Small Ship Cruise Talk

All About Alaska: Discovering the Inside Passage with Alaskan Dream Cruises


Listen Later

As part of our All About Alaska series, we share our experiences with Alaskan Dream Cruises, focusing on the unique aspects of small ship cruising in the 49th state. We discuss the authentic Alaskan experience, the Baranof Dream ship, daily life onboard, wildlife watching, pricing, dining options, entertainment, itinerary highlights, packing tips, and the benefits of extending your stay in Alaska.

During this episode, we reference: 

  • Photos of the Alaskan Dream Cruises ship and the Inside Passage Sojourn itinerary.
  • Amazon Alaska Packing List (including the essentials you need to stay warm, even during summer).
  • You'll want to bring your own pair of high-quality binoculars.
  • Be sure to travel with anti-nausea solutions, just in case you get seasick (better to have and not need than need and not have).
  • Bring a telephoto camera lens. Buy the one we suggest in our Amazon Alaska packing list (a fantastic, well-priced lens) and rent a lens from KEH for your trip. If you rent a lens, be sure to select the most coverage for rental insurance for the duration of your expedition cruise.
