Creator's Key Takeaways

It was phenomenal. So we we got off the boat, we went straight there cuz it was literally right there.

I don't think it was worth it. We agree. You know, we paid $100 a couple. That's a lot of money to do something we could have done on our balcony.

We never made it to the glacier but nothing was ever announced on that. So what happened was we kept turning in the elbow.

I would hands down best excursion. I agree. I would do that again. If if we go back to Sitka, I would definitely do that again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring extra pairs of socks for excursions.
Bring your own binoculars.
Layers are your friend in Alaska.
Don't bring a blanket; they are provided on board.

YouTube Video Description

Part 2 is here! If you watched Part 1, you know we had quite the adventure already… and we’re not done yet! This time we’re taking you to Sitka, Alaska, where we went on what ended up being our favorite excursion of the entire Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise. We got up close with whales, explored the beautiful rainforest, visited Finn Island Lodge, and had one of those days we’ll never forget. Not everything went according to plan though. We were so excited to see Dawes Glacier, but things didn’t exactly work out the way we expected. We also spent time in Prince Rupert, tried more of the Alaska experiences onboard Virgin Voyages, and are sharing what we thought was worth the money… and what we’d probably skip next time. If you’re planning a Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise or any Alaska cruise, we hope this gives you a better idea of what to expect and helps you decide which excursions are really worth booking. In this episode: • Sitka whale watching and the Coastal Expedition to Finn Island Lodge • Our honest review of one of the best Alaska excursions • What happened at Dawes Glacier • Exploring Prince Rupert • Virgin Voyages Alaska entertainment and onboard experiences • Our favorite moments, biggest surprises, and what we’d do differently • Alaska cruise tips to help you plan your trip Thinking about cruising to Alaska?
