Usually an "arctic" package consists of: extra insulation, thermopane windows, enclosed and heated underbelly and tank heating pads.
I would think you would find all these items useful and desireable whether you were going to Alaska or anywhere else. Not only will the extra insulation and windows help in hot weather too, but you'll also be prepared for any freak cold snap you could get overnite. Not unusual to have below freezing temps at high elevations overnite in the early and late summer months.
The cost of this package probably isn't alot. I'd get it.
