Norwegian Cruise Line Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Norwegian has a long history of cruising from Seattle to Alaska, and helped open and expand the new Wilderness Landing pier at Icy Strait Point and the first of two gondola systems with the Alaska Nativeowned Huna Totem Corporation. Guests board Norwegian Bliss, Encore, Sun, Spirit, and Jewel in Seattle for 5- to 10- day cruises.
Harry Sommer, Norwegian’s president and CEO, takes pride in his line’s 22-year history cruising to Alaska, and says: “We christened the largest cruise ship in Seattle in 2018 with the debut of Norwegian Bliss.” That ship leaves Seattle to visit Dawes Glacier, Juneau, and Ketchikan through October 2022. Norwegian provides travelers with immersive experiences through Southeast Alaska, visiting natural wonders including the passage through the 25-million-acre World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park. The cruise line was granted access because of its environmental commitments focused on air emissions, waste, and wildlife protection. Other once-in- a- lifetime sites guests may visit include the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, which lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau.
Those sailing on the Norwegian Sun round-trip Seattle cruise will have the opportunity to see Alaska wildlife, glaciers, and rainforest while visiting the Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Ketchikan’s Ward Cove, and Victoria in British Columbia.
Families on Norwegian Encore will sail to Glacier Bay, Skagway, and Juneau from Seattle, while experiencing the largest race track at sea, and taking in the 180- degree views from the observation lounges.
