It's not too early to start thinking about summer, and cruising has never been more affordable. If you avoid July and August, cruises to Alaska can be very economical. If you've never been, now is the time to go. Due to melting ice, it is reported by people who were there ten years ago that the landscape has changed drastically.
Princess (www.princesscruises.com) has some fantastic offers. A seven day Voyage of the Glaciers fares start at $349 for an inside cabin, $699 for outside cabins with balcony. They also throw in a small shipboard credit.
Celebrity Cruises (www.celebritycruises.com)has some good deals, too. A seven day Inside Passage cruise in June is $908 for an ocean view cabin, which includes a shipboard credit.
Holland America (www.hollandamericacruises.com) has a similar cruise in June with ocean view cabins starting at $699, plus a shipboard credit.
There are numerous other cruise lines in Alaska in the summer months, both large and small. Many people prefer the smaller ships for a very different experience. My favorite company is Cruise West (www.cruisewest.com). They focus more on shore excursions and lectures by naturalists. The accomodations are usually more basic and there is very little entertainment. Their motto is "up close and personal." Whichever cruise you choose, get out and see these natural wonders while they're still here.
