A simple guide to packing light, layering well, and staying stylish throughout your voyage
A journey to Alaska with Seabourn is a study in contrasts; crisp glacial air and cozy onboard luxury, untouched wilderness and refined dining. Packing for this adventure is all about balance and versatility. A capsule wardrobe — thoughtfully chosen, coordinated pieces that layer beautifully — ensures you travel lightly while feeling effortlessly polished.
Note: Every guest on an Alaska voyage receives a complimentary Seabourn all-weather jacket, ideal for exploring glaciers and coastal towns. With your top layer already provided, there’s no need to pack a bulky outer shell; just focus on layers and comfort.
Alaska’s weather can change quickly, so layering is key. Start with breathable base layers such as lightweight merino or moisture-wicking tops, then add a warm mid-layer like a cashmere sweater or fleece.
Essential pieces to include:
Footwear:
Accessories: Keep it simple — sunglasses, a neutral scarf, a statement piece of jewelry, and a waterproof crossbody bag by day that transitions to a clutch at night.
Classic, coordinated layers are the key to both warmth and sophistication. Begin with moisture-wicking base layers, then add a button-down shirt or pullover sweater. Your Seabourn all-weather jacket completes the look for outdoor excursions.
Essential pieces to include:
Footwear:
Accessories: A lightweight scarf, knit cap, waterproof backpack, and polarized sunglasses for glacier viewing keep comfort front of mind while maintaining a classic look.
With your Seabourn jacket provided and a capsule wardrobe designed for versatility, you’ll have everything you need for both adventure and elegance. From misty fjords to candlelit dinners at sea, packing smart means you can focus on what matters most — the extraordinary experience that awaits.
