Royal Caribbean is charting a blockbuster season in Alaska that pairs big-ship excitement with authentic wilderness encounters. Travelers can choose weeklong adventures from Seattle, Seward, and Vancouver aboard Anthem, Quantum, Serenade, and Voyager of the Seas, each combining immersive shore time with headline onboard attractions. With Alaska summer 2027 opening for reservations, guests can plan ahead for glacier cruising, wildlife viewing, and culture-rich port calls wrapped in the comfort and innovation the brand is known for.
Alaska Summer 2027 Itineraries at a Glance
Anthem of the Seas anchors the program with 7-night voyages between Seward and Vancouver, threading classic ports like Skagway and Ketchikan and showcasing the towering face of Hubbard Glacier. Quantum of the Seas homeports in Seattle after her Australia season, tracing a Pacific Northwest arc to Sitka, Juneau, and Skagway. From Vancouver, Serenade of the Seas sails the scenic Inside Passage to Icy Strait Point, Sitka, and Ketchikan, while Voyager of the Seas departs Seattle for routes featuring Juneau, Skagway, and the dramatic fjords of Endicott Arm with views of Dawes Glacier.

Anthem’s Cruisetours Extend the Journey
For the first time on Anthem, guests can stretch their adventure beyond the coastline with guided, multi-night Cruisetour experiences before or after the sailing. These land extensions spotlight Alaska’s interior—think Denali National Park vistas and luxury glass-dome rail journeys that frame snow-capped ranges and braided rivers. At sea, Anthem layers in signature features such as the all-glass North Star observation capsule and the expansive SeaPlex activity hub, blending expedition energy with modern comforts and diverse dining from Mediterranean-inflected plates at Solarium Bistro to American favorites at Johnny Rockets.
Variety Across Quantum, Serenade, and Voyager
Quantum of the Seas balances wilderness and play with kayaking in pristine coves, chances to spot sea otters along rugged shores, and a lineup that includes the FlowRider surf simulator, laser tag, and open-air cinema. Serenade of the Seas leans into classic Alaska sailing with wide-open decks for glacier days, live music in intimate lounges, and family-friendly touches that keep every generation engaged. Voyager of the Seas rounds out the quartet with a mix of adrenaline and ease—ice skating, mini golf, and laser tag on one day, quiet time in the adults-only Solarium the next—set against glacier-carved scenery and frontier towns.

Booking Access and Member Perks
Early access is available on Royal Caribbean’s website for Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members ahead of the general opening on Oct. 23, giving planners first pick of dates, stateroom categories, and itineraries. The season’s spread of homeports simplifies travel logistics while opening more flight options and pre- or post-cruise stays in gateway cities. As Alaska summer 2027 draws nearer, the blend of marquee glaciers, rare wildlife encounters, and thoughtfully curated onboard experiences promises a compelling balance of discovery and ease.
The Royal Caribbean Difference
Innovation and destination depth remain the throughline: engineering built for cold-weather performance, inviting interiors with panoramic sightlines, and culinary variety that moves from premium steaks at Chops Grille to sushi at Izumi. With carefully paced port calls and unhurried scenic cruising, Alaska summer 2027 becomes the moment to experience The Last Frontier with the scale, service, and storytelling that define Royal Caribbean.
