Alaska Cruises From Vancouver
Located about 125 miles north of Seattle, Vancouver British Columbia offers a world of exciting and diversified attractions for the entire family. As a port of departure, Vancouver rates near toe top for both convenience and accessibility. The choice between departing from Seattle or Vancouver is more about destinations then the port itself.
Many of the cruises that depart Vancouver are destined for one of two ports in Alaska - Seward on the Kenai Peninsula or Whittier in Prince William Sound. These are typically one way cruises followed by a land tour (cruisetours). Of these, Holland America and Princess seem to be the leaders in offering these Alaska cruisetour packages. Holland America uses Seward as their northern port while Princess uses Whittier. Whittier is often referenced as Anchorage in their literature due to it's close proximity to this major Alaskan City.
Celebrity Cruises also offers cruises to and from Seward Alaska. For 2011, the Celebrity Millennium will again be traveling between Vancouver BC and Seward Alaska on a 7 day cruise that offers a couple great options for cruise tours prior to or following the cruise.
The Celebrity Millennium will make port calls in Seward, Alaska, Hubbard Glacier (Cruising), Juneau, Alaska, Skagway, Alaska, Icy Strait Point, Alaska, Ketchikan, Alaska, Inside Passage (Cruising), Vancouver, British Columbia or reversed depending upon your choice of a northern or southern itinerary.
