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.
