When to Go
Alaska’s cruise season typically runs from May through September, offering a range of experiences depending on when you visit. Early in the season, you can witness the transformation of landscapes as snow melts and wildlife awakens. By mid-summer, the days are long and perfect for exploring, while late summer and early fall bring stunning foliage and the chance to see the Northern Lights. Check weather.gov for up-to-date forecasts and pack accordingly for your trip.
What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable. Layering is essential, with a base of moisture-wicking materials, a warm insulating layer, and a waterproof outer shell. Sturdy footwear is a must for exploring rugged terrain, and a hat and gloves are advisable for cooler conditions. For glacier tours, sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended due to the intense reflection off the ice.
