Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been to Alaska 12 times. I have never seen the northern lights.

It's an immersive Alaska cruise experience, and I think it's the very best way to go to Alaska.

The food is phenomenal. The staff is phenomenal.

She was magnificent. Her decks were worn out... but on the inside she was in perfect shape.

YouTube Video Description

In this latest episode of "A LIttle Bit Of Ship Banter", ship historians Peter Knego and Dan Trachtenberg discuss Knego's latest cruise to Alaska on board UnCruises' vintage coastal steamer-inspired WILDERNESS LEGACY. Everything from the Northern Lights to calving glaciers and pods of orcas was featured. The two also discuss new and encouraging developments with the sleek, nuclear-powered SAVANNAH and her possible future as a preserved ship in her namesake city and Knego shares the story of his visit to the PRINCE GEORGE, the 1948-built Alaska liner and cruise ship that burned from stem to stern just weeks later. #cruiseship #classicships #oceanliner #nssavannah #uncruise #wildernesslegacy #princegeorge #sunkenship #fireatsea
