Creator's Key Takeaways
So we were 12 hours away from disaster in Tracy's Fjord.
I've always felt very safe on a cruise ship and I've never thought I've been in harm's way. That changed for us personally when we sailed on Seabor last November.
I think a lot of times we tell this is my the emergency management sign coming out, but you know, you you plan for the unexpected.
Does this impact your thoughts on an Alaskan cruise? Are you willing to take on this risk because it's so low that you're you're going to still roll the dice?

Alaska is one of the most breathtaking cruise destinations on the planet — and we love it. But after digging into the science behind the August 2025 Tracy Arm event, where a 64-million cubic metre landslide sent a wave nearly 500 metres up a fjord wall, we realized this story never got the attention it deserved. No passengers were harmed — but only because no boats were in the fjord that morning. Researchers have since identified this as the second-highest tsunami runup ever recorded, and yet the cruise industry response was quiet and slow. In this live show, Jill and Jerry walk through what the science actually says about natural hazard risks in Alaska — from landslide tsunamis to glacial outburst floods threatening shore excursions — and have an honest conversation about what informed cruisers deserve to know before they book that Alaska voyage.
