An Alaskan cruise is definitely one of those one in a lifetime experiences.You will see sights and animals that you never even new existed and are not visible any other way than by boat. You cannot even see them on Canada Holidays cruises. Its not like your normal cruise however, so the packing rules you're used to wont apply here.So which items are the most important to take?

Lots of warm clothes. It would really surprise you how many people go on Alaskan cruises and expect it to be warm enough to sunbathe. They just think crusie equally hot. Alaskan winters can get amazingly cold, frequently bordering on the -30 degrees celsius mark. If you go in the summer the temperatures can be pretty reasonably but if you are on the boat deck you will need warm clothes.

Binoculars. You really will regret it if you forgot to bring these. When all around you are pointing at things and smiling with joy, you will be struggling to make out a very small dot that could be a penguin. Because everything is so big in Alaska, including the boats, most of the things you want to look at will be reasonably small in comparison. ...
... Binoculars will save your eyesight and give you a much clearer picture of what is going on.

Camera. If you have camera with a big enough lens then you might not need to take bincoculars. However most people need to take both. A camera is not only useful for studying the pictures after you have taken them but also to share the experience of your great Alaska cruise with friends and family when you return.

Wildlife book.There is nothing more frustrating that seeing an interesting animal and not having a book to look it up in. It is also very interesting learning all about the animals and plant life, including the best times to spot them and understanding their behaviour.

Thermos. If you're likely to be spending a lot of your time above deck then you'll grow to fall in love with your thermos. There is not much more to explain about this.
