Hosted Alaska Group Cruise
Wichita to Alaska and back · May 29 – June 9, 2027
Five staterooms are open. Each one covers the whole trip, from the Wichita gate to the Wichita gate.
Most Alaska cruises start in Seattle or Vancouver and spend the first two days getting north. This one starts in Anchorage, rides the Alaska Railroad along Turnagain Arm to Whittier (open observation platform, Chugach peaks on one side, water on the other), and sails south from there. You see Alaska first, then you work your way home through the Inside Passage, Vancouver, and Seattle.
Memorial Day week is early season. The ports have just opened for the summer and the July crowds aren’t there yet. That’s the week I’d pick, and it’s the week we’re going.
One price. No add-on line items waiting for you at checkout.
Round-trip air from Wichita, one connection via Dallas or Seattle, one checked bag per traveler
Hotels: a night in Anchorage before the cruise and two nights near Sea-Tac after
