As far as clothing goes will it be really cold? That depends on what you are use to. For me its not cold but for many it is. You could possibly get temps down into the 50's or even possible 40's if fall starts to sneak in, which is possible. Regardless of the month you cruise in it is always wise to dress in layers. You will be going into a rain forest and you will be going near glaciers. It is better to have more than enough clothes to wear than not enough. I would make sure you had some sweaters or sweat shirts as well as a fall jacket. Gloves and a hat may be needed and they may not.In Skagway the town itself is quite interesting but doesn't take long to look around. You can take a trip to Haines by boat from Skagway to spend part of your day. They have some nature tours in Haines.Ketchikan is known for their totem parks. They are also known for fishing and kayaking tours. They do have the lumberjack show there. Many flight tours go out of Ketchikan. Ketchikan will have all the shops and torus open even if you arrive at 6am.
