I agree, Denali must be experienced! If you are in the Anchorage area, you should visit the Musk Ox Ranch and the Reindeer Farm in Palmer. Independence Mine in Hatcher Pass is very informative and has great views. In Seward , visit the Seward Sea Life Center and then a visit to the AK Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage. You must see the Iditarod Museum in Wasilla. In Anchorage there is the Botanical Gardens, the Ulu Factory, the Wildberry store, and the Airport Museum. Remember, there are festivals going on in most places. Too bad you won’t be here in late Aug/early Sept so you could catch the fabulous Ak State Fair with its world record setting veggies. Enjoy your trip, take plenty of pics, and write in a journal. You will have an exciting trip!

BEAUTIFUL.
Atad rainy at spots and at times, you are traveling rainforest regions afterall.
Hardly ever cold, A light jacket and you’ll be fine. Even when viewing glaciers up close.

The weather will change a lot during your cruise. The farther north you go up the Inside Passage, the greater chance that you will see some wind and rain. I’ve seen a few 80+ degree days in Juneau in the summer, but I’ve also seen some chilly ones. Alaska is very big and encompasses more than one type of climate. If your cruise goes up into Glacier Bay, or farther north, the weather will be different there, too. Glacier Bay is chilly, and Fairbanks is hot. (except for last summer, when it rained most of the time)
I would suggest that for your shore excursions that you wear a good pair of walking shoes, such as tennis shoes. If you want to take the tour where you walk on a glacier, or if you plan to walk around Juneau and Ketchikan, or go out on deck, even if it is raining, then you might also want to bring some sort of waterproof footwear. The little short waterproof booties work fine. You don’t need to wear knee-high rubber boots.
Also bring a light jacket, such as something made of polar fleece and a raincoat. Or bring a waterproof coat that has a fleece lining. Lightweight gloves and a warm fleece or knit hat would be a good idea, too.
Let’s hope that you don’t need to wear any of these, but chances are that you will need them all at some point during your cruise.
While in Juneau, be sure and visit the Alaska State Museum. If you like antiquarian books, the Observatory Bookstore is within walking distance of the docks. Great Alaskan Native art can be found at Raven’s Journey. I hope that your ship stops in Sitka. It’s a gem of a town. If you end up in Fairbanks, be sure and see the University of Alaska Museum.
Have a great trip!
