Is June or August better for Alaska?
Is June or August better for Alaska? Compared with the rest of the summer months, the weather in Alaska in June is optimal and shore excursions are less likely to be rained out.
Is it better to go to Alaska in August or September?
The vast majority of people stick to the peak summer months of June, July, and August. Fewer people in September means more accommodations are available in popular areas like Denali National Park and Preserve, and that in general, you'll be hiking, sightseeing and snapping photos with way fewer photobombers.
Should I bring a bathing suit on an Alaskan cruise?
Yes, we suggest bringing a swimsuit on our cruise. Remember that much of your time is actually going to be spent on the cruise ship. While there are pools, there are also hot tubs. So bring your swimsuit and you can take a dip in the hot tub or even lay out if the weather is warmer and sunny.
