Experiences from our community
"Our family reunion cruise to Alaska was absolutely perfect! Michelle took care of every detail, from coordinating cabins for 20 family members to arranging special group excursions. Seeing glaciers calve and whales breach while surrounded by loved ones was the trip of a lifetime!"
"As a photographer, I was blown away by Alaska's landscapes. On The Fly Vacations arranged special photography excursions that got me to the right places at the right times. The cruise + land tour combination gave me access to both coastal and interior Alaska. My portfolio is now filled with incredible shots!"
"I was hesitant about an Alaska cruise, thinking it might be too cold or not engaging enough. I couldn't have been more wrong! The experience was comfortable, the ship was luxurious, and the excursions were thrilling. Seeing a mother bear with cubs from a safe distance was a moment I'll never forget."
Make the most of your Alaska adventure
Alaska's weather can change rapidly. Pack layers including waterproof outer layers, warm mid-layers, and comfortable base layers. Don't forget gloves, hats, and comfortable walking shoes.
Bring extra memory cards, batteries, and a good zoom lens for wildlife. Consider a waterproof case or bag to protect your equipment in Alaska's often damp conditions.
A good pair of binoculars is essential for spotting wildlife from the ship or shore. They'll enhance your experience when viewing distant glaciers, eagles, and marine life.
Despite the northern latitude, sun exposure can be intense, especially when reflected off water and ice. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat.
Alaska's summer can bring mosquitoes, especially in wooded areas and the interior. Pack insect repellent for land excursions and consider clothing with built-in protection.
Alaska's most memorable experiences often come through shore excursions, which can range from $50 to $500+ per person. Budget accordingly for these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
