Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Calm Sea Cruise.

  1. Book your excursions early because they fill up.

  2. Pack in layers for Alaska (onion style) including a rain jacket and bug spray.

  3. When taking the Glacier Express train, try to sit on the left side for the best views.

  4. Bring a mix of cash and credit cards; cash is essential for taxis and golf cart deposits.

  5. Wear stable, non-slip, supportive walking shoes for the tender and the hills.

  6. Leave a 30-to-45-minute buffer before all-aboard time to account for tender lines and security.

  7. If walking to the Botanical Gardens, consider taking a taxi back down to save your joints.

  8. Don't rush into the first rental or shop you see at the pier; take a moment to get your bearings.
