Sarah Bretz Whether it’s your first cruise or your 20th, packing for Alaska is completely different than packing for other regions like the Caribbean or Mediterranean. To help alleviate some of your pre-cruise stress, we’ve created the ultimate Alaska cruise packing list detailing what you should bring, what you need to leave home, and what the ship may be able to provide for you. From unpredictable Alaska weather to various activities and occasions, this guide covers each detail so you’re not left wishing you had packed that one extra thing.
Here’s our complete 2026 guide to packing for a cruise to Alaska.
Key Things to Know BEFORE You Pack
Alaska cruise basics
Alaska is one of the top cruise destinations with more and more ships sailing the region every year on a variety of itineraries. You will find Alaska cruises sailing roundtrip routes from San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver, along with one-way routes that venture further north to Seward or Whittier, Alaska.
The Alaska cruise season generally runs from late April through early-mid October. During this timeframe, conditions vary a lot in terms of temperature, precipitation, crowds, abundance of wildlife, and — of course — price. Considering these factors will help you choose the best time to visit Alaska for you.
While the time of year you choose to cruise to Alaska will dictate to some degree what items you will need to include on your Alaska cruise packing list, many of the items remain the same. The type of excursions you book should also factor into what you pack. If you are planning hikes, kayak adventures, or other more rugged activities, you’ll need to make sure you have the right gear. In general, layers and rain gear are the MOST essential things to pack for your Alaska cruise.
What the weather should be like
The weather in Alaska can vary greatly. The beginning of the season (May-June) can be chilly, while the end of the season (September-October) tends to be chilly and rainy. Peak season, which runs from late June through August, tends to have the warmest and sunniest conditions. Therefore, how you should pack will, in part, depend on what month you’re sailing. When you’re getting ready to actually start packing, check the forecast in each port you’ll be visiting to get a better idea of the weather you’ll likely have during your trip.
Remember that, despite forecasts, Alaska weather can still be unpredictable. Whether or not the forecast calls for rain on your sailing, we recommend bringing an umbrella and light rain jacket or poncho just in case. If there’s a chance it’ll be hot out, make sure you have some shorts and t-shirts on hand.
The length of the trip and the laundry situation
As with just about any cruise, you’ll need at least two outfits per day on an Alaska voyage. One casual outfit for daytime wear, and another dressier outfit for the evening. You might want a few extra casual outfits, too, for days when you come back to the ship from port and want to freshen up but it’s not time for dinner yet. Of course, you can help lighten your suitcase by rewearing some of your pieces in multiple outfits.
Some cruise ship have self-service laundry rooms on stateroom decks for passengers’ use. This is a great amenity and can help you drastically reduce the amount of clothes you bring — especially if you’re taking a longer cruise. Keep in mind that there can often be more passengers that want to do laundry at a given time vs. the amount of washers and dryers available. If you run into this issue, try to do laundry early in the morning, late at night, or while other guests are in port.
There’s always the ship’s valet laundry service, too. Laundry is charged either per-item or by the bag, and is returned washed and folded a day or two later. Pressing and dry cleaning services are also available. Many cruisers try to avoid utilizing valet laundry because of the high cost, but it is available if needed.
What’s already included in your cabin
While the exact items available for your use in the cabin can vary, here are some staples you can expect across most cruise lines.
- Shampoo (and sometimes conditioner)
- Shower gel
- Bar soap/hand soap
- Body lotion (depending on the cruise line and your cabin category)
- Towels and washcloths
- Bathmats
- Pool towels (either in your cabin or out on deck)
- Hairdryer
- Use of robes and slippers (this can depend on your stateroom category)

- Clothing hangers
- Safe for valuables
- Mini fridge (more like a cooler; not usually as cold as a regular fridge)
- Bucket of ice (by request)
- Binoculars for viewing wildlife (usually only in high-tiered suites or on luxury lines)
What’s prohibited on board
There are a number of things that cruise lines do not allow guests to bring on board. Here are the most popular ones.
