An Alaskan cruise is a top bucket list item. It’s the type of trip that will likely be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so you want to make sure you do it right the first time.
July is the best time of year to go because you’re most likely to get the best weather and have the most wildlife sightings. That being said, you can still get great weather and see wildlife anytime from May-September.
Alaska cruises are great for all different kinds of people from all different places, at all different ages, and all levels of mobility. Cruise lines are very accommodating and have different activities based on your interests.
