Creator's Key Takeaways

We are in Sitka, Alaska for our first time ever aboard Norwegian Joy.

This is absolutely beautiful. I'm really stoked about this.

That was an awesome fishing experience. We have six in the hold.

The itinerary has been fantastic. So, we've got long days in port and we can schedule afternoon excursions.

βœ“Always bring your rain gear in Alaska.
βœ“Pre-book excursions if you have your heart set on something.

YouTube Video Description↓

We are ready for ADVENTURE in Alaska! First up, we are in Sitka for a sea kayaking adventure! This is a new port for us and sea kayaking is something we have never done before... We take a bus, then a boat out to our float spot to get into the kayaks... and what an adventure! The water was cold but smooth and we saw so much wildlife!! And in Sitka, it is all about the wildlife!! Such an EPIC DAY!! And the next day, we are in Ketchikan... one of our favorite spots in Alaska and we are going fishing for salmon! We LOVE fishing in this port and this will be our third time. And we had an incredible experience again!! It rained... but who cares! We still caught lots of salmon... AND they were processed and then shipped to our house! Back on the ship (Norwegian Joy), we closed down the spa after our day in Sitka and had a fabulous dinner at Teppanyaki after our day in Ketchikan! And we ended our night watching Bring Back the 90's... do not miss this show!!! This has been an AMAZING cruise to Alaska!!! #alaskacruise #NorwegianJoy #cruisetour #norwegianpartner #sitka #ketchikan Please SUBSCRIBE, Comment, Like, Share & Follow! *Download our 101 Cruise Tips* http://bit.ly/3JfY0Rd *Check out our travel & camera gear on Amazon* https://www.amazon.com/shop/eecctravels This link has all of the camera gear we use to create our videos!!
