Taking a cruise for your honeymoon provides an opportunity for you to start your married life in a state of relaxation and Alaska has some of the most scenic and unspoiled vistas you will ever get to experience. Cruising past ancient glaciers and under soaring bald eagles can only be done in Alaska. Most Alaskan cruises are 7 night cruises, but some are 12 night cruise tours that will also take you to places like Denali National Park.

Cruising presents the comfort of five star luxury accommodations and provides unending excitement, adventure, the opportunity to get to know each other and to make new friends aboard your sea adventure.

Typical ports of call include:
Juneau ? The capital of Alaska offers world class hiking through glacial waterfalls and trough the largest temperate rain forest in the state.

Ketchikan ? When you visit Ketchikan no visit is complete without visiting the totem pole museum where you can lean about the purposes of the totem poles, and how they were made. Be sure to have an umbrella when you are in Ketchikan, it is the rainiest city in the United States.

Skagway ? When gold was discovered in Canada's Yukon Territory in 1898, Skagway became the launching point for many gold seekers. While in Skagway be sure to ride the famous White Pass and Yukon Railroad and visit the Red Onion Saloon.

Destination options in Alaska include glacier hiking, whale watching, bear watching, fishing and of course shopping. For the truly adventurous you can follow the footsteps of the Klondike gold rush miners up the White Pass. All cruise lines offering honeymoon packages have exquisitely appointed suites, gyms, swimming pools, spas, salons, shopping and casinos to pamper the cruiser and energize the mind, body and spirit.

There's no need to be concerned that you won't know what to do or what to bring on a cruise, there are many resources available online and directly with the cruise line to assist you in packing, activities planning and leisure options. And fear not, should you forget to pack an item for your honeymoon, the cruise ship will have shops onboard at which you can purchase anything from basic necessities to luxury items and souvenirs for friends back home.

Considering the option of only having to unpack once, visiting multiple locations, and being able to spend some quality time with your new spouse aboard a self-sufficient floating city, you can't go wrong cruising to Alaska on your honeymoon!
