We recently returned from an Alaskan cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line. On a vacation that EVERYTHING seemed magical, this tour topped them all. It was a rainy day, but the Captain and Naturalist bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable. The refreshments were delightful. Best of all, we saw so many whales with the most amazing view. The size of the yacht makes it possible for them to be nimble, so they could maneuver into great positions. The Captain noticed our 12 year old son was a bit bored - as preteens can be on family vacations. The Captain singled him out to come teach him about driving the yacht. My son is still talking about it. It was perfection. We are going to add Alaska to our vacation rotation and we will NEVER go back withotu Alaska Luxury Tours. Worth every single penny.
