Our Alaska Cruise ticked EVERY box. We were ASTONISHED by what we saw!

Published 2024-06-08
In just 7 action packed days in Alaska we saw bears terrorising salmon, whales scaring people in boats, bald eagles giving us the eye, even bigger bears, lumberjacks playing dangerously, glaciers carving, and oh, a man playing two saxophones at once! All this in just seven days! We never thought all this could be possible, and all from the comfort of the beautiful MS Eurodam.

This is no ordinary Alaska cruise vlog. This is an Alaska cruise vlog that has EVERYTHING!

Welcome to our adventure through the untamed raw beauty of one of the most remote and breathtaking landscapes in the world! In this action packed video, we will journey through some of the most pristine and wild locations on earth.

The Alaskan hype is real! Imagine waking up to the sight of towering glaciers and snow-capped mountains, all from your own balcony and then spotting incredible wildlife like bald eagles, sea otters, breaching humpback whales and magnificent bears!

Our voyage will take you to charming towns like Juneau, renown for whale watching and the discovery of other more other worldly things, Ketchikan, the salmon capital of the world, with a few hunky lumberjacks thrown in, and Sitka, where we stores around an open fire while avoiding the local bears.

Every moment of this cruise vlog promises to immerse you in the rugged wilderness that makes Alaska so extraordinary. Prepare to be mesmerised by the raw, natural beauty that awaits. It’s an adventure of a lifetime as we set sail into the heart of Alaska on board THE most experienced cruise line to sail here!

    Just got back from our dream cruise to Alaska! Astonishing isn’t a big enough word to describe the beauty of Alaska. Should be on everyone’s bucket list.
  • Speaking of a new vlog approach! Brilliant. Simply masterful. And, speaking of new, I’m surprised I’ve never considered Holland America for Alaska. Now, Alaska isn’t fifth on my list of dream destinations, but like Moana, it calls me. There is certainly much to learn about the rich (not to be confused with the narrator), dynamic history and natural lushness of Alaska and the bear rescue in Sitka was something very new for me to learn about. On another note, more ships need a Tamarind Bar. Reminiscent of the full circle Viking Crown Lounges on the older Royal Caribbean ships. Some old is good old.

    Thank you for your great videos Rich and Helen! Today we will board Silver Muse for 14 days Alaska intensive cruise 🥂
  • I went to Alaska on a Noordam Holland America ship at the beginning of May this year and it was an amazing trip. Would definitely go back again but on a different ship.
  • @spaaaarkie
    making smore's around a campfire is undoubtedly one of the most core parts of American culture that you can experience in my opinion. Alaska was a prime setting but there are many more settings across the beautiful land that is America to do so in. I love watching your video because I can relive my experience on Holland America cruise lines but also the things I missed when I visited. So glad you had a wonderful experience!
  • @bleumustang6362
    Thank you so much. I will be on the HAL Eurodam in three weeks! SO EXCITED 1st time cruise for me ! im still so unsure about the weather lol. Seems like it’s pretty chilly still
  • Wonderful absolutely beautiful video I thought it felt like I was watching a nature show. I enjoyed the narration. Awesome job.❤
  • @joelroach416
    Nice video of our beautiful Alaska, my favorite cruise destination. Do not feel bad, I am 70 and born and raised in USA and I still have not had a smores. That is really embarrassing.
  • @ssarahsss1
    Hoping to book this same cruise on standby at some point this summer!
  • @chris_upton
    My wife and I just started watching your vlogs and following you on the socials. This was a fantastic video, especially the whale watching excursion part. The music you chose was EPIC! Looking forward to watching more.
  • @ronansanjuan
    Very nice video! I'll be on their Alaska run from July 6th to 13th.
  • @0806cheryl
    There is so much to see I booked a 14 night from Vancouver which is a north/south trip with a different itinerary coming south on Princess for this August. Watching this I have no regrets booking a longer voyage.
  • @johndevore9895
    fantastic video thanks for sharing. What month did you travel?
  • Rekindled memories for us. IMO Alaska requires a 14 day cruise. There is so much to see and Crystal did it well for us. Thanks Rich and Helen. A repeat is on the cards.........
  • @Bjaakola
    How was that Alaskan branded beer? We have it stocked in a few stores where I live and I’m curious as to your take on it. GREAT video! Thank you as always! 😊
