Plan your Alaskan cruise today.

Have you dreamed of discovering the majestic glaciers and scenic national parks of the Inside Passage? Become an Owner and you can use Vacation Club Points to choose from a variety of Ocean Explorer cruises through the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska’s southeast coast.

As you begin to explore your cruise options, consider these helpful tips:

• Book now to enjoy the best selection of 2013 cruises.
• The ideal time to cruise in Alaska is May through September. During this time period, you’ll enjoy better weather and sea conditions, plus greater cruise selection.
• Choose your preferred cruise line. Offerings may be available from Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity and additional cruise lines.
• Select your ideal accommodations. You may reserve an oceanview cabin for as few as 3,450 Vacation Club Points. Or, to make the most of your experience, you can upgrade to a balcony cabin or suite!
• Carefully read through the itinerary and optional excursions to find a cruise that suits your style. Do you prefer an active and adventurous cruise, or a more laid-back affair? Are you looking for a quick getaway or a 14-day journey that allows you to immerse yourself in the experience? Do you want to add a land tour to the end of your cruise, so you can continue to explore?

Because cruises in Alaska are incredibly popular, it’s a good idea to book a year in advance. If you become an Owner and you’d like to travel, you’ll find a few great cruises available this summer, departing within the next 90 days.

To learn how you can become an Owner, you're invited to take advantage of a special Discovery Vacation Package at one of our resorts. For details, call 800-459-9089.
