Congratulations on your upcoming Alaska cruise! While planning and packing for our Alaska cruise I had no idea where to start. I did a lot of research on items not to forget. I have provided for you a quick guide on a few of my favorite products. Click the affiliate link to view more information of each product on Amazon.
1. Luggage Tags


You have arrived to the cruise port and it’s time to drop off your luggage before going onboard. You printed a paper luggage tag that you pray doesn’t tear and turn your bags into Lost and Found. These luggage tags took the worry out of the possibility of your bags not making it to our stateroom. They offer great protection for your paper-printed tags and stay secure to your luggage.
2. Magnetic Hooks


Did you know the metal walls of your stateroom cabin can accommodate magnets? These heavy-duty magnet hooks were perfect for hanging wet jackets and clothing to dry after a long day ashore.
3. Waterproof Pack


This waterproof pack was a game changer. Southeastern Alaska is home to the world’s largest temperate rainforest and can have up to 200 inches of rain per year. This pack kept our belongings dry while enjoying shore excursions like whale watching. It was able to hold extra layers during warmer weather along with our stateroom cards, phones, wallets, and other personal items. Definitely worth the price!
4. Phone-Friendly Winter Gloves


Want to be able to use your phone and keep your hands warm? These gloves are perfect to allow you to snap pictures on your touchscreen device and keep your hands warm. It’s a win-win!
5. Compact Binoculars


These packing-friendly binoculars save space in your suitcase and provide you with the ability to look for wildlife from the ship. These are a great option for families with small kids. They are easy to use and fun for all.
