WATCH: Part two of Johanna and Charlie’s Alaskan adventure
After getting up close with majestic whales and being awed by ancient glaciers last week, our intrepid landlubbers Johanna and Charlie continue their cruise of a lifetime. This week they’re stopping at the historic port of Skagway, where a tour of this gold rush era settlement reveals a beautifully preserved town that doesn’t look a lot different from 1896 when tens of thousands of prospectors tried to make their fortunes.
A visit to the region wouldn’t be complete without taking a ride on the equally historic railway into the imposing nearby mountains. As the cruise ship heads back south down Alaska’s Inside Passage, Johanna discovers all the culinary delights and entertainment the ship has to offer. Meanwhile, Charlie takes a day trip to the town of Ketchikan to take in the rich native culture, try his hand at lumberjacking and finish this amazing adventure by observing some black bears as they feed on migrating salmon.

Johanna and Charlie are heading out on an adventure of a lifetime, a cruise around Alaska, full of wildlife, wild vistas and wild fun! They’re ticking off items on their bucket list faster than you can say glaciers, whales and crabs. From the Alaskan capital, they set off to go whale watching before travelling up to the spectacular Glacier Bay to see not one, not two, but seven glaciers! It’s then back to Juneau for a local delicacy at a crab shack. If you haven’t thought about travelling for a while, Johanna and Charlie might just be the ones to tempt you.