- Weapons
- Explosives
- Illicit drugs and substances (including marijuana, even if you’re departing from a state that allows it)
- Clothing irons and steamers
- Surge protectors
- Candles
- Electric tea kettles
- Coffee makers
- Skateboards
- Hover boards
- Alcoholic beverages beyond the allowed limit (which is usually a bottle or two of wine)

Clothes and shoes
Our Alaska cruise packing list outlines the potential clothing items you’ll want to pack for your Alaska cruise vacation. Regardless of where you’re traveling, we recommend grouping outfits into daytime use and nighttime use. For a typical 7-day cruise with a pre-cruise hotel stay, we usually plan eight daytime and eight nighttime outfits, choosing items that can be re-purposed for a couple uses.
When packing clothes for Alaska, the number one tip to remember is LAYERS. These should be of varying thicknesses and easily packable in a day bag. Temperatures can fluctuate sometimes 30-40 degrees in a given day, so you’ll need to be prepared to put on/remove layers throughout the day. You might not need to bring an extra-heavy sweater or parka-type coat, but you should have at least a jacket and some lighter sweaters on your list. Prepare for rain with a light rain jacket or poncho as well.
Also, keep in mind that your ship may have themed nights like white night (wear white), 80s neon night (wear neon 80s-themed outfits), or Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Night (wear red). Pack accordingly to join in on the fun!
Daytime Outfits
- Shirt sleeved shirts
- Long sleeved shirts (perhaps thermal base layers)
- Lightweight to medium weight sweaters, sweatshirts, and/or fleece zip-ups
- Outer layer puffer jacket and/or vest
- Moisture-wicking or rain-resistant pants
- Thermal base-layer pants/leggings (if you get cold easily)
- Jeans
- Shorts or capri pants
- Lightweight rain jacket
- Gloves/scarf
- Ear warmers and/or warm hat
Nighttime Outfits
Most cruise lines request that dinnertime attire is smart casual or resort casual. Think nicer pants, collared shirts, casual dresses, and skirts with nice tops. Alaska cruise attire tends to be quite casual overall.
Your cruise will likely have at least one formal night where guests dress up fancier than they normally would. This is where you’ll want to break out your cocktail dress and suit (or sport coat) with a shirt and tie.
- Nicer pants
- Casual dresses
- Dress tops
- Collared shirts
- Casual dresses
- Suit or sport coat
- Formal night shirt
- Tie
- Cocktail dress(es)
- Cardigan/wrap
Footwear/Other
You’ll need several pairs of shoes on your Alaska cruise packing list. You’ll want casual shoes that are good for walking while in port. A pair of sneakers are essential for the nicer days and more casual excursions, while you might want something like duck boots or hiking shoes for rainy days and more active adventures.
You might also want to bring a pair of sandals or slippers for time spent in your cabin and out and about on the ship. If you’re planning an excursion like a glacier walk, the tour company should provide “boots” that go over your shoes, so you don’t have to worry about that.
- Sneakers
- Duck boots or hiking shoes
- Sandals and/or slippers
- Dressier pair of sandals, flats, or heels for dinner (women)
- Dressier pair of shoes for dinner (men)
- Optional: another pair of dressy shoes for formal night
There are also some other clothing items that you’ll want to pack for your Alaska cruise:
- Gym clothes (if you plan to work out)
- Swimwear and cover up (for hot tubs, pools (indoor or outdoor), and the spa’s thermal suite)
- Pajamas
- Bras
- Underwear
- Socks (bring a few pairs of heavy socks for colder days, too)
- Belt
Electronics
Admittedly, we pack much more in this category than most cruisers. So, our suggestion is to pick and choose your essential devices — whether they be smartphones, laptops, tablets, or cameras. For an Alaska cruise in particular, we highly recommend bringing a camera if you have one. Your smartphone’s camera will not do the Alaskan scenery and wildlife justice. Bonus points if you have a zoom lens, as it will be perfect for taking long-distance photos.
