We Saw Alaska in the Summer – How About You? – Part 3 of the Summer Vacation Series
Our Alaska Summer Vacation
My wife, Lynn, and I took a Holland America Cruise/Tour of Alaska for 10 days back in early August of 2003. It was the first item on our “Bucket List”.
For the Summer Vacation Series, I looked at a lot of mediocre quality video that just didn’t come close to my own memories of the grandeur of Alaska. So I settled on a Holland America informercial HD Video (below) as the best way to give you a superbly filmed and narrated glimpse of the highlights of our tour and of what is available to the Alaska tourist.
We opted for a three day Inland Passage from Vancouver to Skagway and a 7 day inland tour through the Yukon to Fairbanks and back down to Denali and finishing on the pristine Prince William Sound. We then flew home from Anchorage.
We had a marvelous time and would highly recommend this tour company (though we are in no way connected with it).
Here’s a slideshow of only a tiny portion of our trip.
Holland America Alaska Tours Video
I try to keep YouTube videos as close to 4-6 minutes as possible but this one runs 16 minutes. If you are interested in Alaska, the time will fly by and if you aren’t that committed, you can quit any time.

Our tour was the last one described in the video – 3 day cruise from Vancouver via the inland passage to Skagway; bus tour through the Yukon to Fairbanks; scenic train rides; Denali and a clear view plane ride around Mt. McKinley, Anchorage; Prince William Sound (A huge highlight) and fly home.
Etc.
