Things to Pack for Alaska
11
items I’ve been to Alaska five times on cruises, and by now I’ve learned exactly how to pack for it. It’s not always cold enough to justify bringing every heated item, but I always bring a few cozy layers just in case. My favorite part of every trip is sit...

Things That Keep Me Warm
Stay warm on your Alaska cruise with my must-have packing list featuring heated jackets, scarves, and HotHands warmers. Perfect for balcony whale watching, glacier views, and chilly port days.
I love this heated jacket because it lets me stay outside on my balcony for hours without freezing. Even on cooler Alaskan evenings, I can sit wrapped in it watching whales and mountains go by without needing bulky layers. It heats up fast, covers th...

HotHands Toe, Hand, & Body Warmer Variety Pack - Long Lasting Safe Natural Odorless Air Activated Warmers
HotHands Warmers: Alaska Cruise Cozy Secret
If you aren't hanging out on the cruiseship balcony very long, you won't likely need this. I like to watch for whales, so I bundle up.
Rechargable Heated Scarf
I absolutely love taking my BrüMate Müv on an Alaska cruise because the standard mugs provided on ships are notoriously tiny and have no insulation, meaning your coffee is usually ice-cold by the time you've navigated the long trek from the buffet ba...

Things For Your Cruise Cabin
When I’m setting up my cruise cabin, I like to bring a few things that make it feel more comfortable and functional. I always pack magnetic hooks because almost every cabin wall is metal, and they’re perfect for hanging hats, jackets, and lanyards. I...
When I pack for Alaska, I always bring these heavy-duty magnetic hooks. The walls in cruise cabins are metal, so these instantly give me more hanging space without damaging anything. I use them for coats, scarves, hats, even wet gloves after an excur...
These Stick To Cruise Cabin Walls
Since ship Wi-Fi can be spotty and not everyone wants to carry their phone while heading to the pool, these boards act as a low-tech messaging center. You can let your cabin mates know you're at the "Lido Deck" or tell friends to "meet at the theater...
These Stick To The Cruise Cabin Door and Walls
I love that it pops open to create an instant, sturdy home for all my heavy layers—like flannel shirts and wool socks—and then folds back down into a flat, tiny circle that disappears into my suitcase for the flight home. The dual-handle design is a ...
This Laundry Basket Collaspes and Packs Easily
I love this because every cruise cabin I’ve ever been in has too few outlets, and this compact little power strip fixes that problem without breaking any cruise rules. It’s non-surge protected, so it’s fully compliant, and still lets me plug in every...
Cruise Approved Power Strip w/ 2 USB Outlets
Luggage Essentials
Before you even start packing your Alaska cruise wardrobe, having the right luggage essentials makes the process smoother. From waterproof luggage tags that survive port weather to packing cubes that keep outfits organized for every excursion, these ...
When I’m packing for a cruise, I never skip these waterproof luggage tag holders. The first time I sailed to Alaska, my printed paper tags got soaked from mist and light rain before I even made it onboard. Since switching to these, my tags stay clean...
Waterproof Cruise Luggage Tag Holders
I use this magnetic luggage strap every time I travel because it makes airport days so much easier. It clips my personal bag securely to my suitcase handle, so I can move hands-free through check-in lines and terminals. The magnetic buckle is super s...
This Belt Holds your Extra Luggage
Things For The Trip
I always bring this one on cruises because it’s compact, fast, and flight-safe. Outlets in cruise cabins are limited, so I like having my own reliable power source for my phone, camera, and heated gear. It’s ultra-slim, fits easily in a pocket or cro...
