Alaska Cruises in July

What better way to celebrate July 4th than to be aboard the Sikumi experiencing all the beauty Southeast Alaska has to offer. July, being the heart of summer, brings long daylight hours and nice temperatures to Alaska.

The heart of summer in Southeast Alaska brings with it lush green landscape and active wildlife. Aboard the Sikumi, you are likely to see whales in their summer territory, migratory birds, and Dall porpoise and otters frolicking in the water. Brown and black bears are out and about hunting and fishing for salmon in the streams and rivers of Alaska.

Wildlife is not the only active part of Alaska in July. Alaska's glaciers are actually active and alive year-round. But the warmer temperatures of July cause the glaciers to calve and tumble into the sea, which is a powerful and extraordinary force to witness. All the things you envision Alaska to be about; blooming, colorful wildflowers, lush, majestic mountains and active glaciers and wildlife, are yours to experience during the month of July aboard the Sikumi.
