested in a sea/land tour too. I want opinions on what is the best Alaska cruise to go on and when. Thanks!

Okay, best time to see the most wild-life is mid July !!
That is the best time and if you would like more information or quotes on your vacation, please let me know at dena@thecruiseplanner.com I have the lowest prices and the best service for your vacation
Cruise Ships will depend on the age and your preference type. Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Holland, and Princess all do the Alaska Area. I would need more information to get you on the best ship that works for you!
Thank you again

We went with Princess Cruise last year in August. Its was wonderful. We were worried it might be getting cold by August but we were lucky, it was 70 to75 degree's everyday. Never had any rain what so ever. No one can control the weather so we were lucky. I would go again, it was the best vacation we have ever had. I would like to do the sea/land tour also, I have heard it is fantastic. We took a 7 day cruise out of Seattle but would like to take the 11 day cruise that takes you further north in Alaska. No matter what you take or do its a great time.

I would definetely go in late May/early June. That is when the prices are lower and there aren't bugs. If you want to go on a sea/land tour, go on Holland America Lines. They own a private railroad that takes you from Anchorage to Denali National Park. The railroad goes farther into the park than any other road or trail. That can be very pricy in which case I would recommend the standard Inside Passage Cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines. There are several tours at each port you stop in from helecopter rides to dog sledding on a glacier. And by the way, I like NCL better than Holland America, so if you do book the Inside Passage cruise, get it with NCL. They aren't as nice, but they also aren't super fancy so you don't feel like you're going to break something the whole time.

Ms; I went 3 times last year. If you have the time a 11 day cruisetour is beyond words. Princess offers the best package for the price. If only going for 7 days then NCL freestyle cruise. You do not have to dress up all the time. May & Sept. are the times when rates are lower & weather is fine. Sept. all stores have 50% off sales. Check the web sites for deals. Take lots of film as nature is all around you.
Enjoy.

I currently have a group booked on the Celebrity Summit for June 22 from Vancouver, Canada to Seward, Alaska (The Inside Passage).
You have the option of just the 7 day cruise or a cruisetour (7 day cruise and 4 days post-cruise in Denali). Your group would be a welcome addition. If we add your group to my current group it might be possible for us to receive some group benefits.
Its a great itinerary and wonderful ship. Whatever you do, I'd highly recommend a balcony stateroom for a cruise like this as the primary purpose of cruising Alaska is the scenery and wildlife.
If you'd be interested in discussing, please email me at gsa_stlmo@yahoo.com. I'd be glad to discuss with you.

Go in late June, July, or Early August. July is the most expensive time also. Holland America Line is the longest running line in Alaska.
Feel free to email me and I will get you more information. My personal email is missanglgrl@yahoo.com after that I will provide you with my professional email so that I can send you information if you would like.

I plan on going next year too. I got a great book from the Alaskan Tourist board. It is so informative! It points out the best places to go, what weather to expect during the months, etc. Go to the state's website and request the booklet. You will be so happy you have it when planning your vacation.
