Azamara unveils Alaska Cruisetours for 2026

Small ship line Azamara Cruises will debut immersive new Cruisetour packages for Alaska in 2026.

The pre- and post-cruise land journeys invite guests to venture beyond the coastline, combining with Azamara’s 10 Alaska voyages aboard Azamara Pursuit.

The new Cruisetours feature scenic rail trips, cultural experiences, and encounters with the region’s wildlife.

“Whether it’s meeting locals, journeying deep into Denali, or taking in the scenery by rail, these land programs offer a fresh and immersive way to experience the region,” said Mike Pawlus, head of itinerary planning at Azamara Cruises.“

Azamara Cruises’ Alaska Cruisetours offer nine distinct land programs ranging from two to six nights, departing from Whittier, Alaska, and Vancouver, BC, Canada.

With flexible durations, guests can choose an itinerary that fits their schedule.

Each Alaska Cruisetour package includes hotel accommodations, transfers, luggage handling, professional guides, admission fees, and select meals.

Exclusive to Azamara Cruises, a Welcome to Denali presentation at the Denali Discovery Center is led by a local naturalist, complete with a wine and cheese reception.

Guests can also enjoy a visit to a working farm to learn about about Alaska’s unique agricultural landscape.
