How to Save on Alaska Cruises

• Early May and late September: The Alaska season runs May through September. Shoulder weeks at the start and end offer the best prices -- sometimes 30-40% less than peak July sailings. Wildlife viewing is actually better in early season.
• Seattle vs. Vancouver: Cruises from Seattle are often cheaper (no passport needed for some itineraries) and have lower port fees. Vancouver sailings tend to be pricier but may offer different itineraries.
• Inside cabins are fine for Alaska: Controversial opinion, but hear us out: you'll spend most of your time on the top decks watching glaciers and wildlife, not in your cabin. The money saved on an inside can fund a helicopter or whale watching excursion instead.
• Book early for best prices: Unlike Caribbean cruises, Alaska prices tend to go UP as the departure date approaches. The limited season means fewer opportunities to discount. Booking 6-9 months ahead usually gets the best rate.
