Seven nights sailing Alaska's Inside Passage with flights included from £1,799pp — decent value if you're after glaciers and wildlife without arranging your own transport.
The deal
Crown Princess, Vancouver to Anchorage, 7 nights. Calls at Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. Flights from the UK included. Available May to September, though wildlife viewing is notably better mid-July onwards.
Why we like it
Flights bundled in saves you faffing about with separate bookings — and Alaska flights aren't cheap. The itinerary hits the proper highlights: Glacier Bay is genuinely worth seeing, and you'll spot bears, whales and eagles if you time it right (hence the mid-July note).
The catch: May and June sailings are cheaper but wildlife is thinner on the ground. Late-summer sailings command premiums. Also, "from £1,799pp" typically means inside cabins — outside cabins will cost more. Princess ships are functional rather than cutting-edge, so manage expectations accordingly.
How to book
Go through Princess Cruises directly. They'll sort your flight routing from the UK and all the cruise paperwork. Check your dates carefully — the price moves around seasonally, and you'll want to verify what's actually available before committing.
