Seattle and Alaska Cruise
Embark on an unforgettable adventure aboard an Alaska Cruise that blends the vibrant energy of Seattle with the awe-inspiring beauty of America’s Last Frontier. This 9-night holiday escape—featuring a two-night stay in Seattle followed by a spectacular seven-night cruise onboard Norwegian Bliss—captures the heart of the Pacific Northwest and the rugged charm of Alaska. It’s the perfect mix of modern luxury, breathtaking scenery, and exhilarating exploration.
Your journey begins with two incredible nights in Seattle, Washington, a city known for its iconic skyline, thriving arts scene, and stunning waterfront views. Spend your days discovering the famous Pike Place Market, taking in panoramic vistas from the Space Needle, or indulging in the city’s world-class restaurants and craft coffee culture. By the time you board Norwegian Bliss, you’ll already be immersed in the spirit of adventure.
As your Alaska Cruise departs the Emerald City, step out on deck with a warm drink in hand and watch the Seattle skyline fade into distant mountain horizons. The journey north promises untouched wilderness, shimmering glaciers, and spectacular moments at every turn.
Your first port is Sitka, a captivating destination where Tlingit traditions and Russian heritage create a unique coastal blend. Explore Sitka National Historical Park, encounter rescued eagles at the Alaska Raptor Center, or join a wildlife excursion in search of whales, otters, and soaring eagles.
Next, your Alaska Cruise arrives in Juneau, Alaska’s scenic capital. Here you can marvel at the mighty Mendenhall Glacier, embark on a whale-watching expedition, or ride the Mount Roberts Tramway for sweeping views of forested peaks and icy waterways. Juneau offers endless ways to connect with the raw beauty of Alaska.
One of the most breathtaking highlights of your journey is exploring Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier. As your ship glides through a narrow fjord framed by towering cliffs and drifting ice, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of Dawes Glacier—an immense wall of ancient blue ice. Listen for the thunderous crack of calving ice as you experience one of nature’s most powerful displays right from the comfort of your ship.
Your next stop is Icy Strait Point, an authentic Alaskan port rich with wildlife and cultural heritage. Whether you’re seeking adventure on the world-famous ZipRider, looking for bears along forest trails, or simply soaking in the pristine landscapes, Icy Strait Point perfectly captures the spirit of the wilderness.
From there, Norwegian Bliss sails to Ketchikan (Ward Cove), known as the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Discover the charming boardwalks of Creek Street, admire traditional totem poles, or join an excursion into the ethereal Misty Fjords. Ketchikan’s vibrant culture and natural beauty make it a guest favorite.
Before returning to the U.S., your Alaska Cruise includes a delightful stop in Victoria, British Columbia. With elegant architecture, flower-lined streets, and sparkling harbor views, Victoria offers a graceful blend of British charm and coastal sophistication. Explore the famous Butchart Gardens or stroll along the waterfront for a picture-perfect evening.
Finally, your voyage returns to Seattle, where your incredible 9-night adventure concludes. You’ll step off the ship with memories of glacier-carved fjords, lively port towns, thrilling wildlife encounters, and the peaceful rhythm of life at sea.
Throughout your Alaska Cruise on Norwegian Bliss, you’ll enjoy exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, and world-class dining that elevate every moment. Whether you’re sailing past towering glaciers or savoring fresh, local seafood, this journey is more than a holiday—it’s a breathtaking experience through some of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth.
