'Beautiful for spacious skies, purple mountain majesties, freedom beat across the wilderness' - the inspiring words of Katherine Lee Bates resonate throughout this northern state as if to preserve the very essence of early American settlers.

Be sure to book early, since Alaskan cruises are only offered from May through September, and this is one adventure that is well worth the ticket price. Most Alaskan cruises are in the $1,000 range, clearly affordable for a luxury cruise to America's Great White North.
