Whens the most affordable time to go to Alaska?
There are two seasons for Alaska – Shoulder Season and Peak Season. Shoulder Season includes cruises in May, the first week of June, the last week of August and all of September. Peak Season is most of June, July and August. Peak Season tends to cost more because the weather is better and that is when more people can travel. The kids are out of school and that’s when folks take their family vacation. Since demand higher, so are the prices. However, if you can travel in Shoulder Season, when demand is lower, you can take advantage of special promotions and pricing. While pricing may May and September but Alaska is certainly no less spectacular. Whether you cruise when the Inside Passage is blanketed with spring wildflowers or ablaze with fall foliage you’ll be awed at Alaska’s natural wonders. Cruise Lines will also offer early booking discounts if you book your cruise by their Early Booking deadlines.
