steveb61 0 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi all, this will be our fourth cruise, all of which have been different types, this time we fly to San Francisco on the 29th of April to celebrate our wedding anniversary there on the 1st of May. Our debate is although our luggage allowance lets my wife bring the kitchen sink what type of clothing should we take on to Alaska. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sammy sun 1084 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi steve, I haven't done an Alaskan itinerary myself but my family members recently cruised with NCL to Alaska in September last year. They were fortunate to get great weather while they were over there but definitely said you need to make sure you've got layers with you as although its great when the sun shines, the cold can still be quite biting so it's worth packing an extra few layers for the trip if you can squeeze them in.

DavidH 593 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi Steve, Sammy is right, layers are the key. Lightweight fleeces are ideal but do make sure you have windproof and waterproof layers available to add as and when necessary. We did a Princess cruise and land tour in late August/early September a few years ago. Seeing the glaciers in early morning sun from the balcony was fantastic but I kept having to nip back into the cabin to add an extra layer of clothing until I felt comfortable. Enjoy!!

Guest Solent Richard Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hows about this... And the heavier outer garments you can either carry/wear on your flight. Where there is a will there is a way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldworldtraveller 2222 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have recently returned from the Arctic and Northern Cape where it was minus 28c. I found that the thermal underwear from Marks and Spencer was excellent. Whilst you are going in the Spring and it will be nothing like as cold I would recommend these items if you are worried about keeping warm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monica 31 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yes definitely layers and a waterproof jacket. plus some good walking boots! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oceanview 24 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I’d take a couple of layers, a waterproof jacket and good pair of walking boots. I’d also pack a scarf, gloves etc, you can never be too over prepared when going somewhere like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
