Discovering Alaska from Seattle

The Alaska Explorer cruise aboard the Westerdam is a seven-day adventure packed with moments that linger long after the journey ends. Departing from Seattle, guests are quickly immersed in spectacular landscapes: Juneau, with its majestic glaciers; Tracy Arm Fjord, where drifting icebergs and towering cliffs create an almost surreal scene; Sitka and Ketchikan, steeped in native culture and history; and finally, a charming evening stop in elegant Victoria, Canada, before returning to Seattle. But what truly made a lasting impression was the onboard service. The Westerdam’s crew stands out for its courtesy, efficiency, and meticulous attention to detail. From restaurant staff to stateroom attendants, every team member contributes to a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Special praise goes to the concierge team and the well-curated deck activities, including guided walks, live music evenings, and whale-watching sessions.
