ALASKA CRUISES
An Alaska cruise is the best way to explore the wilderness of this northernmost US state. On board MSC Poesia, featuring its brand-new MSC Yacht Club, you will sail through the Inside Passage – a 500-mile network of waterways formed by glaciers millions of years ago – affording views of picturesque fjords, the vast Tongass National Forest and over 1,000 islands.
On an Alaska cruise from Seattle, you can glimpse these natural wonders from the ship or on planned excursions. On a cruise to Alaska with MSC Cruises, you’ll sail past Tracy Arm fjord and bask in dramatic scenery: verdant cliffs, snow-covered mountains and floating icebergs.

ADVENTURE AWAITS ON ALASKA HOLIDAYS
Uncover the natural and cultural wonders of this wild land on one of our cruises to Alaska. Whether you’re interested in learning about the heritage of Alaska Natives through the totem poles of Ketchikan, going whale watching in Juneau or getting to know some grizzlies, experience it all with us.
Get ready to be awed by a Brown Bear
Icy Strait Point on Chichagof Island, for example, is a popular place for Brown Bear sightings, as is the beautiful Tracy Arm fjord. The good news is that with so many of these mighty and magnificent creatures living around the state, your chances of seeing one during an Alaskan holiday are surprisingly high.
Cultural carving: exploring Alaska Native totems
The Mosquito Legend Pole in Sitka, for example, tells the Tlingit legend of Gooteekhl, which explains the origin of mosquitoes. Ketchikan’s Totem Bight State Park is a great place to see them in all their regal glory during your Alaska cruise. Certainly give yourself enough time to stop off at the Totem Heritage Center for an in-depth exploration of their significance and, not least, to see the incredible crafts of the Indigenous peoples of this land.
Whale watching, gold mines and glaciers: exploring Juneau
The best thing about Juneau, though, has to be its unrivalled natural beauty and wildlife. Spot humpback whales in its nutrient-rich channels, go hiking up Mount Roberts or Mount Juneau, or explore some of the many glaciers at the sprawling 3,000-year-old Juneau Icefield – the most popular of which is, without doubt, Mendenhall Glacier. You can even combine history and nature by heading into the lush rainforest on a Gold Rush tour.
ALASKA PORTS
The embarkation port for our Alaskan cruises is Seattle – an ideal starting point given its coastal location close to Alaska. Booking on an Alaska cruise from Seattle means you get to explore this lively, thriving city in Washington State, as well as other destinations in Alaska.
