the location was brilliant the whole reason for the cruise, but the schedule was cut and left a bitter taste, this could have been so much more, enjoyed what we did have. we had an excursion had a hike on the Tundra and saw the Husky pups, disappointed with a Local excursion offering a lot and giving nothing back, overpriced High Speed jetboat 5 hours of backbreaking discomfort. You do not always get what you pay for.

This met all the check points of a high adventure! It felt and looked like the dramatic top of the world place that it is. It felt so different than any other port. The town is remarkable for a small community. Very comfortable and interesting.

One of our favorite ports. Take a tour to see the World Seed Vault and around the town. Very fascinating. Tom Cruise just finished filming a movie here. Note, no polar bears in the summer.
