The regions

Which part of Alaska should you visit?

Alaska is larger than Texas, California and Montana combined, so most travelers focus on a few regions. Your advisor helps you choose the right mix for your time and interests.

Fishing boats in a harbor below snow-capped mountains in Southeast Alaska

Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula

Alaska’s largest city is the gateway to Seward, Kenai Fjords National Park and the tidewater glaciers of Prince William Sound.

Timing

When is the best time to visit Alaska?

Most Alaska trips run from May to September, when cruise ships sail the Inside Passage and the days are long. Winter is the season for the northern lights.

Spring

Cruise season opens in May, with fewer visitors and wildlife emerging after winter.

Summer

The warmest weather and longest days, ideal for Denali, glaciers and cruisetours.

Autumn

Fall colors and quieter trails in September, and the first northern lights in the Interior.

Winter

Northern lights, dog mushing and snow activities around Fairbanks.

Questions

Questions travelers ask about Alaska

For cruises, Denali and most sightseeing, May to September. June and July bring the longest days and warmest weather. For the northern lights, plan a trip to Fairbanks between late August and April.

A cruise is the easiest way to see the Inside Passage, glaciers and coastal towns like Juneau and Ketchikan. A cruisetour adds several days on land in Denali and Fairbanks. We help you decide which suits your time and interests.

Denali is often hidden by clouds, so we suggest more than one chance to see it: a flightseeing trip from Talkeetna, a glacier landing or a few nights near Denali National Park.

Fairbanks sits beneath the auroral oval and is one of the best places in North America to see the northern lights, typically from late August to April.

A land trip within Alaska does not require a passport for U.S. citizens. Many Alaska cruises begin or end in Vancouver, Canada, so we recommend a valid passport. We confirm the requirements for your itinerary.

Brown bears, moose, caribou, bald eagles, humpback whales, orcas and sea otters are among the wildlife travelers see, depending on the region and season.
