Alaska always hits the mark for a wish-list family trip.

Visit big-hitting Alaska ports and scenic sailing spots including Sitka, Juneau, Tracy Arm, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan.
For families, the seven-night Seattle departure on board Norwegian Bliss is a fail-safe option. Family Ocean View cabins sleep up to five, with large bathrooms and a room-dividing curtain for when the little ones have gone to bed. On sea days, race around the ship’s thrilling race track, take in a performance of Jersey Boys and play laser tag with the whole clan.
