Excerpt From Porthole.com : It's never too early to start planning your next vacation! If you're looking for something a little more exciting than lounging on a Caribbean beach this winter, why not book your next cruise vacation for the great white north of Alaska? The cruise industry got a huge boost this past summer when cruise ships returned to the docks of Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka and all the rest and it's looking like 2022 may be one of the biggest years for Alaska cruising yet! Alaska cruises generally start in the Spring when Winter's grip on America's 49th state isn't quite so strong and it runs through the early Fall. Norwegian Cruise Line is one of our favorite cruise lines in Alaska and they've got a cruise deal for in May 2022 that you won't want to miss! It's time for the Cruise Deal of the Week! Check out porthole.com to learn more about these deals! Hey Cruise Fans!
