Glaciers, Gold Rush, and Wonder: Our Unforgettable Family Disney Alaskan Cruise Adventure

This video is about our Alaskan Cruise on the Disney Wonder, August 2018. We enjoyed a 7 day cruise leaving from Vancouver Canada heading towards Alaska. Monday we boarded the Disney Wonder and headed out from Vancouver towards Alaska. Tuesday our first full day had us traveling 675 miles heading towards the Tongas National Rainforest and Tracy Arm Fjord. Wednesday after a day at sea we arrived at the mouth of Tracy and Endicott Arm Fjords. Based on the amount of icebergs and the weather report, the captain decided to head up Endicott Arm towards Dawes Glacier. Although there are no ports we were able to board a water-jet-powered catamaran to enjoy the incredible views of the Glacier, icebergs, and waterfalls along the Tongass National Forest. Thursday we reached our first port of call Skagway Alaska. During the early period of the gold rush, Stagway was the largest city in Alaska with over 10,000 people. Skagway was the gateway and first leg to Dawson city, the Yukon and the gold rush. The white pass mountain trail required miners cross into Canada on a tretcheus path with 2 tons of food and equipment. The large amount of gear was required by the Canadian mounted police based on what was required for survival. At the end of the gold rush the railroad was completed through the pass but by then the gold rush was over. While Joann and the kids spent the day horseback riding in the Valley at the beginning of the Chillkoot Trail. Mom, we enjoyed the views from the White Pass Trail Railroad up through the mountain pass. Friday brought us to the capital city of Juneau, named after a gold prospector Joe Juneau from Quebec. Our worst weather with rain most of the day. Joann and the kids went hiking and whale watching through the waters of Stephens Passage. Mom, Aunt Denise and I enjoyed the views of Mendenhall Glacier, the only glacier you arrive by car. Saturday was our last port of call the small town of Ketchikan. Known for the world’s largest collection of totem poles. In fact the totem pole illustration watermark in the US passport is based on one from Ketchikan. We had some great excursions, coastal tour along Misty Fjords. Guided hike through the Black Bear country of the Tongass National Rainforest. Our last day traveling back to Vancouver was our best weather day by far. The clouds, rain, smoke and haze was gone and we had spectacular views of the Alaskan and British Columbia coast line. It truely was a great vacation and Disney Cruise Line is a wonderful way to see the southern coast of Alaska. I hope you enjoy the video, leave a comment and let me know what you think - thanks Jim
