These cruises were in 2019, the only year Azamara sailed to Alaska. They haven’t announced Alaska cruises yet, but rumor has it that they will be for the summer of 2026 on Pursuit. Will probably be announced with some fanfare, so keep an eye out!
When we sailed on Viking, the weather was beautiful, but they still kept the roof to the pool closed, making it stifling. Had to go to the smaller, stern pool for any relief.
