We loved the Eurodam. Sailed in 2022 with same itinerary. The only part we did not like was the short time in Victoria. We love that city and only had4 hours in port starting at 8pm. Safe sailings and thanks for sharing.

We thought the same thing! It was dark and hardly enough time to enjoy! We actually went back just the other month to Victoria for a full weekend so we could experience more of Victoria!

I can’t believe how many whales you were able to see! And a brown bear, incredible! Alaska definitely is a beautiful place that I’ll need to go visit.
Which excursion did you do in Sitka?
Thank you for posting! I'm going next summer! Not new to cruising, but new to Alaska. Learned a lot from your video

Always sad to see people exploring wild and remote locations in a gigantic boat that litteraly destroy everything it has to offer on its way...
