Alaska Cruise Packing List
So you have booked a Cruise to Alaska, there are some common sense items you should make sure you take with you and some things you are best to do to make sure you make the most of your voyage to Alaska. Simply by planning ahead you can be relaxed knowing you have everything you need to enjoy your vacation.
While making a reservation for your cruise of Alaska it would be a good idea to take out some form of travel protection insurance. This insurance will protect you and everyone covered in many ways. Most people book cruises well in advance of the departure date and the chances of something happening between then are possible. If you or anyone traveling with you were to suffer a major illness or injury preventing you from traveling you would probably lose all the money you paid for the cruise were you not insured.
Your travel protection insurance will also cover you whilst you are in Alaska. Your insurance usually covers you for medical costs in the event of an accident or a serious injury whilst on your vacation. Should you require to be taken to hospital by helicopter from the ship then the insurance cover should cover this as well. Can you imagine the cost for a helicopter for a journey like that! Most holiday insurance will also cover your luggage and personal possessions. Check your policy for full details and make sure the cover is suitable for your needs.
For travellers from the United Stares make sure you have a valid copy of your birth certificate and suitable photographic identification or a passport with you. This is very important if your cruise ship visits a Canadian port as otherwise you may be unable to get off the ship. All other travelers will already have passports with them which they used to gain entry to the United States or Canada.
Make sure you take the appropriate clothing for the formal evenings aboard the ship and casual but smart attire for the other nights. Don't forget to pack your swimwear for the pool or Jacuzzi.
Make sure you pack appropriate clothing for the time of year for your trip to Alaska. A good idea is to wear your clothes in layers this will keep you warm and comfortable at the same time. Remember your hiking boots if you want to join one of the more adventurous excursions whilst in Alaska.
If you don't like small bars of soap and small bottles of shampoo pack your own. The cruise ship will provide you with similar selection of soap as well as shampoo as you would expect in a hotel. Remember to pack your toothpaste, toothbrushes and any lotions. Make sure you take enough for the duration of your cruise and enough for everyone.
It is advisable to take travelers cheques for the added security benefits as if they are stolen or lost they can be replaced but cash can't. Extra cash can be used for shopping trips or for dining out whilst visiting a port of call in Alaska.
