Want your honeymoon to feel like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure? I sure did—and when I explored Alaska, it completely stole my heart. I found glacier cruises that left me speechless, cozy wilderness lodges that felt like they were made just for two, and mountain views so grand they didn’t look real. If you're dreaming of something intimate, wild, and breathtaking, I think you’ll fall in love with what I found. These Alaska honeymoon ideas give you front-row seats to glacier views, wildlife wonders, and some of the coziest moments you’ll ever share in the Last Frontier.
Highlights:
- I’ll never forget the scenic train rides on the Alaska Railroad—especially the luxury domed railcars. If you want to sit back and soak in the views together, this is it.
- You’ve got to try a glacier cruise. I did one in Kenai Fjords, and seeing ice calve into the sea while holding my partner’s hand was pure magic. Prince William Sound is just as stunning.
- If you're like me and crave quiet nights tucked away from it all, you’ll love the secluded log cabins and wilderness lodges. Some even have private hot tubs—perfect for watching the stars together.
- I’ve chased the Northern Lights from Fairbanks and from remote lodges, and every time it felt surreal. If seeing them is on your bucket list, you’re in for something unforgettable.
- And don’t miss the adventures. I’ve gone sea kayaking past glaciers, dog sledding through snowy trails, and spotting bears and moose on wildlife tours. You can be bold together—and make memories that stick.
