ESTA for Alaska?

[Newbury newbie]

We’re on an Eclipse Alaska cruise sailing out from and back to Vancouver. We know we need the Canadian eTA but not so sure about the US ESTA?

Yes, you’ll need an ESTA,

When we did Alaska (in 2005!...where does the time go!?), we did  a trip to Carcross,BC from Skagway. We caught the White Pass train back from the border at Fraser and the conductor on the train checked our passports. He even admonished us, as we didn't have the green waiver card in our passport!...but he let us off! So nowadays, you will need a US ESTA...just in case.

You need to clear USA immigration in Vancouver before boarding the Eclipse

What address do you use on the ESTA for the cruise?

Errrrrr.....as Alaska is part of the USA so yes you need an ESTA.

When cruising out of the USA we have used the hotel address we were staying at prior to the cruise.  When we cruised from Australia to the USA we used the hotel address that we were staying at in Hawaii.
