What to pack for your Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska cruise holiday

Packing for two very different holidays in one trip can be a challenge. We’re here to help.

layers on the deck of alaska cruise ship

Layers

A major concern for any travellers to Alaska is the weather. Surely a cruise filled with icebergs and glaciers will be cold? Well actually, if you’re travelling in summer, it’ll be about the same as a UK spring. Pack layers for those warmer days and a jacket, hat and gloves for colder days on the deck or in the mountains.

what to wear

Essentials

Sturdy shoes, comfortable trousers, warm layers, gloves and hat, and a camera will do for both the train and the cruise.

On the train

Most guests wear casual dress, so wear clothes you are comfortable sitting in and sturdy, flat shoes to cope with the motion of the train.

what to wear on your cruise

On the cruise

A comfortable top with a warm fleece or jumper and windproof layer on top will cover all bases. Don’t forget your binoculars to spot wildlife!

dining on your cruise

Dining in style

Rocky Mountaineer has no dress code. The cruise will have one or two formal evenings, but it’s up to you whether to dress up or go smart-casual.

documents for your holiday

Documents

Don’t forget that you’ll be visiting two countries in one holiday if you visit Canada and Alaska. As well as your passport, Canada requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) to enter the country. The USA has different requirements, needing an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA). Both must be obtained in advance online.
