Alaska Small Ship Cruise 🐋 | Day 2️⃣ On Day 2 of our @alaskandreamcruises cruise, we woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee to drink up on deck, and watched for whales. We spotted humpbacks, then orcas, as we cruised into port. Juneau wasn’t originally on the itinerary, but the ship needed an emergency plumbing repair (the toilets stopped flushing overnight), so we stopped in Juneau to have it fixed. A shuttle picked us up at the dock and took us into downtown where we started the day at the Alaska State Museum of history and culture. From there, we explored Juneau’s shops, sampled sours at @devilsclubbeer, and picked up a bottle of Juneauper Gin at @amalgadistillery to bring home as a souvenir. Then it was back to the ship, repaired and ready to go. We spent the afternoon watching more than a dozen humpbacks for a couple of hours. We got to see them bubble net feeding which I’ve seen in nature documentaries but was so awesome to witness in person. They circle a school of fish underwater to create a column, trapping the fish in a ‘bubble net’ by blowing bubbles from their blowholes. Then, one whale will sound a call (dinner bell🛎️), and at that moment all of the whales will simultaneously swim upwards, trapping the fish at the surface, to feed. What started as a rough day the crew really turned around for us. It’s easy to say your cruise experience was great when everything goes right, but I think it says more about a company and crew when something goes wrong and they swiftly make it right.💩They had signs posted all over the boat notifying passengers of the flushing issue. After breakfast, they told us there would be a change in itinerary and gave us tips on how to force-flush in our cabins. Being a small ship navigating narrow passages, they were able to get us into port swiftly to make the repair. By late morning, we were docked, we had a revised itinerary, and a coach picked us up to take us into Juneau. They were able to pivot and make sure we still had a fun, full day. AND they picked up everyone’s bar tab. The day could have been a disaster, but the team made sure it wasn’t. With a little help from the humpbacks, it ended on a high note.🐋😍

We're planning and packing for our trips up north and thought we would share one of our featured dishes aboard the Snow Goose: our Coffee-Crusted Grass-fed Coulotte Steak. Yum! What would you like to see on the menu? INGREDIENTS: 2 grass-fed coulotte steaks, about 8 ounces each 1/4 cup finely ground coffee 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil For the Asparagus: 1 pound asparagus, trimmed 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper For the Baked Yam Slices with Pesto and Parmesan: 2 medium-sized yams, sliced into rounds 1/4 cup pesto 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese INSTRUCTIONS: ✅ Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). ✅ In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. ✅ Place the yam slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle the coffee spice mixture over them. ✅ Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. ✅ While the yam slices are cooking, prepare the asparagus. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper. ✅ Once the yam slices are cooked, top each one with a dollop of pesto and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. ✅ Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the coulotte steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. ✅ Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare doneness. ✅ Serve the coffee-crusted grass-fed coulotte steak alongside the asparagus and baked yam slices. #instagood #recipeoftheday #eeeeeats #instayum #freshfood #Alaska #SnowGooseAlaska #SmallYachtCruise #AlaskaCruise #AlaskaAdventure #ExperienceAlaska #SustainableTourism #EcoFriendlyCruise #ExploreAlaska #DiscoverAlaska #YachtLife #AdventureAwaits #AlaskaBySea #OffTheBeatenPath #BucketListAdventure #CruisingAlaska #AlaskaSmallShipCruise

Onboard the Snow Goose, indulge in mouthwatering meals like our Furikake-crusted Wild Sockeye Salmon with veggies and steamed rice! Our talented onboard chef takes the helm, crafting three meals every day, alongside daily snacks and a refreshing happy hour. 🌱 We are committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring that every ingredient is thoughtfully sourced for its freshness and the highest quality. Interested in trying this meal at home? INGREDIENTS: 4 salmon fillets 1/4 cup mayonnaise (can substitute for 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, or sour cream) 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 1/4 cup furikake seasoning (Japanese rice seasoning) Oil or butter for greasing INSTRUCTIONS: ✅ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with oil or butter. ✅ Marinade for salmon: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, soy sauce, mirin, and lemon juice. ✅ Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top reusable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Allow to marinate for about 15-20 minutes. ✅ In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and furikake seasoning. Mix well. ✅ Take each marinated salmon fillet and press gently into the panko-furikake mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. ✅ Place coated salmon fillets on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the top of each fillet with a little oil to help with browning. ✅ Bake salmon in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and crust is golden brown and crispy. ✅ Once cooked, remove salmon from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. ✅ Serve with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a side salad. #salmon #dinner #instagood #recipeoftheday #eeeeeats #instayum #freshfood #Alaska #SnowGooseAlaska #SmallYachtCruise #AlaskaCruise #AlaskaAdventure #ExperienceAlaska #SustainableTourism #EcoFriendlyCruise #ExploreAlaska #DiscoverAlaska #YachtLife #AdventureAwaits #AlaskaBySea #OffTheBeatenPath #BucketListAdventure #CruisingAlaska #AlaskaSmallShipCruise

