Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time for an Alaska cruise?

The Alaska cruise season runs from May through September. June through August offer the warmest weather and longest days, while May and September can offer better deals and fewer crowds.

What should I pack for an Alaska cruise?

Pack layers including waterproof jackets, warm sweaters, comfortable walking shoes, and binoculars for wildlife viewing. Even in summer, temperatures can be cool, especially near glaciers.

What is onboard credit (OBC)?

Onboard credit is ship money you can use during your cruise—like a prepaid gift card. Spend it on drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, excursions, or onboard shopping.

How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?

Travel agents earn commission on every booking, and most keep it. We don't—we pass back the maximum onboard credit the cruise line allows, every time.

Do I pay more to book with Zipsea?

No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website—except we give you back the maximum onboard credit on top.

How much onboard credit will I actually get?

It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
