"The growing number of choices means consumers now have an even wider array of options to suit their tastes. Whether you're interested in a crowd-pleasing big ship bursting with amenities, a small ship that can navigate less-traveled waterways, an adults-only ship with sophisticated onboard entertainment, or a luxurious yacht that promises highly personalized service, cruise lines are promising the best summer yet in Alaska."
"Several companies are headed to Alaska for the first time in 2026. Among them is the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which is sending its newest superyacht, , on a series of voyages ranging from seven to 11 nights between Vancouver and Whittier. These trips will call in smaller, less-visited ports including Klawock Island, Wrangell, Petersburg, Haines, and Valdez, in addition to familiar favorites like Sitka and Ketchikan."
Summer 2026 will expand Alaska cruise options with multiple new entrants and returning lines, increasing choice for travelers. Three companies will visit Alaska for the first time, offering itineraries that include seven- to 12-night voyages between Vancouver, Seattle and Whittier. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will deploy a new superyacht with 226 terrace suites and calls to smaller ports such as Klawock Island, Wrangell and Petersburg, with onboard dining by chefs Michael Mina and Fabio Trabocchi. Virgin Voyages will send the adults-only Brilliant Lady with inclusive dining and branded entertainment like drag shows and Scarlet Night. Offerings range from large ships to small expedition and luxury yachts.
