As the 2024 Hurricane season is going out with a bang, many people are not thinking about their next cruise right now, or wondering what other cruising options are available next year that are not in hurricane alley. This is a great time to start planning an Alaska Cruise. These cruises only operate from May until September due to weather. By no means is an Alaskan Cruise going to be a fun in the sun wear your bathing suit everywhere cruise, but it is something every avid cruise fan should have on their bucket list.
May and September will be the coldest, but can come with bigger discounts along with better availability being these are still during school season.. The more popular dates are around the Summer Solstice. The week leading into and from the longest day of the year gives the best opportunity to enjoy the "midnight sun".
There are plenty of tours to do, however, the closer you are to the start or end of the season can limit some of these as things like the Denali National Park may not be open yet right at the start of the cruise season. So if there are specific places/tours you are interested in, you should plan accordingly.
Cold is not the only weather related issue to think about. Late August into September tends to have more rain on average.
So, if you are interested in doing an Alaskan Cruise, we here at Time to Cruise say now is the time to start planning! Get that list going of wants and needs so you can find the perfect time to go!
Happy Cruising!
