Alaska-Best 7 day trip?

[3red7s]

Hello CC people, looking to do a 7 day Alaskan trip, but having a hard time selecting.  Looking especially for scenic views & sailing through the glaciers while viewing wildlife.  We would like to sail from Seattle.  All opinions are welcomed.  Thank you

You might want to check the Alaska ports of call board.

When would you like to go?  Can we assume you're talking about recommendations for Royal Caribbean itineraries?

So after being there I would say Glacier Bay is a must see. So if you are only going on once I'd look for an itinerary with that....which I don't believe Royal has.

this is the correct answer.

Try looking at Princess

Sadly, this is one itinerary where I would not recommend RCI. I've done Princess and Celebrity, and I think they would both be a better fit for what you're looking for.

I wouldn't sail out of Seattle. If you want to cruise Alaska either do a northbound out of Vancouver or a round trip from there.

another vote for Vancouver over Seattle! And preferably one-way.

Vancouver departures sail on the east side of Vancouver island so the ship is between the Island and the mainland;  more scenic and calmer waters.

Seattle departures sail on the west side of V Island so it's basically open sea ... nothing to see and chance of rougher waters.

Try to include Glacier Bay and Sitka
