Creator's Key Takeaways

First one, it's unexpected, but believe it or not, sunglasses.

You don't even have to book a whale watching tour to potentially see some whale tales just from your cruise ship.

It's important to pack and dress in layers in Alaska because the climate can be so varied and even change in one port day.

Many of the ports can be drizzly, especially popular Ketchacan, which is the rain capital of Alaska.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack sunglasses for sunny days in Alaska.
Bring binoculars to spot whales from the ship.
Wear a hooded coat and dress in layers for varied and drizzly weather.
