5 Star Alaska Cruise Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier
This incredible 7-night Alaska cruise Endicott Arm offers travellers the chance to witness some of the most dramatic natural scenery on the planet. This Escorted Tour starts with your flight from Dublin to Seattle, where you will board the Star Princess, a modern vessel designed to bring the outside in. The ship features unique glass spheres that provide panoramic views of the icy landscapes as you sail north. This is a straightforward, well-organised holiday that prioritises comfort and factual discovery without unnecessary fuss.
During your time in Alaska, you will visit Ketchikan, known for its extensive collection of totem poles and colourful history. One of the primary highlights is the scenic cruise through Endicott Arm to the Dawes Glacier. Here, you will see the blue-tinged ice of the tidewater glaciers and perhaps witness the spectacular sight of ice calving into the water. The area is protected as part of the Tongass National Forest, making it a reliable spot for viewing local wildlife such as seals and bald eagles in their natural environment.
The journey also includes stops in Juneau and Skagway. Juneau, the Alaskan capital, offers a mix of political history and outdoor adventure, while Skagway provides a fascinating look at the Klondike gold rush through its preserved buildings and boardwalks. Before returning to Seattle, the ship stops in Victoria, Canada, where you can enjoy the traditional British atmosphere and well-kept gardens. With flights, transfers, and full-board dining included, this cruise represents great value for those looking to see the highlights of the North with everything organised for them.
