Perhaps the greatest way to see and experience Alaska is through Holland America Alaska Cruises. An Alaska cruise lets you get a taste of the Alaskan wilderness and visit the most rugged and remote coastlines of the state. It also lets you see the unforgettable horizons of the tallest mountain Rockies of North America and gives you the chance to get up close and personal with whales, eagles, and caribou.

The Glacier Bay is one of the main features of an Alaskan cruise you should not miss. The bay has sixteen tidewater glaciers and an abundant wildlife. Find out if your cruise ship has the permit to actually enter the bay and make sure that you dress warm enough when you take pictures on the outside rail of the ship.

The best months to go on an Alaskan cruise are during May and September. These are quieter months and will likely afford you a better deal on your cruise package. The weather during these months is also mild although you should pack a few extra layers for cool evenings. In the mean time, the best months for whale watching are during the summer months of June and July.

There is an array of Alaskan cruise lines to choose from. Among these, Holland America Alaska Cruises offer one of the finest and most luxurious accommodations with deluxe features like bathtub in most rooms.

Normal seven-day Holland America Alaska Cruises usually include two formal, two informal, and three casual evenings and you might want to pack the right outfit for the more formal nights. Formal attire is generally required during formal evenings although there is a restaurant you can lounge in if you feel like going casual for the night.

On the other hand, a Princess cruise to Alaska entails numerous activities on board. The large ship is also home to a friendly and efficient staff.

Once you’re on board a cruise ship, it is not uncommon for your luggage to be separated from you for an indefinite amount of time. Thus, it’s advisable for you to pack a few pieces of clothing in a small bag which you can carry with you at all times. Remember to have your swimsuit ready in the bag so you can enjoy a dip in the swim pool while waiting for the rest of your luggage. Above all, don’t forget to sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself!
