Creator's Key Takeaways

I have done personally an Alaska itinerary twice I've done it in both directions departing from Vancouver and departing from Seward

I found it to be some of the calmest Waters we've ever cruised in

it was a really great way to slowly kind of get yourself into the Alaska landscape and see all the the Lush Greenery and the waterfalls and the snow cap mountains

the first thing I did was take pictures as I walk and promptly fell in a hole in the glacier

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a 7-day itinerary to experience Alaska
Start in Seward and end in Vancouver for easier travel logistics
Take the Alaska Railway transfer for a scenic experience
Bring insect repellent for coastal environments
