Creator's Key Takeaways

i've been solo cruising now for the last couple of years now in that time i've been with seven different cruise lines

you absolutely i mean you'll see the scenery but it's the logistics of it you need to think about

you definitely need to book them in advance we did book a few on the day though

just make sure that you pack enough layers

YouTube Video Description↓

If you've been following the channel for a while, you'll know that I'm based over in the United Kingdom (incase you couldn't tell by the accent...!). As a result, I don't know a huge amount of people who have been on a cruise to Alaska. Last week, we (my friend Laura and I) travelled through the 'inside passage' on Discovery Princess, the newest cruise ship from Princess Cruises, and visited Ketchikan, Skagway and Juneau. As we headed back towards Seattle to disembark, we wanted to spend some time talking to you about some key points to think about if you're planning to cruise in this part of the world. While you're here, please consider subscribing to the channel - it really helps to bring you more content from more ships, and is absolutely free for you to do - just click on the 'subscribe' button underneath the video.
