Picture this: Alaska 2026, glass-like waters reflecting the grandeur of tidewater glaciers, the call of bald eagles overhead, and the thrill of spotting orcas as you cruise through Alaska’s Inside Passage.
In 2026, Cunard invites you to experience this untamed wilderness aboard the magnificent Queen Elizabeth, where luxury and adventure combine for an unforgettable voyage. With itineraries ranging from 7 to 12 nights and longer expeditions that stretch up to 42 nights, this is an opportunity to discover Alaska and beyond, sailing from Seattle into the heart of Alaska.
Unforgettable Destinations
Being one of the hottest travel trends for 2025, Cunard’s Alaska 2026 voyages promise a diverse itinerary, taking guests to vibrant ports and secluded natural wonders.
- Ketchikan, where brightly painted totem poles tell stories of native heritage.
- Juneau, steeped in history from its days as a gold mining hub.
- Haines, a haven for adventure seekers with kayaking, mountain hikes, and even a quirky hammer museum!
Every journey is graced by awe inspiring scenic cruising moments, such as Glacier Bay National Park or the imposing Hubbard Glacier. Plus, for those seeking more than Alaska’s icy splendour, longer voyages offer a seamless transition to the Caribbean, where turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and UNESCO World Heritage sites await.
