Creator's Key Takeaways

May is considered one of the the months to uh travel as far as uh weather is concerned. Very little rain in May.

In May, the icebergs will be larger, more of them, and more impressive, but not big enough to sink the ship.

May cruises will definitely be less expensive than the middle of summer pricing.

Roberta and I have cruised Alaska in both May and August, and we truly recommend a May sailing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Do the layer thing and wear a backpack if possible to put the shed clothing in if the weather turns better.
โœ“Book early to save even more money on your Alaskan cruise.
โœ“Make sure you scan the horizon and the seas as you sail inlets, especially when getting closer to the ports.
