When Is The Best Time Of Year For Whale Watching On An Alaska Cruise? You’re in luck. April to November is the best time to see whales in Alaska and that nicely aligns with the Alaska cruise season. Like most of us, whales enjoy Alaska in the spring and summer months, when the days are long and food is plentiful. Some whales are in Alaska year-round, while others migrate to the state during summer months.
