BiggerCruise is docking the port this June, get ready to set sail soon!

BiggerCruise is setting sail this upcoming June, and we got all of the details for this exclusive trip made just for the big boys!

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure as BiggerCruise sets sail for the Last Frontier, aka, Alaska! Join the bears, chubs, cubs, and chasers on a seven night cruise from Seattle aboard the stunning Norwegian Bliss from Norwegian Cruise Line.

Each day promises moments that will truly be an experience that you won’t forget. Explore Alaska’s breathtaking beauty, rugged landscapes, and vibrant ports surrounded by old and new friends alike. Let’s talk a little bit about the magic of Alaska you’ll experience along with the fun included on the ship as you embark on this epic journey!

The trip is a combination of officially sponsored activities and cruise line itineraries, as well as suggestions to maximize leisure and pleasure on your trip. For your days at sea, enjoy all the fun that comes with sailing on the Norwegian Bliss from daytime through the nighttime.

Take a spin on the Bliss Speedway, enjoy outdoor play at Aqua Park and Horizon Park, or relax at Vibe Beach Club and Mandara Spa. With a wide-range of dining options including the complimentary 24-hour eatery The Local as well as fusion-favorite Food Republic, mealtime will always be a great time. And when the sun goes down, the entertainment begins – musicals, comedy, game shows, and more!

Once you get aboard the ship from Seattle on the first day, you’ll get to settle in and join in for a special meet and greet to get to know your fellow passengers. Afterwards, join everyone for a special mixer to have drinks and share laughs with your new friends, get together after that for a group dinner over a delicious meal, and end the night with a dance party to set the tone for your week ahead!

Enjoy a brunch with your crew on day two, meetup for the official BiggerCruise group photo, and end the day with BiggerOke, the group karaoke event where you can sing your heart out!

On day three, you’ll port at Sitka, Alaska, a charming island community surrounded with stunning mountain and seaside panoramic views. You can go on a scenic excursion with the group to enjoy the vast and rich wildlife boasts sightings of whales, brown bears, deers, sea otters, and various birds flock here.

This destination also offers superb fishing, and plentiful historical attractions. You can end the day by relaxing in the hot tubs of the Spice H20 adults only space where you can chat about the day into the night.

The fourth day lands in Juneau, Alaska, which has been called “Alaska’s peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area’s many protected waterways, go flightseeing, tour historic downtown or try your hand at panning for gold. The majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau, a worthwhile trek.

Join the group for a whale watching and salmon bake combo experience before heading back to the ship for drag bingo and another evening at Spice H20 to wind down. So far, I am sold and want to get a ticket for myself, and we’re only on the fourth day!

On the fifth day, the ship will dock in icy Strait Point, the ideal landing spot for adventurers seeking a new experience. Breathtaking and exciting, Icy Strait Point truly takes you where the wild things are. It’s one of the few places in the world where wildlife outnumbers the human population. Enjoy Alaska’s awe-inspiring scenery and the many excursion options on offer.

Join the group for the Icy Strait Tlingit Village Tour with a crab feast! This tour not only presents the best of Icy Strait, Alaska, but it also showcases the essence of local life while providing all-inclusive service to ensure every guest is fully taken care of. From wildlife spectacles to culinary delights, this is hands-down the real, immersive Alaskan experience that you won’t find elsewhere.

End your fifth day with an exclusive experience just for the group by relaxing with fellow BiggerCruisers on the heated loungers, unwinding together in the Vitality Pool, and enjoying great company while detoxing in the Salt Room and Dry Sauna. Cool off under the Rain Showers, or dare your friends to brave the Snow Room – it’s all part of the fun!

The next day, you’ll land in Ketchikan (Ward Cove), Alaska where, thanks to its abundant rainfall, is surrounded by some of the world’s most lush wilderness. Its Tlingit Indian name, Kach Khanna, means “spread wings of the eagle”. Chances are you’ll see one of these magnificent birds perched atop a Sitka tree during your Alaska cruise to Ketchikan (Ward Cove).

Spend time with the group catching all of the Ketchikan highlights in Saxman Native Village and the local Lumberjack Show from Ward Cove. Visitors are offered a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich native culture of Southeast Alaska.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a tour host who will guide you through Saxman Native Village. Afterwards, you can also enjoy the action-packed Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show. This head-to-head lumberjack competition brings the logging history of Alaska to life with thrilling displays of strength and agility.

Finish the day with the BiggerCruise Chub/Chaser Contest, a BiggerEvents tradition, now at sea! It’s your chance to compete for the title of Mr. Chub or Mr. Chaser and win the hearts of the community. Celebrate afterwards with a dedicated dance party to close out the night.

On the final day of this week long and event filled cruise, enjoy a brunch with your friends to chat about all the adventures and fun from the week, then grab the mic later and show off your singing skills at BiggerOke!

Get together after that for the Farewell Dinner before landing in Victoria, British Columbia where you can roam the spacious lawns of stunning Butchart Gardens with its exotic flora, unusual topiary and exquisite fountains. Explore historic Bastion Square, the treasures of Chinatown and the many sights and sounds to be found along the boardwalk of the Inner Harbour.

End the day by enjoying late night bites and Victoria sights on a foodie walk where the city comes alive at night. This unforgettable evening walking tour blends gourmet tastings, captivating stories, and the city’s charming nighttime ambiance all in one.

Land the next day back in Seattle and say goodbye to the ship, but let it be known that the party starts early and ends late before and after the cruise at The Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle. Extend your stay with the group before and after to let the party continue!
