Best Time to Cruise ALASKA? Here's why May might Surprise you!
Thinking about cruising to Alaska in May? In this video, we break down the REAL pros and cons of visiting Alaska at the very start of cruise season. May can be one of the cheapest and least crowded times to cruise to Alaska — with lower fares, better cabin availability, quieter ports, and even snow-covered mountain scenery you won’t see later in the summer. But there are tradeoffs too, including colder temperatures, unpredictable weather, rain, and the possibility that some excursions or seasonal attractions may not be fully open yet. If you’re trying to decide when to book your Alaska cruise, this video will help you figure out whether the savings and smaller crowds are worth the colder weather.
