Now is prime time to consider a spring, summer or fall Alaskan cruise if you are planning it for 2010. All cruise lines suffered with slow Alaska bookings in 2009, but 2 things are happening now: (1) bookings are improving, and yet (2) cruise lines have fabulous specials! This won't continue long, as some lines are offering selected dates of combination cruise and land tours of up to 50% off. There are fabulous 12-day cruise/tours, round trip from Seattle, which include land rail and luxury motor coach to Denali for late spring.
Alaskans say that late spring is your best weather chance of seeing the awesome mountain clearly from afar. Princess has the closest lodge to Denali (which is what locals call Mt. Whitney), and it is inside the National Park. Other cruise lines offer one-way cruises from Seattle or Vancouver, with return flight to your home gateway from Alaska. There are so many possible itineraries - if you have ever wanted to see Alaska now is the time to book it. Please call us - we can help!
