Surpassed Our Expectations: Sitka to Petersburg on M/V Westward

I’m chuckling as I write this. I just took a look at a mailing from one of those mega cruise lines in which they describe their Alaska and Inside Passage cruise for 930 people. No, thank you. I grew up in a community about that size and don’t consider traveling with a small town a vacation... More

Wonderful Adventure!
