Who goes there?
Best time to go?
The best time, overall, to cruise Alaska is between the months of May and September, but the best time to go really depends on what you want to do. If you are budget-conscious, then you may want to consider going in May or September – these are shoulder months, and the cruise fares are often lower, and the cruises less crowded. June and July are the warmest months and have the longest days, so a cruise during these months offers great opportunities to see calving glaciers. Plus, the further into summer you go, the better your chances of seeing wildlife.
