Hi Everyone, so many folks have been asking me to do a vlog about my very favorite Alaska cruise itinerary and that is exactly what I do in this video. I am giddy about Alaska y'all, it is definitely my happy place. I hope that you enjoy my yammering about my very favorite cruise itinerary. It is with Princess Cruises and it is the Southbound Voyage of the Glaciers cruise. Much love and hugs all around!! ๐Ÿ’— One note: All of the independent venders that I mentioned in this video come highly recommended and they have a perfect record at getting people back to the ship on time: Chilkoot Charters https://chilkootcharters.com Harv & Marv's Outback: https://www.harvandmarvs-juneau-whale-watching.com Juneau Tours & Whale Watch: https://www.juneautours.com Here are blogs that I've written about the excursions that I spoke about in this video: ~This blog is about our Bus/Train excursion with Chilkoot Charters out of Skagway (they are not offering this one in 2022, but, hopefully it will be back next year for 2023). Chilkoot is offering a bus only trip for this year that I highly recommend: https://countrycraft.me/2017/10/10/alaska-back-to-back-voyage-of-the-glaciers-cruises-episode-7-skagway-chilkoot-charters-yukon-rail-bus-tour/ ~Here is my blog about our excursion Kroschel's Wildlife Center (that you'd take when docked in Skagway), we booked this through our Cruise Personalizer on Princess.com: https://countrycraft.me/2015/10/14/alaska-voyage-of-the-glaciers-skagway-day-5/ Please check out my Amazon Storefront here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/arlynnscountrycraftcorner ***As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases***
