The primary tourist season in Alaska runs from May to September with peak season being June to August. The weather in Alaska can be unpredictable but by mid-June, all summer activities are open and available. The cruise season operates over the same months. Mid-June to mid-July is considered to be the height of summer and so demand and prices will be higher then too. More competitive pricing may be found in early May at the beginning of the season and towards the end, in late September.
You can see a lot in 7 days in Alaska and it is a popular length for many itineraries, giving you a great overview of Alaska's breathtaking scenery and exciting experiences. Combining a land journey with a cruise of the Inside Passage will offer a more extensive exploration of Alaska's unique landscapes and culture while giving you another amazing perspective as you cruise past densely forested islands, coastal bays, fjords and waterways. With many of the longer itineraries starting or finishing in Vancouver you get the chance to extend your Alaska travels into Canada as well.
