SINGAPORE, 16 September 2024: In 2025, Oceania Cruises will offer more than a dozen immersive explorations of Alaska. These voyages take travellers beyond typical tourist sights to discover local culture, soaring glaciers, and the pristine wilderness of the ‘Last Frontier’.
The cruise line’s 1,250-guest Riviera will sail its first season in Alaska from May through September 2025, offering seven- to 12-day itineraries departing from Seattle, Vancouver, and Whittier.
Each itinerary features lesser-known and iconic ports such as Homer, Sitka, and Juneau, giving travellers plentiful opportunities to engage with the destination on an entirely new level through Native tribe site visits, national park excursions and wildlife encounters.
Land programmes
To further enhance Oceania Cruises’ cruise itineraries, guests can include a pre- or post-cruise land programme such as the Discover Denali, where travellers will enjoy views of North America’s highest peak while exploring Denali National Park, the first national park created to protect wildlife.
Covering six million acres, Denali offers insight into the 49th state. With over two full days in the park, guests can travel by domed railcar and along scenic byways through the iconic wilds of Alaska. Wildlife-spotting opportunities abound – including bald eagles, caribou, and Dall sheep – alongside marvelling at glacial-fed rivers and the chance to see the original ranger’s cabin, once the only outpost in the vast park. The four-day/three-night programme also features an Alaskan Native presentation on the history of the land and a natural history tour.
