Which Virgin Voyages Alaska Cruise Itinerary Is Right For You?
NOT ALL ALASKA ITINERARIES ARE THE SAME
One of the most important things to know before booking Virgin Voyages Alaska is that the itineraries vary considerably by sailing date.
Some visit Hubbard Glacier. Others cruise Tracy Arm Fjord. Some include Juneau and Skagway, while others focus on Sitka, Ketchikan and the Inside Passage.
Choosing the right itinerary matters.
HUBBARD GLACIER
For the glacier WOW factor
Hubbard is enormous and is famous for its impressive ice face and potential calving activity.
If a client tells me:
“Seeing a huge glacier is one of the main reasons I'm going to Alaska.”
I'd give a Hubbard Glacier itinerary serious consideration.
Choosing the right itinerary matters.
Hubbard Glacier or Tracy arm Fjord?
They're different experiences, and your itinerary choice determines which one you may see.
* Glacier viewing and ship access are always subject to weather, ice and other operating conditions
TRACY ARM FJORD
For the scenery WOW factor
Tracy Arm is about the entire journey: steep mountains, waterfalls, floating ice and dramatic fjord scenery leading toward the glaciers.
Where Can Virgin take You In Alaska?
Also appearing on select itineraries: Prince Rupert and Victoria in British Columbia.
Some of the best moments in Alaska don't happen in port.
They happen while you're sailing.
Imagine waking up, grabbing a coffee and stepping onto your Sea Terrace as mountains and forests pass by. Or spotting wildlife without having to rush to a public deck.
A balcony isn't necessary to enjoy Alaska, but there are a few times you'll be especially glad you have one.
For Alaska, I think a balcony can be worth the splurge.
Is a Sea Terrace Worth It in Alaska?
When Is the Best Time to Cruise Alaska?
There isn't one "best" month.
The right month depends on whether your priority is weather, wildlife, crowds, daylight, scenery or price.
