As weather patterns around the world are becoming less predictable the information we provide should be used as a guide only and is no guarantee of the weather at the time you travel. We also recommend checking up-to-date weather forecasts before you travel.

  Whilst travelling on our Alaska Inside Passage cruise, daytime highs are mild – generally around 15ºC, while night time lows are around 5ºC. Although it is worth noting that the weather can change quickly in Alaska at any time of year. You should also be prepared for light mist and rain at any time.

  Cash is not accepted for individual transactions, e.g. bars, the shops, spa, shore excursions. Cash is accepted in the onboard casino.

  All onboard purchases and services are charged to your account by using your stateroom keycard, which is activated when you provide a credit card(s) (Visa®, Mastercard® and American Express®) as part of your pre-cruise check-in process. A deposit of $60 per person per cruise day will be taken on embarkation. At the end of your cruise, you will receive a final statement, and your card will be charged only for the actual cost of your purchases.

• How much should I tip in Alaska?

  Unlike the UK, tipping is very much common practice in the USA and whilst mostly discretionary, it is expected. For restaurants you should look to add 15%-20% to your bill. For taxis add 15% to the fare.

  On the Alaskan Cruise, a gratuity of $16 USD per person per day will be added to your onboard account, unless you have a pre-purchased package that includes gratuities. This is in order to recognize the many team members throughout the ship who contribute to the guest experience.

  An 18% service charge is automatically applied to all beverage purchases, bar retail items, specialty restaurant cover charges, all for-purchase a la carte menu items, and all Spa & Salon services.

• What are the entry requirements for Alaska?

  The following information on entry requirements, passports and visas is for British Citizens only. Any visa information covers visa requirements for the duration our tour stays in any given country. If you intend to stay longer you should seek additional information before booking.

  Holders of a British Subject passport, non-British citizens and holders of a passport endorsed in any way should check immigration requirements with the relevant embassy or consulate of the country to be visited, as should clients with dual nationality or renounced citizenship.

  It is important to recognise that whilst the information below is correct at the time we go to print, all requirements may change and all clients must check the up to date position in good time before departure with the Embassy or consulate of the country(ies) you are travelling through and to.

  We also suggest referring to the UK government’s Foreign Travel Advice website,  for advice about travelling abroad, including the latest information on safety and security, entry requirements and travel warnings.

• Do I need to renew my passport?

  A valid ten-year British passport is required for all our holidays, valid for a minimum of six months after your return date to the UK. If you are not currently in possession of a valid passport please make sure you leave plenty of time before your holiday to apply for this document.

  A full British passport presently takes approximately up to 10 weeks to obtain. If you are 16 or over and have not yet arranged a passport, you should apply for one at least six weeks before your departure from the UK. The UK Passport Service has to confirm an applicant’s identity before issuing their first passport and will ask them to attend an interview in order to do this. Please note, if you need to apply for visas after you receive your new passport, you will need to factor in additional time for this.

  For more information on passport and entry requirements please visit the Government Passport Office website, or see our website for more details.

  Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide and may change at any time. You should take health advice from your GP or local travel clinic about your specific needs as early as possible and ensure that vaccinations or preventative measures are taken early enough (which may be a month or more prior to departure) to be fully effective by the date of travel.
