We are looking at cruises from August 28th to September 4th of next year and wanted to find out how much daylight we would have. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much--I found the answer on that site--we'll have about 14 hours of daylight.

There is a big difference in the amount of daylight depending on where you are in Alaska. On the inside passage, way less than interior Alaska.

Thanks for the great site, Steve!

 

My pleasure...it's cool you can get the drop down box and get detailed information about multiple locations throughout the state as the place is so large and the daily conditions can change so much...:)

What's kind of deceiving is that they assign an exact minute when twilight occurs. I know, they have their precise astronomical definitions, but in Alaska it's really more a range of time, since it takes so long for the sun to make up its mind whether it's going to go down or not.

I guess in Alaska it's a female sun. :D arf arf
