The journey began as I left Michigan with the kids and flew through Detroit and Seattle to get to Juneau, Alaska. The scenery wasn’t too different from what we see in Montana, but I was in awe of how lush and green everything was, knowing that Montana would be in full ‘summer brown’ by now. My husband flew in later that night, after the kids were already asleep - it was my first time seeing in since we began our overall summer travels 5 weeks earlier!
The next morning, finally as a complete family again, we set out to explore Juneau. It was in the 50s and raining, but we didn’t let that stop us. We walked the waterfront trail, strolled the streets of downtown, and tried the local fare. Juneau, Alaska (Erin Correia)
At Jellyfish donuts, we had the chance to try a salmon donut ????, which was better than it sounds. For lunch, we found a neat food truck area, with lots of covered outdoor seating around fires. We had fish and chips and fish tacos and both were delicious! Jellyfish Donuts in Juneau, Alaska (Erin Correia)Food truck pod in Juneau, Alaska (Erin Correia)
Mid-afternoon, it was time to head to our ship: the Chichagof Dream. The ship holds just over 80 passengers (though we only had just over 40 on board), and is the perfect base for an Alaskan adventure! Chichagof Dream (Erin Correia)
The amazing crew welcomed us on board with drinks, and we settled in to our fantastic interconnected cabins as we set sail on the inside passage.

Our assigned planning consultant was instrumental in making the whole cruise booking process absolutely seamless. She helped us with adequate information and advice after understanding what we wanted out of this trip, while taking into account our age and fitness levels. Not once did I feel being rushed to decide. She also provided important tips on buffering for jet lag, acclimatisation and unforeseen delays. Registration was smooth and easy. All in all, exactly what the headline says … pleasant and efficient balanced just right in terms of personal and professional engagement.

I contacted Adventure Life months ago to help me find a cruise to Alaska. It was too early to book Then, but when contacted Karilyn again, she was ready to give us a couple of options that worked with our group for the dates that we needed.
She answered all of our questions and got us the cabins that we wanted. Now we've been handed off to Nur, who is doing a great job with finalizing our reservations.
