...We’re flipping the script on Alaska cruises. This isn’t the overcrowded, cookie-cutter version you’ve heard about — this is raw nature, off-the-beaten-path ports, and real connections with the land, locals, and legends. It’s the last frontier, but with better food, cooler excursions, and no kids splashing in the hot tub.
Alaska Cruise Iteneraries with Stunning Beauty
Our Alaska sailings are mostly one-way — that means we go deeper, skip the usual stops, and sail to places like Sitka, Haines, and Prince Rupert. These towns bring you closer to Indigenous culture, wildlife you won’t see anywhere else, and real small-town vibes. Fewer crowds, more wow.
Shore Things You’ll Actually Talk About
You can hop a seaplane over glacier fields, zipline through rainforests, or kayak through icy fjords. And yes, you can also meet sled dogs (puppy cuddles highly recommended). Each shore experience is curated for memory-making — not just a photo op.
It’s Still a Virgin Voyage - Luxury Included
Even surrounded by glaciers and bald eagles, you’ll still get all the things that elevate your cruise, the Virgin Voyages difference — 20+ onboard eateries, WiFi, fitness classes, and all your basic drinks included. So your wild Alaska trip still feels a lot like luxury.
Plan Your Arctic Escape
From glacier flyovers to spa nights on board, our 2026 Alaska cruises give you the bucket-list trip without sacrificing style, comfort, or grown-up energy. You in? Book early & save on Alaska cruises.
