Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruises

Gazing across its snow-capped mountains or exploring its lush green forests, guests exploring Alaska will quickly understand why it is such a popular place to cruise. Its landscapes and ports are beautiful and diverse, and with Royal Caribbean, days spent sailing along Alaska’s dramatic coastline become part of the fun.

Why Sail with Royal Caribbean to Alaska?

It’s one of the most popular destinations for guests seeking adventure, and Alaska is just as impressive as everyone imagines. Not only are its mountain ranges, glaciers and forests just as stunning in real life, but its diverse cultures and wildlife activity fill the region with wonderful life and energy.

On a Royal Caribbean ship, guests can sail through Alaska’s waters while experiencing all of the luxuries that come with modern cruising. This cruise line makes days exhilarating with waterslides, ziplines and pools, and every evening springs into life thanks to extraordinary Broadway-style shows and heart-racing acrobatics performances.

What Are the Best Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruise Destinations?

On a Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise, guests can set sail on a journey that combines natural immersion with the history of the towns and cities that call this wilderness home. No matter the itinerary, every port has its own story to tell. Here are some of the top ports that guests can reach on a Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise:

Sitka

With its freshwater lakes, tumbling rivers and gentle streams, Sitka puts Alaska’s natural beauty on full display. Guests can explore the port’s complex history of Tlingit, Russian and American influences through the architecture, landmarks and events they discover during their stay.

Skagway

The picturesque town of Skagway is a historical treasure trove that enhances any Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise itinerary. A time capsule of the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s, its preserved downtown area and railroad bring the story of a bygone era to life.

Juneau

As the scenic capital of Alaska, guests will have no difficulty understanding why Juneau holds such a stellar reputation. The scale and power of Mount Roberts are enough to take the breath away, and the sheer scale of the 13-mile-long Mendenhall Glacier will leave a lasting impression on every cruiser who sees it.

Ketchikan

Step into the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’ and experience authentic Alaskan culture in Ketchikan. Guests can explore the wooden shops and restaurants that populate its charming streets, and there are a variety of scenic trails available for exploring the neighbouring Tongass National Forest.