Even if you don’t own a camera or zoom lenses, there are websites where you can rent this equipment relatively inexpensively. You should also consider an action camera that is waterproof for excursions, like a GoPro or 360 camera. After all, you want to capture memories that will last a lifetime.
- Phone and charger
- Portable power bank
- Tablet and charger
- Smart watch and charger
- Headphones/earbuds
- Laptop and charger
- Camera, lens(es), batteries, battery charger, and memory card
- Outlet adapter/converter (if needed)
- AirTags or other item trackers
Miscellaneous items and extras
- Binoculars (for spotting wildlife from the ship)
- Magnets and other door decorations (if allowed on your cruise line)
- Towel clips
- Packaged snacks for a quick bite while in port (like protein or granola bars)
- Luggage scale
- Travel journal
- Books to read
- Playing cards
- Glow sticks (if your ship has a white hot or 80s party)
- Extra pair of glasses
- Printed emergency contact list
- Baby/toddler care items (if applicable)
- Holiday or celebration decor for the cabin (crepe paper, balloons, signs, etc., if applicable)
What The Ship May Be Able to Provide
If you have a baby or toddler, have someone in your group with special needs, or need special accommodations for another reason, your cruise ship may be able to provide needed items for free or for a nominal charge. Examples include:
- Pack ‘n Plays or portable cribs
- Distilled water for CPAP machines or other medical needs
- Wheelchairs (usually just for embarking/disembarking)
- Mattress toppers
- Extension cords for medical needs
- Extra pillows
- Strollers
Packing Strategy: Tips and Tricks
Use Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are a great way to organize your clothes so they’re easier to unpack on the ship. You can group them by type (tops, bottoms, underwear, etc.), by outfit, by day, or by person. If you love organization and to have everything in its own “compartment,” packing cubes are the way to go.
Pack Outfits By Day
Having your outfits planned ahead of time takes the guesswork out of what to wear each day, meaning you can get to the fun even faster. When you’re packing, take the time to pick out each day’s daytime and evening outfits. Then, roll your clothes up (it helps save space and prevents wrinkles!) and pack outfits together (this is where packing cubes can come in handy). Heavier or larger items such as hoodies, jackets, or jeans can go towards the bottom or top of your suitcase.
Leave Space For Souvenirs
If you’re like most cruisers, you’ll bring home at least a few things to remember your Alaska cruise by. Ships sell both luxury and cruise line-branded goods, and you’ll probably want to pick up some souvenirs in various ports, too. Be sure to leave some wiggle room in your suitcase for the mementos you’ll inevitably want to go home with.

Are there any unconventional items that are essential to pack for an Alaska cruise that aren’t typically included on packing lists?”,
“refusal
Mary
I was so happy to read about suggested items to pack for our Alaska cruise. But you recommended a battery pack that I ordered….and it cannot be taken on a plane. You should be clear when making this suggestion.
Deb
Thanks for your list! We will be going on a 14 day cruise from June 21, til July 5th, 2020, land and train trip from Vancouver, BC to Fairbanks. So it looks like we will have to pack for all kinds of weather.
Brenda
We are looking forward our Alaskan cruise in September. My first trip to Alaska. Suggest using a vacuum bag to pack your clothes in to help with space and with bulky clothing. Puff jackets take up a lot of space but using the vacuum bags will allow you to pack additional clothing if needed. I bought the bags on Amazon, comes with a hand pump and easy to seal and pack. It also keeps your clothes organized day time, night time bags. You can also use them organize your toiletries, make-up, accessories so they won’t be “floating” around your luggage. And if you bring any liquids, meds, etc, you can put them in the bags, vacuum them and they are all there air-tight and spill proof. Hope this suggestion helps and have a wonderful cruise be safe and healthy!
delinquenthabits
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who was conducting
a little research on this. And he actually bought me dinner simply because I stumbled upon it
for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanx for spending the time to discuss this topic here on your internet site.
