CRUISE OVERVIEW (VERY IMPORTANT)
Alaska cruising is about scenery and silence, not nightlife or beaches.
The ship moves slowly through fjords and icefields, often pausing near glaciers for extended viewing. This is why balcony cabins matter more here than anywhere else.
Ports are small, authentic, and excursion-driven. Sea days are not “empty” — they are the highlight, dedicated to glacier viewing and wildlife spotting. This cruise is seasonal, premium, and deeply rewarding when done correctly.
