Alaska is one of the best places to go for a quick and relaxing vacation, whether alone and away from the pressures of work or with someone really special on a Honeymoon. Untouched by the grind work of city life, Alaska is a beauteous setting for a temporary sabbatical, where you can just be yourself, go to places you have never seen before, do things that you have not done before and have fun like you have never done before.

But of course, before packing those bags and catching the next freight, there are some things that you have to know when going to an Alaskan Cruise. Below are some of the frequently asked questions about the cruise. Read on and you might find something useful for your upcoming trip.

What’s the best time to go to Alaska?

The best times are in between May and September because these are the months when there are few people taking vacations. You can save a lot of money in these lean months. Another good season is from mid-June to the middle of August because the wildflowers will be in full bloom by this time. This is especially great when you are traveling with your children. These flower months will be a good sight for them.

June and July is also good especially if you are interested in enjoying different activities. This is the time when the days are at their longest and the weather is at its warmest. If these months do not fit your schedule, it is better to ask your booking agent for activities and attractions in some months. For sure, there will be something in Alaska that you can enjoy doing.

What cruise line is the best?

There are a lot of ships that sail to Alaska. Among them are the Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruises, among others. When booking your trip make sure that you ask for some discounts as there are ships that offer them.

There are also smaller ships that can provide you with a more intimate view of the place. In fact, there are some places in Alaska, where only a small ship can go in and explore. Passengers can go into small piers and take a walk in the smaller villages. They can even share the waterways with locals. If you want a more casual feel, a smaller cruise ship will be good for you.

How long will the cruise last?

The length of the vacation will actually depend on you. If you want to just go there for a short time, there are cruise ships that offer trips that last for about a week. Others offer longer vacation trips, sometimes as long as a month. Of course, you will not only factor the time element here but also the financial side. Remember, the longer you stay in the ship, the more money you will have to spend.

Passengers are also given the option to extend their trips should they wish to continue with it after seeing the other sights. Before booking with a cruise line, make sure that you are aware of this option so that you’ll know if you can extend or not.

There are also cruise tours at land, where you can visit places that cruise ships will not be able to go into. Places such as the Denali National Park and the Mt. McKinley are just some of the sights that you can go to when in a land tour. These kinds of tours can last from about three days to a maximum of 16 days. It may be taken before or after your cruise line tour.
