Thank you for the magical week in Alaska! This has been a grand adventure filled with so many memories seeing orcas on our first day, close up encounters with bears, eagles on icebergs, kayaking in breathtaking bays and hiking through magical forests. We feel like this week has given us a glimpse into heaven! "Best Vacation Ever" is our families decision.

They say it's not the destination but the journey that counts, but we got both. This trip was years in the making, the promise of seeing wildlife, relaxation and great memories were delivered in spades. People who read this will already know the experiences, the contact with nature, things that can't be captured enough in film or description. It's a rare thing which will stay with us. Naturally, the experience was shaped by the company of crew that were like our friends. Simply perfection!

One phrase kept coming up all week - "a trip of a lifetime"! The crew went out of their way to create a trip that will all do down in our books as magnificent. We came hopeful with each of us having things we hoped to see and do and we can proudly say that all boxes were checked. The fun was not knowing our meals and coming out to a table displayed beautifully with a magical meal. We now count this crew as friends.
