Are Alaska cruises rough?


If you are considering an Alaska cruise and are concerned about motion on the ocean, choosing the "best" times to sail should be a consideration. But anytime you are out on the ocean, there will be some movement.


How are Alaska Cruises?


In my opinion, amazing! But what you are hoping for needs to be considered. Wildlife, glaciers, mountains, and more. It is a bucket list destination.


 When do Alaska cruises start?


 Cruising typically start around mid-April. With peak season being the summer months.


Where do Alaska cruises leave from?


There are lots of cruise port options for an Alaskan cruise. From ports in Alaska, Vancouver, and Seattle being a few.


Who cruises Alaska?


Many cruiselines have ships sailing in Alaska.  Depending on the type of experience you are looking for, as well as your wants and needs, there is sure to be an option that suits you.


Which Alaska cruises go to Glacier Bay?


Several lines have Glacier Bay as part of their itinerary. Choose an itinerary with this destination for scenic cruising. Be aware that occasionally outside factors can change itineraries.   


 


 Will there be another world cruise? Absolutely, world cruises have become very popular. If you decide you would like to do a world cruise booking early is imperative. I can assist with options and details.


Which world cruise is the best? There are several to choose from, so it comes down to what your desired experience is.  If you have experienced the cruise lines offering the world cruise you should have an idea of the onboard experience. If there are some you are unfamiliar with it is time to enlist the help of a Travel Professional. I would be thrilled to take a look at some world cruise options to see which is best suited to your wants and needs.


How much does a world cruise cost?  That will depend on the cruise line selected and what is included,  the stateroom category you desire as well as the length of the sailing. World cruises can be done in shorter segments which is often easier for those still working and more affordable. For those who can work anywhere and/or are retired, finding the world cruise that suits your needs and budget may require some assistance.

Even COVID couldn’t diminish the magic of Disney!
Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance! Andrea is amazing at what she does and a great person! I can’t wait to book with her again!!
