​How To Choose Your Alaska Cruisetour

Norwegian offers several exciting Cruisetours to help you make the most of your Alaskan adventure. Here are some tips to help you choose one that aligns with your interests and maximizes your time:

• Consider the length of the Cruisetour: Norwegian's Cruisetours range from 11 to 14 days. If time is limited, consider shorter options, such as the Anchorage Denali Express Cruisetour. If you can indulge a bit longer, check out the Authentic Alaska Cruisetour for a more comprehensive experience.
• Focus on your interests: Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or a history buff, Norwegian has a Cruisetour for you. For example, our Denali by Rail Explorer Cruisetour is the perfect option if you're interested in trains, while our Denali/Valdez Explorer Cruisetour is ideal if you're eager to explore marine and glacier landscapes.
• Review the activity agenda: Each Cruisetour offers unique activities, so if meeting the Iditarod sled dogs sounds thrilling, double-check to make sure it's on the agenda for your selected Cruisetour. If seeing the midnight sun is on your bucket list, we recommend our Fairbanks Denali Express Cruisetour.
• Choose your accommodations: From moderate hotels to deluxe resorts such as Hotel Alyeska, Norwegian's Cruisetours offer a wide range of accommodations to match your preferences and budget.
• Pay attention to timing and weather: Consider the time of year you plan to travel to Alaska on your cruise vacation, as weather can significantly influence your experience. Late spring through summer offers warmer temperatures and a chance to see the breathtaking midnight sun.

​Immerse Yourself in Alaska's Rich Culture

Beyond the stunning landscapes and wildlife encounters, Norwegian's Alaska Cruisetours offer unique, culturally immersive experiences. With visits to native heritage centers and the opportunity to participate in traditional cultural activities such as totem carving and native dance performances, you can gain insights into Alaska's rich history, traditions, and lifestyle.
