Arrival in Vancouver
3. toukokuuta 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We arrived in Vancouver and used the Canada Line Metro to get to Vancouver Downtown which was really simple. The Fairmont is really close to the metro so it was a nice easy walk to check in!

To keep ourselves awake we went for a walk around Stanley Park to the Totems and then onto Lost Lagoon for sunset on the look out for Beavers. Despite having no luck last trip we managed to spot one swimming and nibbling at a log! 🦫Lue lisää

Exploring Vancouver
4. toukokuuta 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
To make the most of the weather we opted to rent bikes for the day and cycle the Stanley Park Sea Wall over to Kitsilano Beach and then back into the Stanley Park Trails. We covered about 13miles in all 🚵‍♀️.

After a brief hotel stop at our Hotel we walked over to Gas Town to look around some of the shops and grab some dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory 🍝Lue lisää

A rainier day in Vancouver
5. toukokuuta 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Our last full day in Vancouver was somewhat rainier than our first! We enjoyed a trip over to the outlets and then to Granville Island for some lunch and retail therapy! 🍔 🛍️

Vancouver has lots of different forms of public transport including the Aquabus and an easy to use Metro Line which we used to get around today including to Granville Island ⛴️

We had an amazing Nepalese dinner (Mount Everest Kitchen and Grill) and then headed back via the pacific Centre to the hotel.Lue lisää

Last morning in Vancouver
6. toukokuuta 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
The weather was much nicer today than expected and not nearly as rainy so we went over to Queen Elizabeth Park to enjoy a walk before heading back to Downtown Vancouver to grab some lunch, collect our luggage and join the Grand Princess.

The park was stunning and easy enough to get to on the metro with a short walk either side.

We got back into Downtown and went for some lunch at ‘Meat & Bread’ - Highly recommend - and a walk around Gas Town before joining the Ship.

The walk to the terminal from the Fairmont was all down hill and easier than fighting through the traffic with a taxi. After about an hour of embarkation processes we were onboard 🛳️Lue lisää

Ketchikan
8. toukokuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat
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.Lue lisää

Juneau and Mendenhall Glacier
9. toukokuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 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.Lue lisää

Skagway and a trip to the Yukon
10. toukokuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 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.Lue lisää

Glacier Bay National Park
11. toukokuuta 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!Lue lisää

Sea Day and College Fjord
12. toukokuuta 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 🦦.Lue lisää

Arrival in Whittier and onto Denali
13. toukokuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 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.Lue lisää
