A Wild Trans-Pacific Cruise from Alaska to Tokyo | Discovery Princess

Editorial Summary

The creators document a nine day trans-Pacific voyage from Seattle to Tokyo aboard the Discovery Princess. The journey begins with a transition from Alaska into the Bering Sea, where the travelers encounter increasingly severe weather conditions. The captain warns of high waves and eventually a super typhoon, leading to significant ship movement that disrupts sleep and causes items to fall in staterooms. Amidst the rough seas, the creators manage a mishap involving missing laundry by using photos of their belongings to help staff locate them. They also navigate various weather phenomena, including rain, high winds, snow, and hail. Throughout the crossing, they engage in onboard activities such as fitness sessions, dining at the Crown Grill, watching Formula 1 racing via the ship's Wi-Fi, and attending educational presentations. The captain eventually shares that the voyage experienced the roughest weather of his thirty six year career, including winds of 110 mph and waves reaching 33 feet. The trip concludes as the ship arrives in Tokyo, where the travelers prepare to continue their journey to China.
