Alaska Cruise Travel Tips
- Alaska cruise tours are a popular summer holiday activity so make sure you book yours well in advance to get the first pick of cabins. Also, ships with hot tubs/ heated pools sell out quicker than those without (it's a great way to warm up from the chilly winds).
- You can visit the last frontier on a mega-ship or a small expedition vessel depending on how sea-worthy your legs are and how adventure-based you’d like your holiday to be.
- Alaska can be extremely cold one minute and heat up in a matter of hours all year round, so bring your thermals and layer your clothes so you can remove items if the weather improves. Also, don’t forget sunscreen!
- May and September Alaska cruise tours are considered to be shoulder-season and you can usually find cheaper tickets.
