Creator's Key Takeaways

It was honestly such a special experience and one we'll remember for years to come.

Standing right at the front of Queen Elizabeth, watching the fjord open up in front of us, was something we'll never forget.

The experience lasts around three hours on the water, plus about half an hour each way for transfers from the port to the dock.

It was really rocky as well, wasn't it? So, it's quite hard to get a photo.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book whale watching tours in advance, especially small group experiences.
Bring a good camera for wildlife photography, but be prepared for challenging conditions.
Enjoy room service on the balcony for the best views during scenic cruising.

YouTube Video Description

Join us on Day 4 & 5 of our Alaska cruise on board Cunard Queen Elizabeth! In this episode, we dock in Juneau, Alaska’s capital city, where we head out on an unforgettable whale watching tour with Jayleen’s Alaska – a small group experience we booked a year in advance (and it was so worth it!). We spot Mendenhall Glacier, witness multiple humpback whales – including a mother and calf breaching – and get up close to bald eagles. 🐋🦅 After returning to port, we visit the Whale Project, a stunning waterfront sculpture celebrating Alaska’s 50th year of statehood. Back on board, it’s buffet dinner, Commodore Club cocktails, and fireworks from the balcony as we celebrate the 4th of July in style. Then it’s on to Day 5 as we enjoy a cruise-by of Tracy Arm Fjord – with its towering cliffs, icebergs, and the mighty South Sawyer Glacier. The bow of the ship is opened to guests, giving us a front-row view of Alaska’s raw, wild beauty. It’s a day of room service on the balcony and breathtaking scenery from start to finish. 🛳️ Book your next cruise with us for the best deal at https://www.cruiseescapes.co.uk/ 👍 If you love travel, stunning landscapes, and thrilling adventures, hit that LIKE button, SUBSCRIBE for more, and SHARE your thoughts in the comments below!
