North to Alaska by Cruise Ship



In June of 2014 I boarded the Crown Princess in Vancouver, British Columbia with my family for a week-long cruise up the Inside Passage and across the Gulf of Alaska to Whittier, Alaska. Our itinerary included Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and College Fjord. At our in-ports we booked our own tours including taking a $1.00 city bus from Ketchikan to Saxman Totem Village, the fabulous Tracy Arm boat tour from Juneau with Adventure Bound, and the White Pass and Yukon Railway from Skagway. The cruise ship gave us a seven hour tour of the glaciers of Glacier Bay and a three hour exploration of College Fjord's glaciers. Enjoy these images from our cruise to Alaska.
