For those going to Alaska from Vancouver, your ship is in and the weather is fantastic!

Not going on a cruise, but I love the second photo with the north shore mountains in the background  . Not many cities can beat Vancouver on a sunny day. |

I've always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise from Vancouver (which is where I live). Anyone know the best time of year to go - not too too cold, but good visibility, etc.

I love Vancouver and I'm very jealous of anyone going on an Alaskan cruise. That's all  |

Vancouver is supposed to go up to 22C today and that's not downtown, so coming from a long time west coaster I think June, July and Aug are all great months for Alaskan cruises. Today's weather is perfect for exploring the city and then departing. You'll love it!

Anyone know the best time of year to go - not too too cold, but good visibility, etc. We cruised from Vancouver in 2009 the first week of June. The Captain, cruise staff, naturalist, etc. kept mentioning how lucky we were to have perfect weather. |

That was us returning this day 4 years ago on the Zuiderdam. Four generations sailing to Alaska for my Papa's 83rd birthday!

The first time was end of June/beginning of July, so it was right after the solstice and days were still very, very long which was cool to experience. There is also at least on hour of light before and after the sun set/rise. |

Anyone know the best time of year to go - not too too cold, but good visibility, etc. Our sailing in mid-August a few years ago was quite foggy and damp but we expected it so we were prepared. I think weather is never 100% predictable but in the case of the Alaskan cruise it didn't affect our plans. |

Our cruise left Vancouver in early June--great weather and a good time. Beautiful scenery.
