This trip was awesome. While I am a 'senior', the crew went out of their way to engage all ages. We saw sea otters, seals, orca and humpback whales, puffins, porpoises, sea lions, lots of other birds including eagles. The history of Resurrection Bay and the nature talks were informative and interesting. You can see mountains and glaciers from the ships, the train and the cruise ships but we saw more on this 5 hour cruise than in 5 days of shore excursions from the cruise ship all along the Alaskan coast.
