Alaska Cruise Holiday Aug 2014. You can not have an Alaskan Cruise holiday without going whale watching. Historic Juneau, the capital of Alaska, and an offer from the Alaskan Captain I could not resist ”We will see whales, or I will give you your money back”
What an Adventure, racing in a catamaran at 42 miles per hour across the Alaskan fiord with everyone looking out for the tell tale sign of whales.
”All I Know ”, said the Captain , ”Is that they will come up up air every two to ten minutes”. Just then he was interrupted by the call from the child next to me ” There she blows 2 o’clock” we all looked to see the most incredible sight. Bubbles coming to the surface as the curtain of bubbles trapped the herring, and the whales erupted out of the water. It all happened so fast, a huge humpback surfaced 15 yards from our boat, and then dived towards us ” He is diving under our boat” said the Captain, Hold onto the rails ” For one moment I feared our Alaskan Cruise holiday was going to end up with us being hurled into the cold waters of the Alaska coast… but we were safe. Enjoy these images of Juneau, whales, and of course the legendary bars from the Gold Rush, the Klondyke Days. More memories of the Oceania Regatta as it sailed from Seattle to Vancouver on a ten day Alaskan Cruise Holiday
The Oceania Regatta is a smaller ship, with around 680 passengers, that means it can sail into ports the mega ships cannot venture into. This is important on the alaska Cruise itinerary as there are many small ports in Alaska. Oceania Regatta is ideally suited for a Alaska Cruise Holiday for the discerning traveller, fully earning every one of its five and a half stars. The Oceania regatta Alaska Cruise was a ten day voyage starting from Seattle, and took in Sitka, Icy Point Strait Hoonah, Wrangell, Juneau, the Hubbard Glacier, the Mendenhall Glacier, Victoria Island and Vancouver.
