Alaskan Cruise & Excursion Checklist

Here is a list of items that will keep you comfortable on your 7 day Alaska Spring Cruise. 

 Clothing Recommendations:

• Waterproof hiking shoes or boots (1 Pair) - Merrell and Vasque are some of our favorites for all-terrain excursions.

• Walking Shoe (1 Pair) for the ship - Olukai has many styles available to keep your feet comfy aboard the cruise ship without sacrificing your personal style. 

• Moisture Wicking Socks (4-7 pairs) merino wool socks. Smartwool Socks really help hold the warmth in your hiking boot, while keeping your feet dry!

• Travel Underwear (3-7 pair) Saxx and ExOfficio offer undergarments that are moisture wicking, lightweight, and designed for travel convenience. 

•  Thermal underwear (1 pair) - Terramar has a great selection in mid weight thermal underwear. The 3.0 model is the warmest for the glaciers and dog sledding excursions, while the Terramar Silk is an all around perfect weight for everyday usage around town or on the decks of the cruise ship.

•  Shirts for layering (3-5) - Patagonia Capiliene Tees are light for layering, while the Kuhl and Orvis flannel shirts provide more substantial layering for off-boat excursions.

•  Pants or jeans (4 pair) - Kuhl offers lightweight, yet durable pants to keep you comfortable during excursions to both the iceberg (when layered with thermals) and rain forest. 

•  1 Fleece jacket - The Patagonia R1 Air Zip or Better Sweater fleece is the perfect weight, just put your rain jacket over this and you have the best of both worlds.

•  1 Rain jacket (rain pants are optional) - The Patagonia Torrentshell line is lightweight and packable. Great to keep in your day pack to grab at a moment's notice to block both wind and rain.

Accessories

• Daypack - Ameribag, Patagonia, and Osprey all have day pack options with different features to suite your needs.
