Stretching beyond the Arctic Circle to the North, southwards
along the Pacific coast and reaching out into the Bering Sea to the
West, Alaska's landscape is extraordinarily varied and contains
half the world's glaciers, and is home to some incredible wildlife.
And, an Alaska cruise with Silversea
perfectly balances the endless adventures on offer ashore with
onboard luxury, with a cosmopolitan and sophisticated passenger
mix. Relaxed, open seating dining - offering a multitude of truly
excellent options - and an open bar results in a laid-back house
party style, with spacious suites offering fabulous amenities and
butler service.
Silversea's Alaska itineraries are perfectly curated to explore
the region's remoteness, from icons such as the Hubbard Glacier,
the largest tidewater glacier in North America where giant icebergs
regularly calve into the waters, to the fascinating former frontier
towns. Whilst the key towns and ports of call are bustling and
busy, on a Silversea Alaska cruise you'll find yourself off the
beaten track in no time. Voyages depart between May and September
for mostly either
7 or 14 nights and usually depart from either Seward - the
gateway to the Kenai Fjords National Park that offers fantastic sea
life and stunning natural beauty - or Canada's eminently liveable
Vancouver, which boasts a superb culinary scene with seafood galore
and a strong Asian influence.
The majority of Silversea's Alaska voyages depart on 596-guest
Silver Moon, which is home to the fabulous S.A.L.T. (Sea and
Land Taste) programme on board aiming to immerse guests in the
culinary traditions of each region, or the incredible new 728-guest
Silver Nova, featuring hybrid technology, sumptuous suites and
the largest capacity of any Silversea ship to date. There's lots on
offer for adventurous travellers with Silversea, such as hikes
ashore with expert guides who will introduce them to ancient
forests and a rich cultural history, as well as options for
kayaking, white water rafting, dog sledding, float plane rides and
heli-hiking on a glacier.
