What size and power binoculars should I bring on an Alaskan cruise?
What size and power binoculars should I bring on an Alaskan cruise? The trip will be 7 days long. Any suggestions?
If you do not wear glasses, then a pair of 8×25 will be nice and compact, easy to carry around. I used a pair for years even though I do wear glasses, but I had to take my glasses off to use them. You might consider a larger pair 8×30 or 8×40, but for this trip I would not. If you wear glasses, you will want to give the problem more consideration. There are binoculars especially designed for that purpose. Look for a pair with eye relief of 17 mm minimum. They will be more expensive and they will not be compact.
More powerful than 8 power are subject to shake and jiggles. Some people can hold 10 power steady enough but beyond that it is virtually impossible.
Here is a link to a pair of 8×25 that should serve just fine.

For an eyeglass wearer, something like this.
