Creator's Key Takeaways
We went to Katchetakan in July in the heart of the summer and we loved it.
We really encourage you to go ahead and book it. uh really special tours that are these once-ina-lifetime things, book up months or maybe even a year in advance
You know, when we were planning to come to Alaska, we were just a little bit scared that we might be disappointed that it wouldn't live up to the hype, but it really does.
We got special permission. Of course, being a smaller ship, it allows us to do this. And this is a really incredible and special experience.

ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit.
