Alaska Summer 2026 highlights

• Voyager of the Seas – From Seattle
  For seven nights, vacationers can marvel at Alaska’s scenic landscapes as they venture to Dawes Glacier, Endicott Arm fjord, Juneau, Sitka and Skagway, as well as Icy Strait Point. Families and friends also have a variety of ways to make memories together and on their own adventures while on Voyager, including racing down the three-story Perfect Storm waterslides, going head-to-head at glow-in-the-dark laser tag in Battle for Planet Z and ice skating. To dial it down, there’s the relaxing adults-only, indoor-outdoor Solarium and the Vitality Spa and Fitness Center to enjoy while the youngest of the group can make friends in the dedicated kids and teens spaces. And in between, everyone can enjoy bites of all kinds like Italian at Giovanni’s Table and prime cuts at Chops Grille, as well as handcrafted cocktails and zero-proof sips at Schooner Bar and R Bar.
• Ovation of the Seas – From Seward and Vancouver
  Taking exploration to the next level, Ovation returns as the first in the action-packed Quantum Class lineup with immersive overnight adventures on land, Cruisetours. The alternating northbound and southbound vacations that start in Seward or Vancouver are seven to 13 nights of awe-inspiring wonders in Juneau, Sitka and Skagway, and majestic views for miles in between like Hubbard Glacier, one of the state’s largest tidewater glaciers. Travelers can linger longer before or after with Cruisetour experiences like trekking the tundra wilderness, taking in views from glass-domed rail cars and meeting professional dog sledders and their dog team. The memory-making continues on Ovation with adventures like the RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator, the all-glass North Star observation capsule with 360-degree views and Splashaway Bay kids aquapark, to name a few. And there are 20-plus spots to dine, drink and celebrate any occasion or just getting away, from Tuscan favorites at Jamie’s Italian to sushi, sashimi and more flavors from the Far East at Izumi.
• Anthem of the Seas – From Seattle
  The favorite summer anthem takes the stage again with 7-night vacations from Seattle to explore the state’s beauty, like the rich culture of Gold Rush-era town Skagway and the wildlife in Sitka, which can include whales, raptors and bears. Vacationers can also take in the stunning views of the fjords of Endicott Arm, Dawes Glacier and the mountain-framed capital city of Juneau. Adventures, show-stopping entertainment and more are around every corner on Anthem, from SeaPlex – the largest indoor activity space at sea – that features bumper cars, a sports court and more to the FlowRider surf simulator alongside the RipCord by iFly, and Olivier Award-winning musical “We Will Rock You.” And making memories over shared meals is always on the menu with more than 20 restaurants, bars and lounges, including spots like Jamie’s Italian, Izumi and American steakhouse Chops Grille.

  Perfect for prime views of the ocean and the untouched landscapes, Serenade brings the outside in with acres of panoramic windows for vacationers to take in the sights in between destinations and passages like Icy Strait Point, the majestic Inside Passage, Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka and Tracy Arm fjord. The adventures on deck as they go from one place to the next range from rock climbing and poolside movie nights under the stars to relaxing in the Vitality Spa.