Melissa
Thank you for the great and detailed packing list! My family of 4 is heading to Alaska on Thursday! I will be adding and deleting to my suitcase in the morning! Thanks again for the tips!
Gwen
We pack for one week (going for 3 weeks) and laundry is $7 per day…so we send it out and it comes back ready to wear. We will ea bring one medium suitcase (2 of us) and a third med suitcase for cold/rainy gear (jackets, hoodies, gaiters, gloves, beanies, vests (must bring a vest!) workout clothes, water bottles, hiking and riding clothes, etc…bug spray and sunscreen go here. We both carry our backpacks and small carry on with thing you can’t check. And we also each carry a bottle of wine (preferably bubbles) on board for disembark and gala nights. It helps we come from CO, so know about layering and waterproof stuff.
Mary
You were rude in your comments. Typing in all capital letters is equivalent to screaming.
susan johnson
It’s extremely convenient and I’m not going until next September of 2017. In the meantime, I am reading everything I get my hands on! Thank you so much.
Cindy Gilbert
Thanks so much for your list. Do you consider formal for women a long dress or cocktail dress? and did you find heels a pain with all the walking on the ship? Do you have temperature control in your room? I did not see robes listed. Do you need layers while on the ship or just excursions? I like a nice sweater or shrug with a cocktail dress but I don’t want to be sweltering at the dinner table or at a show! I am a notorious overpacker. and can’t wait til our cruise in September!
susan johnson
I’m concerned about temperature control especially in my room as I like it cold.
Margaret Morris
Hi,
Thank you for posting your list as a guideline. We are gong to Alaska next May on the Solstice. We are going on the 9-day with a 3-day stay afterward in Seattle. I have read to pack and dress in layers, so I am working on my list already. How dress were the formal nights? What did you like best about the Solstice? I have never been on a cruise before, nor been to Alaska. Also, did you do some of the excursions? I’m not really into “touristy” things so much, but do want to go whale watching.
Thank you,
Margie
Kathy Smith
We are heading to Alaska on the Solstice this Friday and am using your list. I always overpack so its great to have a guide. I also sent it to my son who is meeting us in Seattle and he tends to do everything last minute so I hope it helps him to remember things without his mom harassing him. Did you wear your 3 in 1 coat on the ship or was it mainly for the excursions? Thanks!
Gina
This was most helpful. Some sites list the basics but not the quantities. I especially like the recommendation for the Belkin outlet…great find. We go in september and we tend to pack a lot. I’d rather not have to do laundry during our cruise. Also we will be going on to Vancouver and Victoria afterwards so will need clothes for that too.
One question…did you find the ship chilly like in the dining room, performances, etc? Or will a 3/4 sleeve Tee be enough onboard? We also always take a flash light, nite light,
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
Hi Gina, Thanks for reading and the comment. We go a bit overboard when it comes to packing for our cruise. Good idea about adding a flash light-we actually just started bring a batter operated nightlite and a compact room freshener. We did not find the ship to be cold. We packed night time clothes we normally wear on a Caribbean cruise and found the temperature onboard to be just right. The wife did bring two light cardigans to wear in case she needed them, but she never broke them out. Happy cruising.
LJ
Nice list! Would be helpful to know how long your cruise was – or did I miss that?
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
Hi LJ, thanks for the comment. Glad you found the list useful. We did a seven night Alaskan cruise, departing from Seattle. We did a pre-cruise stay the night before, so a total of 8 nights. When is your Alaskan cruise. Appreciate you reading the post.
Amanda Oleski
This is great! My husband and I are going on our Honeymoon trip to Alaska in a couple weeks and couldn’t be more excited. I’m happy to have a packing list to compare mine too 🙂
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
HI Amanda. Congrats to you and your husband. An Alaskan cruise is a great honeymoon. We would love to hear how your list compares to ours. Appreciate you reading the post and leaving a comment. Have a great cruise!
