Creator's Key Takeaways

I honestly think it might be worth just holding off and going next year.

It's actually a really good time still. So, I wouldn't chalk it off your list just because, you know, bears might not be on the menu.

Cruising through Alaska in my opinion is the best way to see Alaska.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack layers and versatile shoes for changing temperatures.
Splurge for a balcony to enjoy private views and wildlife.
Choose late season for fewer crowds and fall colors.
Read reviews before booking excursions.
Understand your itinerary and ship size for scenic cruising.
