Alaska Cruises Central

Round-trip passengers on one-week Alaska cruises embark at Seattle, Wash., or in Vancouver, British Columbia. The routes usually run the length of the Inside Passage and back.

One-way passengers often board at Seattle or Vancouver and travel as far as Seward or Whittier, Alaska. Once they’re back on land, they board a bus, train or car for their further travel and usually fly home from Anchorage or Fairbanks. The trip is also made in reverse for south-bound travelers.
