Alaskan cruises are hugely popular with people who come to marvel at and sail past huge glaciers, snow capped mountains, beautiful bays and wonder at the abundance of wildlife. It's not just the delights of Alaska you can expect to see on an Alaskan Cruise. There are a number of great excursions you can take during an Alaskan or Canada Cruise. Some will take you on a tour of the wildlife and natural features of Alaska and Canada while others will take you into charming towns and cities.
One of the highlights of any Alaskan Cruise is the chance to spot amazing Orca Whales in the waters around Victoria and Vancouver. Whale watching tours take you as close as possible to the Orcas, where you can explore their habitats and hunting grounds along the British Columbia coastline. An Alaskan cruise is bound to leave you with a lifetime of wonderful memories.
Alaska is a region of dizzying contrasts and diverse wildlife. For something truly out of this world, the northern lights. Known as Aurora Borealis, these lights appear when the electrically charged particles from the sun are blown on a solar wind and react to the earth's magnetic field. They can be incredibly bright, with their most common colour being a striking green-yellow. Autumn, winter and spring are the best seasons to view the northern lights, and the best displays occur when the temperature is low and there is no moon.
There are huge choices of packages and itineraries available, all with breath taking views, abundant wildlife, and onshore excursions.The best Alaskan cruises and Canada Cruises are between May and September. Summer has the the best weather conditions - which is also the best time to see humpback whales on your Alaskan cruise. In the spring the wildflowers are in bloom and the abundant wildlife will make lifelong memories and amazing photograph opportunities. An Alaskan cruise holiday will be one you will remember always and talk about for the rest of your life. A cruise will give you a view that most people will never see.
There is one experience on a cruise to Alaska that you will not experience anywhere else; visiting one of the many glaciers that tumble directly into the sea. You can watch from on board ship as huge chunks of ice break free from the glaciers face and plunge into the water or you can take a guided trip and actually walk across this vast moving river of ice.
