Alaska and Canada Explorer Cruise Voyages – 2022
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Hurtigruten plans to restart expedition cruises in early 2021 with even stricter Covid-19 measures in place. This will include testing for all guests. Expedition cruises will only recommence where and when they believe it is safe. They will make decisions on each individual voyage, and update all booked guests on any changes. As of 03/08/2020, Hurtigruten has temporarily suspended all expedition sailings on MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen and MS Spitsbergen until further notice. In September it was decided to cancel all Antarctica departures for Winter 2020/21 season. Antarctic voyages will resume in October 2021.
Book early for a wide selection of Expedition Cruises in 2021, 2022 or 2023 and your flights from London could be included. (T&Cs apply)
BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE Offer: Book a NEW Hurtigruten voyage for travel in 2021, 2022 or 2023 to qualify. Cancel for ANY reason in the future and you'll get your deposit (less a small cancellation fee) back within 14 days. Book by 30 April 2021. (T&Cs apply)
Alaska is off the beaten track and remote. The breathtaking blend of dramatic fjords, icebergs and glaciers, and deep forests is Alaska’s signature, maybe only topped by the wildlife. So be prepared for an epic journey. Stay active with hikes, kayaking and boat cruising while scouting for magnificent creatures like bears, whales and eagles. Sail on Hurtigruten’s new hybrid powered ship, MS Roald Amundsen, which is better for the environment and the wildlife as well as providing a quieter and more luxurious cruise for you.
Approx Price from: €5000 per person sharing (plus flights & overnights en route)
Activities: Included & some optional (pay locally)
Destinations: Alaska, west coast Canada
Season: Summer
Types: Couples, Groups, Solo Travellers, Explorers
See Hurtigruten’s online brochures to discover more about their destinations, their ships and life on board during an Alaskan Explorer voyage.
Alaska is the largest state in the United States in area. It has the most glaciers in the nation, including the Hubbard glacier, the largest tidewater glacier in North America. Almost everywhere the backdrop is spectacular mountains with waterfalls, creeks and rivers, and the occasional volcano. The coastline is scattered with charming villages, abandoned towns and even bustling harbour towns. The best time to visit Alaska is during the short summer when the temperature can reach 18°C and the days are long with nearly 24 hours of daylight. Watch the video to find our more about what to expect on a cruise in Alaska.
To explore parts of east coast Canada, see some of the Greenland voyages. Note: we will update prices and offers on this website when regular sailings resume. In the meantime, please contact us for a quotation.
