If you're going to Alaska, we can't recommend enough, including a cruise that gets you into Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve! You'll get to see lots of glaciers and wildlife, all from the comfort of your balcony or up on the top deck. Just make sure to pack some layers as the air can be a bit cool coming off the glaciers. 😀

Give this post a 👍 or ❤️ if you'd like to see Glacier Bay National Park!

When is the best time to go on a river cruise? Well, that depends! Peak season in Europe is June-August when the weather is warm BUT the destinations are crowded. Shoulder season is becoming much more popular to avoid the crowds and cooler temps. If you don't mind a cold-weather cruise, another growing trend is cruises that stop at the charming Christmas markets in late November and December.
