Alaska 10-14 day roundtrip cruises are priced about $1,100-$2,300 per person, double occupancy for an interior room, depending on sailing date, choice of stateroom and cruise line. Cabins with an ocean view are priced $1,800-$2,200, balcony rooms $1,800-$4,400 and suites $4,500-$6,200, per person.
Best Price: Mid-May to early June and late August to mid-September. The trade-off: Cooler weather, less wildlife activity, and (in September) more rain. Best Weather: For longer days, dry weather, and warm temperatures, the best time to cruise in Alaska is late June through mid-July. We Recommend: Salmon run season (mid- to late July) is when the bears are most active. If youâre interested in whales, however, August is when youâre mostly likely to spot them.
