Creator's Key Takeaways

alaska cruising is back so i knew the person i had to talk to about alaska is you because i think you've been to just about every port in alaska

one of the things to understand about uh cruising in alaska and this is important for the excursions is we we only cruise on a little tiny strip of of alaska

juno is the capital of alaska it's you cannot drive to juno you can only take a ferry or fly in there

icy straight point another great thing about they have a little tram it's a little golf cart that will take you from the ship over to the village

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack in layers for Alaska's variable weather, including light sweaters, jackets, and waterproof parkas.
Bring extra shoes, especially tennis shoes that dry fast, due to frequent rain.
Do a couple of excursions in each port to fully experience Alaska and meet the locals.
Consider the White Pass and Yukon Railroad excursion in Skagway for a historic train ride.
Visit Icy Strait Point for whale watching and wildlife experiences.
