7 days in Alaska visiting Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan, on board the Discovery Princess with Princess Cruises. In this video, I sample pretty much everything you can can whilst at sea – the all inclusive food, cocktails, balcony breakfasts with the Hubbard Glacier as a view, immersive dining experience – 360: An Extraordinary Experience, live theatre and get the most out of the MedallionClass which lets you order food and drink to anywhere on the ship, find your friends on board and book any of the hundreds of activities on board.

Sponsored by Princess Cruises.

  1. It's so nice to finally see a new SuitcaseMonkey video here mate! I've been waiting for this in days here & enjoyed this video by you being a aboard the Princess Boat here! Thanks for sharing & looking forward towards Part 2 soon of Alsaka here! 👍😀🇬🇧

  2. Very good video and reporting, and it’s really nice to see something from a cruise virgin as it gives a new perspective. We had been to Alaska on a similar cruise but were luckier with the weather and all our excursions happened. Bear watching, whale watching, helicopter to glacier with husky sledging etc so we were so lucky. Look forward to part 2. Best wishes from Hertfordshire

  3. This is definitely a cruise I want to take and would have but had to postpone. May I ask which month you took yours? Would hate to miss out on the excursions because of the weather since I've been wanting to go for the experiences for such a long time. Thank you, loved watching it.

  4. Wonderful video, as always! We're cruising to Alaska (on Royal) this September, so we'll look forward to your part 2!

  5. My wife and I were just sitting here saying you make some of the best travel videos on YouTube! Well done again! Thank you

  6. We're so happy to see you getting a prestigious sponsorship like this – it's very well deserved! We are going on an Alaska-Hawaii cruise in September (different cruise line) so this was particularly interesting to us.

  7. Just returned from 6 week holiday in the UK & Europe, helped by your videos. Canada and Alaska inside passage is on the list for next year so this is very timely. Thank you very much, once again.

  8. It seems like it was great trip, many places to visit plus the activities on the cruise and the food looks delicious as well, sounds fun, hopefully one day 🤞🏻

  9. Harriet and I have done that cruise twice. It never gets old. A nice video guide that hits all the right notes. Looking forward to Part 2 . Be Well. Stay Safe🙏🙏 Harriet and Jim

  10. I might’ve missed it but did you mention which Princess ship you sailed on? I would love to know. It’s such a beautiful ship.

  11. Your videos make me want to go to places that I never even thought of visiting.

  12. The 360 dining experience looked like total fun! I’ve never been interested in Alaskan cruise but this has peaked my interest. Never heard of such method of speeding up wine’s process. Thank you for excellent video!❤️🇨🇦

  13. Love your videos. We've been waiting for soooooo long. This was excellent. Can't wait for part II.

  14. Concept of being on a cruise ship waking up in new locations, watching the “vista” develop and change and seeing wildlife (whales) does appeal. Less appealing is the sense of “being closed in” and finding your own “space”: and how much “real” do you have viewing wildlife and take trips. So I’m conflicted, guess it’s about compromises and that’s tough when traditionally being able to be flexible on what to do when and more or less and how has worked. Be interesting to see you next v-log which I am guessing will dig deeper into life on board, rooms, facilities and total cost. ( cruise companies web sites are not overly helpful) Not dismissed as for sure as yiu get older taking a cruise may become more appealing .
    Lastly, as usual yiu have produced a super summary of something that is of interest and a sloght change of direction from your usual awesome vacation/ trip videos . Still no Tofino ❤😂

  15. I'm so glad you've finally tried a cruise 🙂 it looks like you enjoyed it! Would you do another one? I've only been on P&O Cruises and loved it. Alaska looks beautiful. I can't wait for the next video 🙂

  16. Beautiful cinematography of this trip. What a beautiful place to visit, both the cruise and Alaska. The food looks amazing.

  17. looks like you are joining the big league now with sponsored cruises. Please do travel tour of Egypt or Ethiopia or Turkey soon!

  18. Enjoyed watching this like all your other videos.
    You are definitely the best on YouTube for travel, the quality of your videos are top notch.
    Excellent
    Well done and thank you

  19. Most of the jewelry stores are owned by the cruise companies and not locals. They shutdown in the fall and don't open again until the fall. Please do not go to these. Ask shopkeepers if they are open year round or how long they've lived in town to get an idea of they're locals.

    It's expensive to live in Alaska and it's sad that many tourists spend in these non-local shops.

    I was in Juneau a month ago and noticed that many tourists didn't go above a certain street although there were many businesses to visit like Indian food, local breweries, and local shops.

  20. 💖I absolutely love your videos…you inspire me to keep adding to my bucket list 😉.
    Japan has been on my bucket list for the longest time, finally booked a 3 week vacay with hubby this coming November, sooo excited!!!
    I’ve watched a lot of your Japan videos for inspiration & planning, thanks to you I’ve added Takayama to my itinerary.
    Thank you so much for all the AMAZING work that you do, love the commentary…you never fail to make me 🤣…sending you hugs from Melbourne Australia 🤗💖

  21. Detest cruises but if it was free I’m sure I could be persuaded 😂😂.
    Great vid as always mate, been a subscriber since the beginning and it’s great to see the channel thriving and getting top drawer sponsors….huge congrats, you and your lovely wife deserve it ❤

  22. What was your exact date so I can get a sense on what to pack- We are going soon, thanks for sharing your adventure 😉

  23. As always, first rate quality and very entertaining videos. Thank you so much for taking me with y'all around the world!!

  24. As Always: Brilliant video!
    Extremely skilful shooting, and amazing, easy to follow narrative.
    Bravo! 👏👏👏👏💖💐

  25. Alaska is a must-do on my list. We can fly up for free (my husband works for Alaska Airlines) and yet, I still haven't been! 🤦🏻‍♀️ This must be rectified. 👍 As always, your videography is stunning. Beautiful!

  26. Ok…this has convinced me to add Alaska to my list. And it looks like Princess offers an incredible experience! Thanks again for your beautiful video!