Ron
We are going on an Alaska cruise next week, so this list is very welcome. I’ve been on Caribbean cruises, so packing for Alaska will be different in terms of clothing but the cruise “essentials” are about the same.
Tricia
Awesome list! We are headed to Alaska in 3 1/2 weeks for the first time ever! So excited! I’ve copied this list to help with our packing! Thanks for all the details!
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
Hi Tricia, thanks for the comment. Glad you found the list useful. We are all about the details! We are a bit crazy. Would love to hear about your cruise. Which ship are you sailing on?
Megan
My 12 year old son and I are going on our very first Alaskan cruise in 4 weeks!! So glad I found this list…
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
Hi Megan, glad this list was helpful. We would love to hear about the cruise once you get back!
carol
Soooo glad I found this post. I can’t wait for my trip to Alaska!
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
Thanks Carol for the comment. We are glad you found the list too! When do you sail to Alaska? We can’t wait to get back there as it is an amazing place to visit. Happy Cruising.
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
Thanks Carol for the comment. We are glad you found the list too! When do you sail to Alaska? If you have any questions, just let us know. Have a great trip!
Claire
which did you wear more your uggs or your hunter boots? I am going on this cruise in august. I excited and want to start shopping around for what i need!
DB
Thanks Claire for the comment. The wife only wore the uggs one day, during our glacier excursion, and those were not necessary as the tour company provide adequate footwear. Pack the hunter boots! Those were essential given the rainy weather. You can always pack some sock liners in case it is cold. Have a great cruise!
Cindy
Thank you for answering that! We are heading to Alaska (cruise & land) in August and I wasn’t sure about the Hunter boots (in replacement of or in addition to the Uggs) because they are so bulky to pack! Glad to hear that it’s worth it to take them ………
regarding pants – would running pants/leggings (nylon/polyester) be better than jeans? Concerned about jeans taking so long to dry & I was afraid I couldn’t get as many wears out of them.
thank you for putting together such a helpful list!
DB and The Princess (@EatSleepCruise)
HI Cindy. Sorry for missing this message. We packed Jeans as well as some hiking pants which came in handy. These were lightweight, nylon material that are “weather proof”. You can get them at LL Bean or other outdoors stores. Those really came in handy. My husband also wore some more traditional snow pants for the glacier tour, but it really wasn’t necessary. We suggest both a pair of jeans and a pair of versatile all weather pants. Thanks for reading and appreciate the kind words about the list. We can’t wait to get back to Alaska!
XmasDolly
All I can tell you for an Alaskan trip is have a great time. I’m staying here where its warmer. Much warmer! I’m definitely not a person for cold temperatures. brrrrrrrrrrrrr just thinking about it makes me shiver!
DB
LOL Dolly. Alaska is certainly a beautiful place to visit, but honestly it is not too cold when you travel in the summer. We got lucky with some great weather, so it was unseasonable warm. Thanks for the comment!
pickettfamily
Alaska, how cool to travel there! I’ve never been, but thanks for the tips! In case I do go, I’d be very well prepared.
DB
GLad you found the post useful Pickett Family. Definitely get out there and explore Alaska. It is a great family vacation, especially when you travel by cruise ship. Appreciate the comment. Thanks for reading.
Penny Struebig
What a nice idea to write out your packing list. I’m so bad at over packing. Maybe if I made a list like this and noted what I didn’t use I would stop taking too much stuff on my trips.
Stephanie C.
Such a great packing list! I don’t know that I’ll be taking a cruise to Alaska anytime soon, but I really love these suggestions as a reference!
roselynn787
I have never been on a cruise but I have always wanted to go so badly. An Alaskan cruise sounds like so much fun and you sound like you have everything set for your trip!
Myrabev
I have never been on a cruise of any sort but I absolutely love your list of what to pack on the cruise
Aisha Kristine Chong
Now this is definitely some awesome advice for a cruise – will make use of it once we do have one.
