For advisors, the lineup offers several ways to tailor an Alaska vacation to clients’ priorities, whether they want to explore glacier-carved landscapes, visit historic coastal communities, spot wildlife or combine a cruise with a deeper look at Alaska’s interior.

Four Ships, Three Departure Ports

Royal Caribbean’s 2028 Alaska itineraries vary by ship and departure port, giving advisors options to consider when matching clients with their preferred route and onboard experience.

Anthem of the Seas: Seward and Vancouver

Operating from May through September, Anthem of the Seas will offer 7-night cruises from Seward and Vancouver, along with 2- to 6-night Cruisetours that can extend the vacation before or after the sailing. Select land experiences include visits to Denali National Park.

Shore excursions can take clients to Hubbard Glacier and Ketchikan, where options include fishing, kayaking, hiking and zip lining.

Ovation of the Seas: Seattle

The newly amplified Ovation of the Seas will sail 7-night Alaska itineraries from Seattle between May and September. Ports and scenic destinations include Sitka, Skagway and Juneau, as well as Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier.

Serenade of the Seas: Vancouver

From May through September, Serenade of the Seas will offer 7-night sailings from Vancouver. The itineraries provide opportunities to explore Alaska’s temperate rainforests, rugged mountains and wildlife-rich coastline, with experiences in Icy Strait Point and Juneau, as well as a stop in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

Voyager of the Seas: Seattle

For clients looking to travel earlier in the season, Voyager of the Seas will begin its Alaska program in April, with 7-night sailings from Seattle running through September.

Itineraries include Sitka, Juneau and Skagway, along with Victoria, British Columbia. Guests may encounter wildlife such as grizzly bears, harbor seals and bald eagles while exploring the region’s coastal landscapes and historic sites.

Extending an Alaska Cruise 

For clients who want to spend more time exploring inland Alaska, Royal Caribbean’s Cruisetours offer a way to pair a sailing with additional land experiences. Advisors can consider these options for travelers interested in destinations such as Denali National Park and a more extensive Alaska itinerary.
