What is the best cruise to Alaska?

What would be the best month to go on the Alaska cruise?

  • i have a pinched nerve which hurts more in cool weather but i really want to go on the Alaska cruise

  • Answer:

    Most cruises go up the inside passage of SE Alaska which is a temperate rain forest. The best weather (warmest months with least rain) are June and July. The SE Alaska rain forest gets about 100 inches of rain annually and has about 60 days per year with no precipitation. A warm summer day usually reaches the mid 60's and it gets colder and substantially more windy around the glaciers and ice fields (which is what you want to see when you come here). To give you an example of what the weather is like, one time I was downtown where the tourists go (most locals never go there) and a lady was complaining about the downpour and asked, "Does it always rain like this?" "No... in the winter it snows." I replied. The other locals around got a good laugh but when you get precipitation 305 days out of the year you have to learn to live with it.

No worries the summers are not that cold!! The weather in the summer where the crew ships go is about the same as Seattle, WA (I'm from Alaska and live in Seattle) You should defiantly do it I promise you wont be disappointed!! And try and get on a ship that has a massage therapist, that will help with your pinched nerve. Hope this helps!! You'll have a blast!!

We went in August and it was about 75 degree's everyday. Never had a rain day, it was gorgeous out. It was the best cruise in the world. The towns and scenery are just like looking in a history book.

If you're wanting the warmest weather, then I'd shoot for late June or July. Alaska is beautiful. I used to live there and then took a cruise 4 years ago in June. We had great weather. We were laying out by the pool in the sun as we cruised past snow covered mountains. It was cooler when we went to the glaciers, but I think you'll be just fine. Enjoy yourself! :)

August would be nice. But you know....you just never know how the weather is going to be. I went in the beginning of August and we had incredible weather, even warm for that part of the country. Two weeks earlier they were drenched in rain. I think the summer months are a better bet.

Any summer month is great, with the lowest fares in September. It's also getting cooler then. For a list of all available please go here: http://wwwcruise.com

The best time would be in the spring or in the summer.
