I recommend one the balcony rooms for the scenery.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The balcony room, about 204 sf, was more spacious than anticipated and very comfortable.

Ports of call

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

3 out of 5

Didn't have time to visit the town as we took the whale watching excursion and it was too early in the season as the whales had not moved in - no whales or other wild life was viewed. Nice boat ride but expensive for just that...late July or August the whales move in (found out after booked and while on the ride).

White Pass, Yukon Gold Rush rail ride was interesting but probably more so for the train enthusiast, or gold rush history buff.

Pros: The scenery is excellent

Cons: Shore excersions (only due to choice and timing - too early for whale watching for example)
