Creator's Key Takeaways

we did the northbound from Vancouver so this was our second stop on our cruise

we were a bit surprised when we got to our body of water that we were kayaking on and found out we were we were pretty far away

we were able to see a lot of really amazing wildlife we were able to get pretty close to it on the kayaks

we really enjoyed our time at Juneau we would recommend getting off and doing some of the excursions there

YouTube Video Description

Juneau Alaska is a beautiful city and on our recent Princess Cruise abroad the beautiful Island Princess we had the opportunity to try a some cruise excursions that are offered on board. We wanted to tell you a little about what we learned and what excursions we did help you when you plan your Alaska cruise. We hope you enjoy this video and find some of the hints and stories useful when planning your own cruise. We did the Glacier Kayaking as we always enjoy kayaking when we are on vacation and we also walked around the city and ate at the Red Dog Saloon one of the Alaska restaurants in Juneau. We tried to make these as general as possible, and the majority of excursions offered here are also offered by other cruise lines. Thanks!
