When to Book an Alaska Cruise for the Best Price

by 32 Comments

Alaska Cruise Banner

A question we often get is, “When should I book my Alaska cruise for the best deal?”

The answer is…… It depends.

It depends on how flexible you are. Can you go on any week or do you need to go over a specific date?

Is it just the two of you or are you going with a group of people and need several cabins?

Do you want a roundtrip from Seattle or Vancouver or a one way from Vancouver to Anchorage or one way from Anchorage to Vancouver?

Do you wan to go on a specific ship on a specific sailing date?

Do you want to just go on a cruise or go in a specific kind of cabin, say a balcony cabin, on the port side, mid ship and not near an elevator or you just want any cabin offered at an interline rate?

Do you need just one cabin for 2 people or do you need 2 cabins, one balcony, one inside across the hall for the kids or a cabin(s) that sleep 4 people?

Do you want to go in May or Late July?

The answers to these questions will tell us when you should book.

So you ask “Will there be deals to Alaska?” Yes there will be interline deals to Alaska!

When? No idea. The cruise lines will let us know 60 to 30 days out typically. The closer to the date usually the better the rate, if one is offered at all.

What ships or sailings? No idea. Again 60 to 30 days out, the cruise lines will tell us.

  1. I would like to book a cruise to Alaska 3 day or 7 days in May. We want the inland passage cruise for me and my friend. My friend is a Military Veteran and not an airline employee.

    I am celebrating my 60 Birthday in April so this May trip will be my celebration.

  3. Interested in a Princess SEA/SEA the first part of August and, of course, want a balcony. 1 airline and 1 guest.

    Steve, my daughter is supposed to stop in to meet you as she lives in Colleyville and we are also interested in a river cruise on the Danube in Sept. She is my “Designated Friend” and is allowed to use my UA discount travel This would be 2 cabins.

  5. Looking for a Denali cruise tour around August time frame. Our 45th is AUG 18 and her birthday is the 24th. Something longer than a week cruise. To give you better options for us, a month before or after is okay. We want a private balcony room or better.. Thank you for your help with this. Bill
    P.S. If it helps us getting a better rate, We are seniors, I am retired military, and retired AA.

  12. I am an AA retiree traveling with my husband & another AA retiree couple. We want to find something to (or from) Alaska within the next few months. I definitely want a cabin with a balcony. I am not sure of the other couples wants/needs yet. I am NOT computer savy, & would like to speak to one of your knowledgeable reps for help with the perfect cruise. We will be celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary, & the other couple will be celebrating their duel retirements as well as a 70th Birthday. We want to travel this year 2019. I can also use AAdvantage miles for the flights if necessary. I would love to have someone from your agency contact me so we could finalize some dates. Both couples are pretty flexable with our dates. We need all the help we can get. Thank you in advance with whatever help you can provide us with.

  13. Looking for 7 day Alaska Cruise from Seattle in early to mid-May…I’m a retired SWA employee…what would be my rate for an inside cabin, or for a balcony cabin per person ( my friend is not airline at all)…and where on ship is best if you have motion sickness, and can I get that room location locked in for the cruise? Also, I understand you get good flight rates from Dallas to Seattle round trip? And good hotel rate in Seattle? Lots of questions!!!! Sorry!

  15. I am looking for a cruise to Alaska inside passage in September departing Sept 6-12, 2019 for 2 people. We are both Airline employees and over 55. Preferably out of Seattle. Any great deals to be found?
