Why A Cruisetour
Experience more of Alaska’s iconic Wilderness, Wildlife, Mountains and Glaciers.
An Alaska cruise delivers jaw dropping views along the state’s spectacular southeastern coastline, with towering glaciers, dramatic fjords, and wildlife around every turn. But a Royal Caribbean® Cruisetour takes the adventure even further.
Go beyond the coast and journey deep into Alaska’s legendary interior. Explore the Kenai Peninsula, where glacier capped peaks rise above pristine bays teeming with marine life. Travel farther north into the vast wilderness of Denali National Park, where sweeping tundra and taiga forests stretch as far as the eye can see. One road leads through this untamed landscape to North America’s tallest peak and unforgettable encounters with Alaska’s iconic wildlife.
With a Royal Caribbean Cruisetour, you don’t just see Alaska. You experience more of it. Seamlessly combining an unforgettable cruise with an immersive inland journey, it’s the ultimate way to explore the Last Frontier.
A visit to Seward on the Kenai Peninsula will reveal even more of Alaska’s wild glacial beauty. Located at the end of Resurrection Bay—a long fjord on the peninsula—Seward is surrounded by towering, snow‑capped mountains, while Kenai Fjords National Park and the vast glaciers of the Harding Icefield are just a boat ride away.
Pristine environmental conditions make Alaska well known for its abundant wildlife. Alaska's parks provide you with up-close experiences with wildlife unlike anywhere else in the country. Denali National Park, one of Alaska's premiere sites for wildlife viewing, encompasses 6 million acres of wild lands. In these wild unencumbered spaces, Caribou feed along the northern slopes, Grizzly bears munch on berries, Dall sheep graze in the mountains, moose forage in the shrubs and wolves roam across the tundra. In the waters and coastline of Kenai Fjords National Park humpback whales are known to breach, Steller sea lions lounge on rocky outcroppings and pods of Orca’s swim.
With thirty different mountain ranges and the top ten tallest peaks in North America, Alaska is a land of spectacular peaks and valleys. The Alaska Range reaches from the coastline to the interior regions. Journeying to the interior of Alaska on a Cruisetour affords the opportunity to view the tallest peak in North America, it towers over the surrounding Alaska Range rising to 20,320 feet, the view on a clear day is an intensely impressive sight.
Massive open spaces, ancient forests, soaring mountains and salmon-filled rivers create exceptionally rugged, untamed beauty. Alaska has more than 57 million acres of wilderness: watersheds, mountain ranges, glaciers, wetlands, coastlines, volcanoes, tundra, and forests. Exploring the interior of Alaska on a Cruisetour opens up the possibility to visit iconic Alaskan wilderness like Denali National Park, Kenai Fjord National Park, Kachemak Bay State Park and Katmai National Park.
