From the Icy North Atlantic

I’ll post more photos and videos after we return, but at 50 cents a minute, I’m trying to limit my internet time on board! Here’s an amuse-bouche of images to start with.


Here we are, the happy cruisers, docked in Skagway, or thereabouts. Behind us is our ship, the Pacific Princess, temporary home to 684 passengers and 373 crew.


They’re lumberjacks and they’re OK. And they put on quite a cute little show.


Three of us decked out in formal wear in the dining room. The food was mostly nursing-home-haute-cuisine, meaning that it all looked great, but tasted like someone locked up the chef’s spice rack.


I found these doggies eyeing their owner as they sat in a pickup truck parked outside a local tavern in Juneau. Luckily these weren’t the ones pulling our dog sled.


One of the many chunks of ice in Glacier Bay. Come see them while they’re still here!


The White Pass & Yukon Railway was one of the highlights of the trip. Running alongside the Gold Rush Trail of 1898, this train takes you from sea level to 3000 feet in about an hour.
