Small Ship ALASKA CRUISES

 

Windstar Knows the Way to Alaska

BRING ALASKA’S WILD BEAUTY INTO FOCUS as you discover small towns and big cities, cruise far up narrow fjords to the twin Sawyer Glaciers, and launch Zodiacs right from the ship into pristine wilderness on Windstar Signature Expeditions. Star Seeker will get you closer to scenic shorelines along the Inside Passage,and you’ll enjoy the best wildlife viewing opportunities as we adjust our schedule to linger whenever whales are present. Experience more of Alaska with an extended stay Cruise Tour to Denali and stand in the enormity of North America’s tallest peak.

See The Alaska No Other Cruise Line Can Show You
All of our Alaska itineraries feature onboard expedition experts who spend one-on-one time with guests providing insight on glaciers, culture, and wildlife and lead optional Signature Expedition tours on Zodiacs and kayaks.
Star Seeker's Inaugural Season
Join Star Seeker on her inaugural season. Nearly all 112 suites come with a full private veranda or a floor-to-ceiling infinity window, perfect for watching the Alaskan wilderness and glaciers passing by from the comfort of your suite.
Signature Expeditions
You’ll enjoy the company of eight onboard experts for the full length of your voyage. You can casually ask questions and visit with these authorities on marine biology, botany, history, glaciology, and more whenever your curiosity is aroused. In addition to scheduled presentations and getting to know our guests’ interests better, they lead small groups on hikes and on expeditions by kayak and Zodiac — sometimes launching straight from our yacht in remote places like Misty Fjords and Kenai Fjord where this type of excursion is rare and requires guests to go ashore first. That’s the intimate and engaging experience you get on a Windstar Signature Expedition.
Get Closer
FOLLOW SILENT DEER PATHS through lush coastal forest, find rivers churning with spawning salmon, and spot mountain goats perched precariously on mountain ledges the size of a quarter. Go where cities give way to tiny native villages and close-knit frontier communities. Cruise the cliff-walled fjords of Kenai Fjords listening for the “white thunder” of glaciers calving into nutrient-rich water, and idle off Point Adolphus watching humpback whales breach. From the lush island scenery of the Inside Passage to the wildlife-rich wilderness of Denali National Park, this is the Alaska you came to see.
You've Never Seen Alaska Like This
Visit small and less-visited ports of call like Wrangell and Haines. Get closer to the twin Sawyer Glaciers on our yacht, which can navigate further up the narrow fjord.
Featured Port: Sitka, Alaska
This humble port city was once the capital of Russian America, and was where the official transfer of Alaska took place in 1867. Explore the Russian and Tlingit cultures that influenced its growth, capture an iconic photo of the Russian Orthodox church, or head to the Alaska Raptor Center for a close-up look at bald eagles and other birds of prey.
Shore Excursion Must-Do: Taku Glacier & Airboat Adventure (Juneau)
Alaska is awesome from any angle, but it’s especially amazing from the sky. Flying high above Juneau in your helicopter it’s all laid out like a quilt below you: The green velvet of Tongass National Forest, the white Juneau Ice Field, blue Gastineau Channel and Taku River. Landing at Taku Point, board a covered airboat for an exhilarating ride along the edge of Taku Glacier within an arm’s reach of the ice. Then it’s back to your helicopter for an effortless climb and landing on top of the glacier.
