What to Know About Alaska in September

    • Weather: In September, temperatures cool down, ranging from 45°F to 60°F. Expect more frequent rain, so pack waterproof layers and sturdy shoes for both shore excursions and onboard activities.
    • Daylight Hours: While the days are shorter compared to summer, Alaska still enjoys around 12-14 hours of daylight, providing ample time to explore ports and scenic landscapes.

    • Wildlife: September is prime time for viewing wildlife, with chances to see bears preparing for hibernation, migratory birds, and whales before they head south.

    • Packing Essentials: Bring warm, layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable shoes for walking. Don’t forget a hat, gloves, and a camera to capture the breathtaking autumn scenery and wildlife.

    • Northern Lights: As the nights grow longer, there’s a better chance of seeing the northern lights. Keep an eye on clear nights for a glimpse of this magical phenomenon.

    • Excursions: Outdoor activities like glacier tours, hiking, and whale watching are still in full swing in September. Be sure to book early to secure your spot.

    • Crowds: The crowds begin to thin out in September as the cruise season winds down, making it a more peaceful time to explore Alaska’s natural beauty.
