The best time to cruise Alaska is between April & October, but experiences vary each month. Check out our guide to the best months to cruise Alaska.
In this post, I share a month-by-month guide about the best time of year for an Alaskan cruise. I’ve included tips on the weather, wildlife, daylight, and the general experience you’ll have each month of the Alaska cruise season to determine when to set sail for the 49th state.
- Anchorage. Go Outside. Hit the trails. The city’s famous groomed ski and multi-use trail system features everything from leg-burning climbs and swift descents to lighted thoroughfares perfect for a stroll.
- Seward. Meet marine mammals. Tour Resurrection Bay by boat with Seward Ocean Excursions or visit the Alaska SeaLife Center to see seals, sea otters, and more.
- Girdwood. Explore dining hot spots. Head to The Double Musky for Cajun Alaskan, Jack Sprat for “fat & lean world cuisine,” and Chair 5 for pizza and pub food.
- Portage. Visit the animals. Tour the Wildlife Conservation Center for guaranteed wildlife viewing.
For both cruising and land-based tours, May and September are the “shoulder” seasons in Alaska, with better deals and fewer crowds. Cruise prices during those times may be lower, perhaps by a couple hundred dollars per person. Selected shore and land excursions can also be 20% cheaper.
