Alaska’s Inside Passage: Glaciers, Fjords & Indigenous Culture
After you enroll, we’ll ask you to provide or update your personal information and preferences, which includes your health information, lodging and meal preferences for your program.
A picture ID (passport, state issued ID, or driver's license) will be required to board the vessel. If you prefer to have your passport with you, you are welcome to bring it. One or more of the meals on your program must be pre-selected. For your convenience, we have created an online form that can be filled out on any mobile device or computer. The link can be found in the Recommended Websites section of your pre-program information packet. We expect it will take less than 5 minutes to complete. At the bottom of the form there is a submit button. After submitting your form, you will have the opportunity to “submit another response” if you are traveling with someone in the same household. This form must be completed 14 days prior to your program start date. If we do not receive your submission prior to this deadline, meals will be selected on your behalf by Road Scholar based on any dietary restrictions listed in your Personal Information and Preferences form. Late submissions will not be accepted and meal selections cannot be changed after the 14-day deadline. Thank you for your understanding. Road Scholar participants enrolling in this program are subject to American Cruise Line’s terms and conditions of carriage, which include an assumption of risk agreement, waiver of liability, and other important information regarding your rights and obligations. Participants are therefore encouraged to carefully review them in advance of the program. A web link to American Cruise Line’s terms and conditions can be found in the Recommended Websites section of your pre-program packet.

A modern cruise ship has many engineered devices to minimize ship motion and generally ship motion is minimal or non-existent. However, if you are prone to sea sickness check with your health provider to see what strategy might work best for you.
