Alaska Luxury Cruises Reviews

Regent is our favourite cruise line and we chose this cruise to coincide with the celebration (a year late due to Covid) of our Golden Wedding Anniversary.Having flown into Calgary we stayed over before transferring to the Rimrock Hotel enjoying a day in the Banff national park before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer for a two day journey from Banff to Vancouver prior to our Alaskan cruise. ...

We are regular cruisers and for our cruise to Alaska we felt we would benefit more from the small ship experience. Our travel agent recommended Regent as the most luxurious cruise line. Maybe we just expected to much. The ship itself was immaculate and all the staff were very courteous. However, we found the standard of the food to be dissapointing, the main difference in mainline cruises and ...

Launched in 2021, Le Commandant Charcot is a Polar Class 2 rated icebreaker. It is a 245-passenger, 31,300-ton cruising vessel with high quality interiors. It is French, chic, the service is smooth, and passengers are well-heeled, experienced and predominantly elder travellers. As of 2022, Le Commandant Charcot is the only PC2 rated ship in service. Note that the strongest Canadian Coastguard ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and also to see whether we enjoyed the Seabourn product and typical clientele vibe enough to book the 2024 world cruise. We were blessed with great weather from start to finish so enjoyed the wonders and majesty of the Alaskan fjords in all their glory. The excursions on this trip were certainly pretty pricey but the wildlife sightings we enjoyed - bears ...

Originally, we were booked on a Holland America Line (HAL) Alaska cruise with a Denali land extension. We have sailed HAL twice and enjoyed them. We have sailed Oceania many times also. But, when I spotted a Travelzoo deal for the same itinerary on Silversea Silver Shadow, we rebooked. Basically paid the same price as HAL but had the benefit of Silversea figuring out the air, transfers, all ...

We had never cruised Oceania, wanted the small ship experience that Holland America no longer offers, first time Alaska. We booked an owner's suite, there are six of these on this ship. Promised "priority boarding" was a joke, we were treated to a cattle-call through screening and security behind a very large crowd of passengers (75 to 100) before boarding, anyone who felt like it was allowed to ...

We just returned from our first cruise on a regent ship to Alaska. We sailed on June 3rd out of Seward and disembarked in Vancouver. Prior to sailing on Regent, we have been on many other lines; Viking Ocean, Oceania, Paul Gauguin, Princess, RCC, Holland America and Celebrity. We have been on Alaska cruises before, but this time I convinced my DH to try a “luxury line.” I am using the ...

Regent Alaska review Short take - Alaska gorgeous, ship lovely - cabin excellent, bed wonderful, service excellent. Crew professional and friendly. Food excellent. Denali pre-cruise poor value - disappointing. Administrative contacts with Regent office unhelpful and annoying, Ship and cruise portion of trip Ship Immaculate Cabin concierge level. Was roomy, comfortable. Bed ...

Do not waste your money. You take a cruise to see things. Excursions cancelled, brochure makes it sound fabolous, not true in descriptions. Food is not that flavorful. Buffet - many times bowls were empty, very slow in getting soft drinks or drinks, all the food in every restaurant taste the same. Elevators not working for days, plumbing problems, laundry was delayed in getting clothes back. ...

We booked this cruise back in April 2021 when everyone was getting vaccinated for covid and thinking the pandemic would be long over by July of 2022 (silly us!) We thought it would be a great way to reconnect in person with relatives we had not been able to see since before the pandemic. We booked five cabins for ten people. Each couple came from a different part of the US; New York City, ...
