Creator's Key Takeaways

I love cruising to Alaska. Junior's been asking me when we're going. We don't have anything booked yet, but man, am I itching?

I would be out on my balcony with coffee bundled up in a blanket and very warm clothes as early as I could muster.

The glacier is going to look different from all four of these places that I've told you, and it is magical.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get up early for glacier viewing and try multiple viewing spots on the ship.
βœ“Book a balcony cabin for Alaska to enjoy the scenery.
βœ“Consider Princess or Holland America for Alaska itineraries.
βœ“Visit Sitka for whale watching.
βœ“Book cruises early for Alaska.
