Review summary

We really enjoyed this cruise. This was a bucket list cruise. We have always wanted to go to Alaska and this was an excellent way to experience it for the first time. We already know we will return to see more of Alaska.

Ship tip

Don't take too many clothes. No one remembers if you wear your clothes more than once. It is very casual.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

We were very tired after traveling but it would be worth coming back and see the city.

Ketchikan, Alaska

We went on the Crab boat and crab feast. We saw eagles and beautiful scenery. If you did not get enough crab to eat it always your own fault!

Juneau, Alaska

We went to Mendenhall glacier and evening whale watch. This was the best part of the whole trip. We saw humpback whales and orca dolphins. It was magnificent.

Skagway, Alaska

We took the train for the Yukon Trail and the bus back. It was spectacular to see all the scenery and learn what the gold miners had to go through.
