Creator's Key Takeaways

It was by far one of the coolest things I've ever done. It was very emotional.

The cabins feel ultra modern, bright. The finishes are both luxurious but also really modern.

We found the food to be excellent. They also make their own ice cream on board and they have some of the best flavors.

I had the best internet I've ever had in Alaska. I had to live stream from Alaska and we were able to do that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bundle up to see the Golden Gate Bridge sail away from San Francisco.
Book the WaveRunner tour in Sitka for a memorable experience.
Use the self-serve laundry facilities which are included.
