Dag 15
Seattle Downtown
17. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Today we spent the day in Downtown Seattle, we stayed by the airport for ease as we’re only stopping for a day before heading on to Canada.

Whilst in town we got the Monorail, did some shopping and sightseeing, visited the Starbucks Roastery and the Klondike National Park Exhibit (would recommend if you’re in the area). There is quite a lot of construction on the Seattle Sea Front at the moment which made it quite difficult to appreciate the harbour area.Læs mere

Last day in Alaska and onto Seattle
16. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
Our last day in Alaska was unfortunately hampered by weather but we still got out and explored a bit of Anchorage, visited the Alaska Public Lands office for a national park stamp and got some lunch at White Spot Cafe.

Around 13:00 we headed for the airport for our flight to Seattle, we booked a connecting flight here for a brief stop over to see Seattle and then head on to Calgary.

This was one of the prettiest flights we’ve been on with views over the gulf of Alaska and all the mountain regions we’d sailed past.Læs mere

Dag 13
Talkeetna and Train to Anchorage
15. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
After our jet boat excursion was cancelled due to Ice on the river we had a slightly more relaxed morning and travelled into Talkeetna where we walked around the town, visited the ranger station and got some lunch (Amazing Pizza). Our transfer from the hotel to Talkeetna was arranged by princess and took about an hour.

Talkeetna is a Gold-Mining town and has maintained much of its traditional ‘Alaska’ feeling. From here we joined our arranged train to Anchorage complete with extra large viewing windows.

The train really was an experience- it took about 3 hrs to get to Anchorage and we saw 5 moose, incredible scenery and our host was fantastic. On arrival in Anchorage we checked into our hotel and got some dinner at 49th State Brewing and enjoyed a walk in the good weather.Læs mere

Dag 12
Denali National Park and onto Talkeetna
14. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
After enjoying the ATV adventure and the scenery that had to offer we were up early to head into Denali National Park.

Our aim was to visit the Visitors centre, collect my National Park Cancellation Stamp and walk a trail or two before heading back for our transfer to Talkeetna.

It was bright but cold today but a great day for hiking, we ended up walking Horseshoe lake trail to the Beaver Dam. From this trail we walked to the winter visitors centre (now closed), the normal visitors centre (stamp acquired ☑️) and back to the front of the park where we collected the return hotel shuttle. We grabbed a quick bite to eat before our transfer to Talkeetna which was about 3hrs. On arrival we got some rest and completed one of their nature walks bur unfortunately many of the trails at the resort are still closed due to weather.Læs mere

Dag 11
Arrival in Whittier and onto Denali
13. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
We actually got into Whittier around Midnight as the Captain decided to come alongside early due to poor weather.
He wasn’t wrong - the weather when we woke up was miserable but we weren’t in Whittier for long as we disembarked the ship at 07:30 straight onto our Coach Transfer to Denali National Park where we’d be spending the night and enjoying the following day.

This transfer with a stop at a bird sanctuary and for lunch at Talkeetna was just over 8hrs. On route we managed to spot lots of Eagles and some Moose grazing out in the far distance. The scenes on this drive were to die for, especially the mountain ranges even if Denali was covered behind some clouds!

The weather really brightened up along this journey and when we arrived we quickly unpacked to join our evening ATV excursion with Black Diamond. This was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the local area (not in the national park), scenery and dinner with our guide.Læs mere

Sea Day and College Fjord
12. maj 2023 ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
Today we mainly enjoyed the boat, spent time looking for wildlife and around 18:00 sailed into College Fjord. The weather meant it was really difficult to get a good view of the many glaciers in the Fjord but we did still manage to spot some seals 🦭 and sea otters 🦦.Læs mere

Glacier Bay National Park
11. maj 2023 ⋅ 🌧 3 °C
Our cruise ship entered Glacier Bay National Park around 6am for a day of Glacier spotting along with some wildlife.

We managed to spot Mountain Goats, lots of Sea Otters and a Whale.

As this is a National Park rangers enter the cruise ships and provide talks throughout the day. Unfortunately we were not as fortunate with the weather today which made some of the viewing very chilly!Læs mere

Dag 8
Skagway and a trip to the Yukon
10. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We docked in Skagway and today we had a trip booked through Chilkoot charters tracking the journey of the Klondike Gold Rush up from Skagway all the way to the Yukon.

This trip was all day including stopping at Carcross and Caribou Crossing to visit Husky Puppies and get some lunch. Our guide was fantastic and we learnt a lot about the area and the Gold Rush. The scenery was amazing, the weather cleared up around lunch time and we even got some wildlife sightings 🐻

The tour started by van but we finished the trip on the Yukon and White Pass railway ending in Skagway where we did a quick scout around before our all aboard time.Læs mere

Juneau and Mendenhall Glacier
9. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Today we docked in Juneau and booked an excursion to visit Mendenhall Glacier alongside walk some of the Ecology trails in and around the Park. We were really lucky with the weather all day again and so managed to get some great shots of the glacier and local wildlife/lakes.

After this we walked around downtown Juneau and rejoined the ship for dinner and a talk by Libby Riddles who was the first woman to win the Iditarod in 1985.Læs mere

Dag 6
Ketchikan
8. maj 2023, Forenede Stater
We arrived in Ketchikan bright and early and got the local bus ($2) to Totem Bight State Historical Park ($5) which enjoyed for about an hour before getting back on the bus to the local High School where we joined the Rainbird Hiking Trail.

The trail was a little hard to follow and I wouldn’t have wanted to walk it in the rain however it was manageable on the sunny day we were treated to!

We followed this trail back through Downtown to Creek Street for an hour or so and then back on to the Ship for our All Aboard time.Læs mere
