Hi there!

Kodiak is a rare cruise port on an Alaska cruise itinerary, and in 2027, there is only mainstream cruise line that has cruise ships with a port stop in Kodiak. That is Holland America.

Holland America has 5 cruises that go to Kodiak on 3 cruise ships, which are the Zaandam, Noordam, and Westerdam.

The other “mainstream” cruise lines I’m considering here that do not have cruise ships going to Kodiak in 2027 are include Princess, Norwegian (NCL), Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, and MSC. These cruise lines do have cruises to Alaska, just none with a port stop in Kodiak.

So here are the Holland America cruises that go to Kodiak.

How to find cruises to Kodiak

I will tell you how I do it!

First, you can look up the Kodiak cruise port schedule for the year you want to take the cruise.

Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska (CLAA) has a schedule of all Alaska cruise ports. You can look for the Alaska cruise port schedule here. In the future, you can do an internet search for something like “Alaska cruise port schedule 2027.”

Look for Kodiak KDK on the list!

This will give you a calendar view of all the cruise ships that are going to Kodiak for the year.

But, it doesn’t tell you what the rest of the cruise ports are that are part of the cruise!

So to look for the full cruise itinerary, you can go to cruisemapper or vacationstogo. In both cases, you can search specifically for Kodiak Alaska.

On cruisemapper, you can type in Kodiak Island Alaska into the search. For vacationstogo, you can look for Kodiak AK under “all ports or places to visit.” (Vacationstogo is also nice because you can sort cruises by price!)

You could actually just bypass the CLAA schedule altogether and go straight to cruisemapper or vacationstogo to search for Kodiak and the cruise itinerary together.

But CLAA can be a helpful resource to know about! Use it to figure out where your cruise ship will be docking in any given cruise port in Alaska.
