Royal Caribbean plans to have four ships sailing from multiple ports to Alaska in 2026. Making its Alaska debut, Voyager of the Seas is set to join the 2025 season’s newcomer, Anthem of the Seas; Serenade of the Seas; and Ovation of the Seas, which returns as the first of its kind with a lineup of multi-night Cruisetour experiences on land.
"Vacationers can take in the rich wildlife, landscapes, and cultures that make Alaska a sought-after destination with their pick of 7-night adventures from Seattle or 7- to 13-night getaways from Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada or Seward, Alaska. The new 2026 Alaska vacations are now open for bookings on Royal Caribbean’s website," the cruise line shared in a press release.
The cruise line will also have sailings from Seattle that visit Alaska.

Royal Caribbean's Alaska Summer 2026 Highlights
Voyager of the Seas – From Seattle: For seven nights, vacationers can marvel at Alaska’s scenic landscapes as they venture to Dawes Glacier, Endicott Arm fjord, Juneau, Sitka and Skagway, as well as Icy Strait Point.
Ovation of the Seas – From Seward and Vancouver: Taking exploration to the next level, Ovation returns as the first in the action-packed Quantum Class lineup with immersive overnight adventures on land, Cruisetours. The alternating northbound and southbound vacations that start in Seward or Vancouver are seven to 13 nights of awe-inspiring wonders in Juneau, Sitka, and Skagway, and majestic views for miles in between like Hubbard Glacier, one of the state’s largest tidewater glaciers. Travelers can linger longer before or after with Cruisetour experiences like trekking the tundra wilderness, taking in views from glass-domed rail cars, and meeting professional dog sledders and their dog team.
Anthem of the Seas – From Seattle: The favorite summer anthem takes the stage again with 7-night vacations from Seattle to explore the state’s beauty, like the rich culture of Gold Rush-era town Skagway and the wildlife in Sitka, which can include whales, raptors and bears. Vacationers can also take in the stunning views of the fjords of Endicott Arm, Dawes Glacier, and the mountain-framed capital city of Juneau.
