AT#899 – Alaska Cruise

  1. AT#899 - Alaska Cruise Chris Christensen 55:10

Hear about cruising the waters of Alaska and British Columbia as the Amateur Traveler talks to Susan Portnoy about her recent experience on a Hurtigruten expedition ship.

Why should you do this cruise?

Susan says, “I think it’s not going to be for everybody. It is a long journey. It’s 18 days. That is music to my heart, but may not be for everyone. But it’s also more intrepid. It’s not the kind of trip where you’ve got a lot of boardwalks and stores and places to hang out, which you might do and have in Juneau or Haines. We went to uninhabited islands. One was, for example, St. Matthews, which belongs to Alaska. Very few people know that. And more people have climbed Everest than been on St. Matthews.”
