A luxury cruise vacation was once the sole preserve of the rich and the famous so a cruise budget was the last thing to consider. You really did used to have to be very wealthy to say bon voyage and sail of on a magical cruise vacation. For the poorer people there was an underclass of cabin down below but the two classes would hardly ever meet on board.

Looking for an exotic travel location that is thrilling and luxurious? Alaskan cruises have surged in popularity in recent years, and demand to see America’s last unspoiled frontier continues to grow. Alaskan Cruises only operate between the months of May and September or early October and tend to follow one of two principal routes; the Gulf of Alaska or the Inside Passage.

Anchorage is the starting (or ending) point for many Alaskan cruises, but most passengers actually board or disemabark their ships from Seward (125 miles sounth on Resurrection Bay). Alaskan cruises may also start in the town of Vancouver BC.
