    First time on tour was great
    9/5/23 by 1st-time traveler Sharon

    This was my first tour ever and first cruise. The people in my group were all really friendly and kind. Alaska was a great adventure! Unfortunately the weather was cloudy for most of the time. So neat to see so many mountains and the ocean full of life!
