Packing for Alaska


“Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.”  Charles Dudley Warner, The Simplify-Your-Life Quote Book, (New York: Random House, 2005), 133.

How does one pack for a two week trip?  What kind of clothes does one need for an Alaskan cruise tour?  We discussed this issue several times in our planning sessions.  Veteran Alaska travelers say jeans, comfortable tennis shoes and layers of clothes, including a rain-resistant jacket.  We also learned that laundry is available at the Princess lodges as well as the cruise ship.  So we decided to “take half the clothes and twice the money.”  We kept our clothing simple with layers to keep us comfortable.  Simplicity was our wardrobe goal during our Alaskan vacation.