Capturing a glimpse of a Spotted Seal and her pup is a fairly common occurrence on our trips but still melts our hearts every time. Seals are known for their incredible diving abilities with some species being able to dive to depths of up to 1,000 feet. 😳 This allows them to hunt for food in the deep ocean where other predators cannot reach. Their large eyes help them see well in low-light conditions. #Spottedseal #Seals #AlaskaWildlife #Alaska #SnowGooseAlaska #SmallYachtCruise #AlaskaCruise #AlaskaAdventure #ExperienceAlaska #WildernessCruise #GlacierCruise #WildlifeWatching #SustainableTourism #EcoFriendlyCruise #ExploreAlaska #DiscoverAlaska #AlaskaWilderness #YachtLife #AdventureAwaits #AlaskaBySea #OffTheBeatenPath #BucketListAdventure #AlaskaGlacier #CruisingAlaska #AlaskaSmallShipCruise

With all of the heat most of us are dealing with, it’s a perfect time to talk about Alaskan cruises!! From smaller intimate ships as small as 22 guests to 40&60 or only 300 to mid range of 1000-2000 passenger or mega ships up to 4000 passengers, there is an experience for you!! 🛥Smaller ships are extremely intimate and get into more secluded areas very few venture to with zodiacs and kayaking and even polar plunging straight from your boat. ⛴Midsize ships offer the ultimate in luxury sailing combining fine dining, butler service all while experiencing unique shore excursions and amazing views from the ship. 🛳Larger ships offer a full range of entertainment for all ages, many kids activities, an array of dining options and a broad range of price and accommodations options.

I don't talk much about Alaska summer sunsets - maybe because that darn sun just doesn't seem to want to set! (It's not called the Land of the Midnight Sun for nothing) But when the sun finally does dip below the horizon, wow - what a show! Colors paint the sky and a hush falls over the world. Just gorgeous.

Shoestring Cove on Esther Island, Prince William Sound, is lined with granite slabs, many looking like they were dropped there by a giant. And on those very still days, the cove shows off with the most amazing displays of light and color. Stare at these images long enough and it's hard to tell where the shoreline stops and the water begins.

Northwestern glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park really knows how to show off. You've got every shade of blue and then the ice suddenly shifts to black and white.

Here's some fun history to start the week: Our classic yacht Sea Star (formerly Aquarius) was built in 1965 and at the time of her launch was the largest all-aluminum vessel ever constructed. Aluminum is an (in)famously difficult metal to work with, calling for a high degree of expertise (just try painting it!) and a correspondingly higher cost. And so in 1965 Sea Star represented the height of luxury, modern boat construction and technological advancement. Today, Sea Star still represents a beautiful blend of classic luxury, modern amenities and technological advances. We're proud to be a part of her continued legacy and look forward to welcoming you into her incredible story. . . . #npeseastar #classicyacht #sewardak #alaskasmallshipcruise #princewilliamsound #cruisinglife #historyisfun #aluminumboats #burgerboatcompany #luxurylife #oldisnew #legacy

Rocks on the outwash plain at Baird Glacier. In 2015 a glacial outburst flood called a jokulhlaup broke the glacier away from its terminal moraine. The landscape was completely changed.

One of the most thrilling things we get to do on our cruises is to wait and watch for glaciers to calve.

While having breakfast, I noticed a humpback whale just outside our Anchorage. Then I saw another, and another, and another. We hopped in the skiff and got to watch six humpbacks bubblenet feeding together. #whales #humpbackwhale #alaska #whalewatching #wildlife #wildlifecruise #nature #wildernesstours #tongassnationalforest #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photographycruise #alaskasmallboatcruise #alaskasmallshipcruise #mvdavidb
Harlequin ducks favor places with fast moving water and Ford's Terror sure has that. It's always nice to see these beautiful birds. #birds #harlequinduck #nature #wilderness #birdwatching #alaska #tongassnationalforest #fordsterror #wildernesstours #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #alaskasmallboatcruise #alaskasmallshipcruise #mvdavidb

When we got to the dock yesterday, we were met by @schoolhousefish with delicious rockfish and lingcod.
