Cunard has announced the launch of its Alaska 2025 season. Sailing round-trip from Seattle, the luxury cruise line revealed that Queen Elizabeth will offer 11 voyages in Alaska, ranging from seven to 11 nights, from June 12 until September 25. The cruises will include Alaska Native Voices onboard, including a Cultural Heritage Guide, plus a Naturalist on every sailing to provide distinctive deck commentary.
With 24 late evening departures, guests will have an abundance of time to explore port cities such as Ketchikan, adorned with colorful totem poles, or Sitka, where 22 buildings have earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places. The Hubbard Glacier is a must-see for travelers exploring this region, and, in Icy Strait Point, guests can join a whale-watching expedition or experience the thrill of riding the world's largest zipline. Meanwhile, the UNESCO-listed Glacier Bay National Park, with its ice-capped mountains and towering glaciers, promises to be a highlight of any Alaska voyage. Other calls include Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, Endicott Arm and Hubbard Glacier.
On board Queen Elizabeth, guests will be fully immersed in the Alaska experience. Renowned explorers and accomplished adventurers will share their heroic feats, providing a unique educational component to the journey. This season's lineup includes mountaineer Kenton Cool, polar skier Preet Chandi and wildlife filmmaker Doug Allen.
To delve even further into the Alaskan culture, guests onboard will savor indigenous flavors foraged from land and sea, while indulging in cocktails inspired by Alaska's glacial scenery.
