Additional details

Sail Date: Jun 2014

Who: my early 70's retired teacher husband and I. Other passengers were in the 50-70's age range, well educated and well travelled. There were lots of engineers, teachers/professors, and healthcare workers. Fifteen were from Australia and four were from New Zealand. If you want to laugh a lot, go on a trip with Australians. None of us liked big ships. We were all about getting up close and seeing places the big boats couldn't go.

Where: 11 days from Sitka to Ketchikan including Tracy Arm, Haines, Skagway, Juneau, Orca Point, Glacier Bay, Hobart Bay, Petersburg, Wrangell, Thorne Bay, Kasaan, and Ketchikan.

We started out with a walking tour of Sitka including the Russian Bishop's House, the Sheldon Jackson Museum and St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral and then cruised Sitka Sound on a dayboat (otters, brown bear) before meeting up with the Alaskan Dream. After dinner the captain spotted some Orca's and we whale watched for a while.
