Cruise to Alaska



We went on a cruise to Alaska, for 7 days, with the Norwegian Sun. It was a seven day roundtrip to Vancouver. We stopped in three ports: Ketchikan, Juneau & Skygway. In Skygway we took a bus tour to Yukon.

We loved cruising, it was our first time. Lot's of great shows at night and the food was delicious. We had a stateroom with a balcony. I strongly recommend a cruise to Alaska. The scenery is breathtaking.

Wow Helene. Exquisite photographs. I was just reading about how Alaska has been having all this glorious weather that you and I have been enjoying in the Pacific NW, looks like you got at least a bit of sun. So glad it was a nice trip for you.

10 years ago I had a trip whit my parents to Canada, in Québec and it has been one of my favourite, ever.
I'd like so much to come back and visit the "Vancouver side" of it. Now that I saw your photos, I have to put also Alaska in my "Must see list". Wonderful.

My dream is to visit Alaska one day, and reading your entry while looking at your gorgeous photos takes that up 1000 levels! Glad you had a wonderful time!

Pictures are breathtaking. I am pretty sure that an Alaskan cruise will be in my near future as the hubby loves cold weather and wants to move to Alaska. Told him we probably should do a cruise first. :)

Gorgeous scenery Helene! I'm glad you had the chance to see this! I did field work in a similar area (not where the cruise ships dock, unfortunately!) and I know it's exquisite landscape!

Jackie at PhamFatale.com said...

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing. It's funny because my hubby's aunt and uncle are on a cruise in Alaska right now for their 40th anniversary, you might be on the same boat!

Beautiful, beautiful photographs.

Bellini Valli said...

Such a wonderful time Helene. So glad you enjoyed your time with your family!!!

My Carolina Kitchen said...

Alaska is drop dead gorgeous. So are your photos. Thanks for taking us along.

We haven't been on a cruise in years. They are so relaxing - the crew does everything for you and you're not on any schedule. A great getaway.

I've been on holiday the last couple of weeks with no internet. I've missed my friends and glad to be back. Nice to see you had fun.
