Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't want to do Alaska with another cruise line. There's a cruise line and then there's Virgin Voyages.

So far, every Alaska exclusive on board has been beautiful. So good.

It's not the cleanest bathroom on board, but this is your view. I mean, a reflection of the toilet right here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you're early for activities because people get to them really fast in Alaska.
Bring your own blankets if you want to hang out on the dock as they can run out.
If you are on a budget, having a balcony is not strictly necessary for an Alaska cruise.

YouTube Video Description

This Alaska cruise felt NOTHING like Virgin Voyages in the Caribbean…We’ve sailed with Virgin Voyages before, so we thought we knew exactly what to expect. But the second we stepped on board for Alaska, everything felt different. The food, the drinks, the entertainment, even the overall energy on the ship completely shifted for this itinerary. Instead of pool days and frozen cocktails, this cruise was all about scenic sailing, glacier views, and staying warm while exploring one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. And what surprised us most is how much Virgin Voyages actually changes the experience depending on where you’re sailing. If you’re trying to decide between an Alaska cruise and a Caribbean sailing with Virgin Voyages, or you’re just curious what makes this itinerary so unique, this is everything we noticed after experiencing both.
