Creator's Key Takeaways

when they began to dug into the details it became more overwhelming than Lithuanian language lessons

the best cruise choice for you depends on a whole bunch of different factors and the right answer for one person might be different for another

Denali National Park is actually larger than Massachusetts and it's about eight hours from the cruise ship ports in Anchorage

if you board your ship in Vancouver then when you're standing on the pier getting ready to board you're actually closer to Mexico than you are to Anchorage

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Plan for Denali as a key part of the trip, not just a shore excursion
βœ“Allocate enough time to see everything you want to see and travel the distances
βœ“Consider flight logistics when deciding whether to do Denali pre or post cruise
βœ“Late spring (early June) offers a good balance of weather and daylight
βœ“Fly into Seattle and take Amtrak to Vancouver for easier domestic flights
