Alaska Land & Cruise Question

Recommended Posts

We are looking at doing an Alaska Land & Cruise in late May or 1st Week of June in 2018. What kind of weather and snow conditions should we expect? We did one several years ago, but it was in late July and loved it. However, with the adult daughters schedules they can only go in late May or Early June.

We had pretty good weather when we did our cruise tour in May/Jun. There were days that it rained (In fact our first day in Denali was rain/sleet/snow). We were the first southbound cruise that year, and found some snow on the ground in many places on the land portion of the tour (Yukon and Alaska).

 

Juneau we found the weather to be identical in June and September - 60 degrees and drizzly rain.

 

Glacier Bay, pretty much the same in June and September.

You could get about anything from always sunny to raining the whole time. Pack a lot of layer options for your clothes, and don't forget the rain gear. It'll probably be nice, but you never know. We've gone in May more than once and gotten everything from monsoon-like rain to sunny and 80 degrees in the ports. :)
