This was an amazing experience. From the moment we embarked, through each and every port of call we had the best time! The staff were awesome, the scenery was spectacular and every day was a new adventure.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
The embarkation process was surprisingly smooth. Having seperate cues for non-US/Canada passport holders made the experience painless for us Aussies.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had most meals in Tsar’s Palace and the food was of a very high quality. Dining in Cagney’s was the equivalent of some of the best dining experiences we had in Europe - really something special! Food overall was excellent and we were very well looked after in all the bars on board. Great variety of drinks to choose from.

Band on the Run, Australian Bee Gees Show and Cirque Bijou were amazing. Had many great nights with Fire and Ice in the Fyzz and Spinnaker Lounges. Battle of the Sexes and Majority Rules were good fun.

Fantastic! Our room steward Manuel, Jose and Alfred in Fyzz Lounge, Cris and Aza in Tsar’s, Melvin in Maltings and CJ from Fire and Ice all made our holiday experience simply wonderful. They get 6 stars each!!!

Very comfortable cabin. Highly recommend having a balcony on a cruise like this so that you can make the most of the amazing scenery.
Ship tip
Relax and enjoy. Weigh up your options on shore excursions, sometimes it’s better to do your own thing.
Fantastic! Take the tour to Silver King Lodge. The wildlife is amazing. From sea lions and harbour seals swimming alongside our boat to watching bald eagles pluck fish from the water this was nothing short of spectacular! And to top it off with three humpback whales bubble feeding just metres from the boat - fantastic!!!
Visit to the Alaskan Sealife Centre was really interesting. Great work with sick and injured Sealife. Exit Glacier was amazing, but be prepared to walk and climb to get the best views.
Spectacular scenery and some beautiful architecture. Contrasting areas of crumbling roads, paths and buildings in certain parts of town was an eye-opener.
Fish markets have to be seen to be believed. The view from Mt Hakodate is nothing short of spectacular. Great ramen to be had in town, about 2 blocks from the train station.
