Royal Caribbean Cruises Serenade of the Seas cruising in front of a glacier in Alaska.

RCCL Inside Passage with Tracy Arm Fjord

An Alaska cruise that has it all: Glaciers, wildlife, lively port visits, and equally lively onboard amusements.

Royal Caribbean Inside Passage Tracy Arm Fjord from Vancouver

Arranged for cruisers who value time on board as much as time on shore, this Alaskan voyage comfortably balances three ports of call with three days at sea. Two of those days at sea are spent within the stunning scenery of the Inside Passage. Protected by barrier islands, the calmer waters through the passage provide safe and thriving habitats for myriad marine wildlife. It's also a smooth place to cruise, making life on board all the more enjoyable. When on shore, a range of excursions ensures that each day is memorable. The route is offered by the Royal Caribbean Line out of Vancouver.
