    Wow what an Amazing video, I always for a long time thought cruises are only for the Caribbean that was it. Beaches sun shine and a party. After watching your videos Im reconsidering my thoughts. Some of the views are breath taking. That train ride looked so awesome. It probably won’t be anytime soon but I’ll will have to add it to my bucket list. The way your share your content is 2nd to none !! From the camera work the music and the background fade. Keep up the good work 👍

    Wow, the drone footage 😍. So in Skagway we did the bus & rail excursion through Chilkoot Charters. HIGHLY recommend them. You take a small bus up all the way to Yukon, Canada & the White Pass rail back down to Skagway. It might be the other way around depending on the departure time. It was hands down the best excursion with many stops along the way on the bus portion. We had maybe 16 people total, it was a very intimate experience and our tour guide stopped when we saw a bear on the side of the road, let us watch him eat for at least 15 min, mere feet away. We had lunch (included) in Carcross, Yukon. The entire tour was probably 7.5 hrs with the train portion being about 2 hrs. You just see a completely different side going up the Klondike Hwy. You stop by Welcome to Alaska & also Welcome to Yukon signs. Cost was $219 pp. The train was truly exhilarating, especially standing on the platform. Loved the vlog!

Juneau you need to do an excursion either with the ship or with Harv and Marv. In Icy Strait have always seen them right beside the ship like you had Skagway. Last May I saw 19 Orcas in one pod in Juneau we spent 30 minutes with them, absolutely amazing.
