Taking a cruise to Alaska is different than taking a cruise to just about anywhere else.   Alaska has some of the most breathtaking views and experiences that you can ever enjoy but being prepared is crucial to your enjoyment of your bucket list worthy Alaskan cruise vacation.  What to pack is important so your friends at Blessed Travel Vacations are here to help.   Most popular Alaskan cruises are what is called the Inside Passage, that means they typically stay far southeast, where the weather is milder compared to northwest portion.   Most popular cruises sail from mid/late May through late September because the weather is most favorable around that time.   Expect May and mid/late September to have colder weather then June-August.   Alaska can also be very wet, most ports will have multiple days or overcast and/or rain during the week.  This is not really a problem, as long as you are prepared.   We recommend to pack warm clothes but do layers instead of oversized, big jackets that way if it does warm up you simply remove a layer.   Secondly bring some light weight rain gear, you do not want to be soaking wet while you are walking.  When you book your Alaska cruise with a cruise specialist at Blessed Travel Vacations we go through our recommendations on how to pack and what to take to make your vacation as enjoyable as possible.
