That is the same trip that we are going on, the we are cruising on the valenda. Thanks for the right up. It sounds great. I wondered about the day that we have the very long bus ride. The itinerary says expect 9 hours going into Whitehorse. Is it really that long, and do they make stops, entertain you, feed you? And was there time then yo see Whitehorse? I printed out the itinerary last night, and gave it a first look over. I saw that we have a Gala. Sounds exciting, hope my clothes are okay. I'm not the type to bring vacation clothes for two different events, as I usually just wear casual clothes.

With all of my questions, I really want to thank everyone who responded! Can't wait!

1 week to go, everything printed out, and thanks to everyone!!!!

Thanks so much for the info. I think I picked the wrong number. We have 2 nights in Danali, none in Skagway. Just a suggestion to check in then leave the boat and look around. I was hoping to explore Whitehorse, but it sounds like that isnt possible.

What is the dress code on the ship? My husband is meeting me after 10 days of fishing on the Kanai Peninsula before the trip, so I doubt he will have much cruisewear. Probably a button down and casual pants. Do we need to get dressed up?

Your trip log was wonderful. Can't wait to try some of the restaurants. Is Tea served everyday. I always loved that. Years ago, like 45, I cruised with my parents and remember the midnight buffet. Guess that is a thing of the past!

It is wonderful finally having a chance to see new things like this. I have 2 more trips planned before February! Cuba with my daughter in October (planned on our own) and Bangkok with a girlfriend in January (Gate 1 travel)

I would love to read your travelogue! Thanks. Ship questions... Do they have entertainment? How are the restaurants? Is there a particular dining option you'd suggest? I am hoping for fresh fish on board. We have a Vista suite on the left side of the ship. Hoping to see a whale. Did you? Ok, enough questions, looking forward to reading about your trip.

Just saw this. Thanks so much for the tips. I'll print them out. I was hoping for extra time in some of the spots, but understand the scenery on the rides is spectacular. Leaving in 12 days!!!

We will be on the Valendam. Can you tell me anything about the ship?

Thank you so much! I can't wait. My son talked us into this. He bicycled through here about 2 years ago and wanted us to see it. Sounds like we can find plenty to do without the excursions. I did hear about visiting a native museum or visitor sight, on one of the stops, but can't find my info. I will check at the visitor centers! Good to know about rain. Thanks.

We are going on the HAL Y3L Yukon tour late August. I am hoping we can see the sights at the stops without having to book shore excursions. And, many of those meals are not included. Has anyone done this trip? Any suggestions of things we can walk to and see at each stopover? Restaurants to try? And what kind of weather should I expect Late August into September.? Weather.com says 60's????? We have never done a trip like this, so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Going on this cruise next August. How was it?

I am planning the Y3 cruise as well, Anchorage first. We will b e going in 2017. Has anyone done this. Seems like a lot of transportation, but maybe worth all of the bus and train time? Any feedback? Thanks!
