Chels enjoying the cold and beauty of "Tracy Arm." This was a big fjord that we motored up all the way until the captain deemed it unsafe due to the huge icebergs in the water. We though it was amazing how far up we got in addition to how well the boat was able to maneuver in such a small space.
Gorgeous Tracy Arm
Kind of surreal pool setting while cruising up in the fjord. This was the view from the back on the boat at 8am.
Shot taken from the 15th floor of the cruise ship looking down on some of the balconies below
This was another cruise ship identical to the one we were on cruising up the arm as we were on our way out. Gives you an idea for the scale and sheer size of the fjord and arm.
If you look closely and or double click on this shot, you can see what appears to be a very small boat on the right hand side of the cruise ship. In actuality, it was a good sized yacht that was made to look tiny with the huge cruise ship next to it. The smaller boat actually got behind the cruise ship to motor in the wake and avoid bigger icebergs.
Chels and Trev hanging out near the Mendenhall Glacier. A short bus ride from the boat, this was our on shore excursion once we reached Juneau.
The unfortunately rapidly receding Mendenhall Glacier.
Train up to Fraser, British Columbia via Skagway, AK. We took this 23 mile ride up to the Canada/US border. The train was installed at the turn of the last century and was used during the gold rush days and now is a tourist attraction.
All the fam after our chilly train trip
Holy &*%#, this is one big boat.
Classic SE Alaska scene. Fishing boat and beautiful scenery.
We were treated to a really pretty evening when sailing south from our northernmost port of Skagway back to Victoria, BC
Grandpa Jim, Trev, and Grannie De enjoying some soft serve cones on board the ship.
