Hiking and Raft Excursion in Skagway Alaska - Cruise Vlog - Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a day in Skagway, Alaska, during a cruise on Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas. After a last minute decision to book a hiking and rafting excursion, the group embarks on a two mile trek up the Chihua trail. The hike is described as steep and treacherous, featuring views of mountains, snow, and evidence of local wildlife such as bear tracks and fresh bear scat. The excursion includes a raft ride down a glacially fed river, which the creator notes is extremely cold. Following the tour, the group explores the town of Skagway, eating lunch at the Skagway Brewing Company and trying local fried bread. The creator also shares a story about a drone crashing into a mountain during the excursion. The video concludes with the ship sailing toward Sitka, featuring scenes of the crew dining at the Solarium Bistro, watching a production show in the Royal Theater, and observing the Alaskan landscape from the ship's interior.
