Anthem of the Seas - Alaska Adventure from Seattle
Anthem's 2026 Seattle season packs Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau around a dawn cruise up Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier, finishing with an evening in Victoria, B.C. The Quantum-class indoor design - North Star capsule, glass-walled Two70 and heated Solarium - makes it one of the most weather-proof ways to see the glaciers.

What Travelers Say About Anthem of the Seas
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Anthem of the Seas sailing. Based on 1,450 discussions.
Anthem of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's globe-trotting Quantum-class veteran - the longtime New Jersey favorite that now splits its year between Alaska summers from Seattle and South Pacific seasons from Sydney. Its identity is 'the indoor ship': the North Star capsule, iFLY skydiving, SeaPlex sports arena, indoor pool and Two70's tech-heavy shows were designed for cool-weather cruising, which is exactly why it thrives on the routes it sails today. Ten years of reviews average out remarkably steady - around 4.2 - for a ship that has hauled millions of passengers.
What People Love
- The North Star capsule - a glass pod rising 300 feet over the sea - is free on sea days and repeatedly called the best view in cruising, especially on scenic routes
- RipCord by iFLY indoor skydiving and the FlowRider give it a thrill lineup no similarly-priced ship in its markets matches
- Weather-proof design: the indoor pool, Solarium and SeaPlex make it the rare big ship that stays fun on cold or rainy days - a huge plus in Alaska
Common Complaints
- The Windjammer buffet is undersized for 4,180 guests and turns into a scrum at breakfast on port days
- Signature attractions (North Star on port days, iFLY, FlowRider lessons) can carry fees or long waitlists - book immediately or miss out
- Pool deck is smaller and more enclosed than Oasis-class ships; on warm-weather itineraries outdoor space gets tight
