All you need to know before cruising to Alaska🇺🇸 Icy Straight Point Hoona & Sitka via 🚢Cruise Ship

Welcome back to the channel! After 7 seasons sailing through Southeast Alaska on ships like the Norwegian Encore, Bliss, and Jewel, I’ve gathered the best tips and tricks for two of my favorite ports: Icy Strait Point (Hoonah) and Sitka. In this vlog, I’m taking you beyond the typical tourist paths to show you these locations from the perspective of a cruise ship crew member. We’ll start with a look at the geography of these stunning coastal towns, and then dive into what makes each one unique. From the rich cultural heritage of Hoonah to the historic charm of Sitka, I’m sharing exclusive footage taken during my many contracts at sea. What we’re covering today: * Exclusive Footage: See these ports from the ship and on the ground in various weather conditions. * Wildlife Encounters: Catch a glimpse of the incredible animals that call these Alaskan waters home. * Crew Secrets: I’m sharing my personal tips and tricks for travelers to help you make the most of your port days. * Behind-the-Scenes: Learn how we navigate these specific ports and what to expect when you step off the gangway. Whether you’re planning your dream Alaskan cruise or you’re curious about life as an Assistant Cruise Director, this video has everything you need to know about these two iconic stops.
