Romantic Alaska Trips & Honeymoon Packages

What our customers ask about Romantic Alaska Trips & Honeymoon Packages

• What's the best time of year for couples to visit Alaska?

  Summer months from June through August are ideal, with comfortable temperatures of 60-80°F (15-27°C) and long daylight hours that let you pack in more activities together. If you prefer fewer crowds, try May or September - you might even catch the Northern Lights. Winter trips from November through March are great for couples who want to see the aurora and enjoy snow activities, but be prepared for temperatures as low as -20°F (-29°C) in inland areas. Most couples book their trips in July or August when the weather is mild and you can do pretty much everything Alaska offers.

• Which areas of Alaska are best for a romantic getaway?

  The Kenai Peninsula is perfect for couples, with chances to kayak near glaciers in Seward or stay in cozy lodges in Girdwood. Denali National Park is another favorite - you can watch wildlife together and wake up to amazing mountain views. Small coastal towns along the Inside Passage, like Sitka, give you a nice mix of culture and nature. Many couples love Talkeetna, a small town with great mountain views and nice restaurants. The Alyeska Resort area near Anchorage works well if you want some luxury while staying close to outdoor activities.

• What are Alaska's most romantic spots?

  You'll find really special places throughout Alaska. Kenai Fjords National Park is great for watching glaciers and wildlife together. Denali National Park offers incredible mountain views and wilderness experiences. Seward is perfect for romantic walks along the coast and boat trips. The Turnagain Arm drive is beautiful, and Homer's Halibut Cove has quiet beaches for evening walks. As one TourRadar traveler put it: "Watching the sunset over Resurrection Bay with whales breaching in the distance was one of our most magical moments together."

• What are the best places for couples to stay in Alaska?

  Alaska has lots of romantic places to stay, from fancy lodges to cozy hotels. Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge is really popular with couples - you get your own balcony with mountain views. In Fairbanks, Pike's Waterfront Lodge has rooms overlooking the river and good spots to see the Northern Lights. If you're taking a cruise, ships like Holland America's MS Noordam have nice suites where you can watch glaciers and wildlife from your private veranda. One TourRadar traveler said: "The lodges were amazing, especially watching the Northern Lights together from our private deck at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge."

In Denali National Park, you can look for bears, moose, and wolves from scenic spots or during guided walks. Couples often love watching eagles in Sitka or paddling near seals in Prince William Sound.
