Life Cruises - Vessels have been hand-selected for their ability to navigate the oceans' most terrific passageways and explore isolated regions that are out of reach to the large cruiselines and traditional means of travel. Antarctica Luxury Ships - These Antarctic cruise ships offer 5-star amenities but still allow travelers the opportunity for adventurous land excursions and close wildlife viewing without sacrificing the comforts normally found on larger cruise ships. |

Alaska Cruises:
The Best Months are June-August though the season runs from May to September. Remember that glaciers have their own micro-climate so there are no sunshine guarantees, even if port area weather is fine.
Cruises generally run for either 7 days or 14 days and leave mainly from Vancouver in Canada or Seattle in USA, though San Fransisco and Los Angeles are used from time to time.
Shore activities include guided glacier walking, dog sledding, train rides (especially the White Pass and Yukon Railroad, see photo above) and kayaking. Pricey flights by helicopter and float planes are also usually offered but beware changeable weather conditions near glaciers.
Adventure Life offer 9 different Alaska Cruises:
An Alaska cruise takes travelers into an untamed wilderness and allows up-close experiences with the natural wonders of this ecological hotspot.
Wildlife sightings seem limitless and the landscape is as wild as the animals that roam the region. Discover isolated inlets only accessible by sea – zodiacs and kayaks will take you through a labyrinth of glaciers, icebergs, fjords and rivers.
A cruise of Alaska includes trips to the famous Prince William Sound, Glacier Bay, Point Adolphus and Denali Park where travelers enjoy activities such as river rafting, horseback riding and hiking in the shadow of Mount McKinley.
