We arrived in Juneau early afternoon and then disembarked to go on excursions.
Graham and I elected to do separate excursions. He chose more adventurous ones than I did and while he went Glacier trekking I went on a Whale Watch and got to see a mum and baby whale, several sea lions, some porpoises and eagles.
Click on each image below to see some of what Graham and I saw on our respective excursions.
Loved the scenery along the way. We had a stateroom with a verandah and I was able to take snaps along the way. It was a big ship to us, but later found it small compared to some others we saw. We settled in quite quickly to this life on the sea and enjoyed it.
One special thing did happen. There is an S bend and another ship was making its way through so we couldn’t. We had to wait. We were told by the Tour Guide on the ship that this was a very special occasion to witness and she’d never seen it before. She’d only heard of it happening once or twice. So I was able to take pictures of the other ship as it passed by us.
The scenery was quite beautiful and I hope you like what you see here.
We left the Waterfront Hotel today to join the Volendam to go on our cruise. So I’ve snapped a number of images from the port and out on the bay as we left Vancouver. There’s even a bit of silliness where I got Graham to pose in a familiar stance.
We had a wonderful time exploring all the decks - never having been on a cruise ship before. Click on the image below. Enjoy!