Shanéy Vijendranath
This list will be so handy for many! Planning on going on a cruise, will definitely use this. Thanks for a great post.
Tyra
Great list! I have been wanting to go to Alaska, maybe on a cruise. Thanks for the guide!
Sharon Ulery Ruggieri
Never been on a cruise, never been to Alaska. Suddenly my life feels very empty 😉
tanjtrubiano
Alaska is on my list of places to see. Thank you for this awesome and detailed packing list!
tammileetips
Alaska is one of my favorite places to cruise to! This is very similar to our list when we cruise to Alaska.
Cara (@StylishGeek)
Wow! This is an amazing packing list! Thank you very much for the tips! Our family will definitely try to do an Alaskan cruise and your lists will come in handy! 🙂
Christy Maurer
Thanks for this detailed list! I’m not sure I ever want to go on a cruise though I would love to go on a European river cruise.
Liz Mays
I’d love to do one of these some day. I’ll have to take your advice when it comes to packing because I’ve never gone on a cruise like that!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle
This is a great post. I went on an Alaskan cruise last year, and it was great. You really do need to pack accordingly when you head to a place like Alaska.
Fi Ní Neachtáin
I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise, I bet it would be so beautiful to see the landscapes of Alaska from both ship and land. Thank you for the packing suggestions.
Michele
I have never been on a cruise much less one to Alaska! Those are good recommendations to take and what you will not need. Might as well save some of that overweight luggage fee to spend on stiff to bring home as gifts or mementos.
Kathy mendez
We are going to on our Alaska cruise in 3 days, can’t wait. I’ve packed close to your list. We’ll see how it goes!!!
Gail
Great packing suggestions! Hopefully someday we can take an Alaskan cruise and will keep this packing list handy!
Mayra
It’s a ridiculous packing list. You can easily take one third of what is listed and be perfectly acceptable. Who the hey packs 16 pairs of underwear? Trust me, not even astronauts going to Space Station. Pack no more than 4 and wash them with regular soap every day when you shower – dry them in the closet on a hanger if you are shy about leaving them in the bathroom to dry. Who packs 2 pairs of gloves for each person??? CRAZY. If you live in cold weather, you’d know only one pair is perfectly fine. 3 pajamas? WHY? 11 pairs of shoes? DUMB. Rick Steves would kick her out of his tour group. Seriously, don’t follow this list. It’s ridiculous.
Kelly
I take 15 pair of underwear for 1 week trip. They don’t take that much room. A pair of pajamas for every 3 or 4 nights. Clean socks and shirt every day. Who wants to hand wash clothes and wear stiff clothes. I would rather take am extra suitcase and have plenty of clean clothes and not scrimp. As a single person on a cruise I take 2 check in bags a carry on and a personal item unless I am flying overseas with higher lbaggage fees
D D Butcher
REALLY! i THINK YOUR “CUT AND DRIED” COMMENTS WENT ACROSS THE METER BOARD TO RUDE AND PREACHY. THIS ARTICLE WAS MEANT TO ASSIST AND INSPIRE, EVERYONE CAN TAKE ANY OF IT OR NOT, NO NEED TO SET THE ANGRY TONE.
Sarah Thieman
By you saying, “no need to set the angry tone”, you do realize that by posting in all caps is pretty angry and aggressive. Oh, and chill with the caps lock sis.
Hillary
I was tempted to disagree with you Mayra until I read that they packed 4 suitcases with 170 lbs of luggage. That seems a little excessive for a party of two. We will be sailing to Alaska in a week and plan on taking one larger suitcase for our two children and two carry ons for me and DH. Three suitcases total. Doesn’t leave a lot of room for all those shows that’s for sure!
Randy
Depending on the age and size of your children they may fit better in two suitcases. When we put our kids in one suitcase to transport them easier they complained too loudly at luggage checkin.
