A fun-filled historical cruise that took my sister and I through Southeast Alaska from Juneau down to Seattle in August. We saw living history with our crew from the Gold Rush era. There was not a dull moment with wildlife and culture abounding, especially the whales!
Boarding the SS Legacy (Lynessa Nelson)
"Welcome Ladies and Gents for your grand adventure aboard the SS Legacy!" Our journey had begun and it appeared there would not be a dull moment onboard as the Heritage Team introduced themselves. Their goal: to make the Alaska Gold Rush come alive for us again. My sister and I had just arrive from Seattle that morning to Juneau. We checked in at the hotel rendezvous point and dropped off our luggage. Then we walked outside the town and up the Mt. Roberts. The hike up there was slippery with a muddy trail but the temperature was nice and cool to keep us going. At the top there was a restaurant and gift shop which led to the tram entrance. On the ride down we could view all of the harbor with the giant cruise ships. We were so happy to not be going on one of them and be a part of the masses. I'm not sure how much time you'd actually get viewing and experiencing Alaska.
We made it back to the hotel just a short walk from the tram. Juneau is a small town and didn't take long to walk from one end to the other. We then walked down to the dock and boarded. We met our Heritage Leader - Jason and his team of actors and historical experts. The were always around during the cruise to bring the Gold Rush era to real life.
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.

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.
