- Alaska has been the BEST cruise destination yet and it just gets better and better today as we visit Glacier Bay and Skagway. Glacier Bay was absolutely breathtaking. 360° of nothing but beauty all around you. Skagway was my favorite Alaska destination. I loved how cute the town was the White Pass Railway is in my top 10 of things I have seen throughout all of our travels. Definitely recommend that one! And do not miss the Klondike Doughboy in Skagway. It really is heaven in your mouth!

A Little About Sean & Stef:
I'm Stef and together with my husband Sean, we started this channel to document our travels around the world. Sadly, Sean passed away from cancer in 2021 but the one thing he made me promise him was that I would continue to travel. So that is what I am doing. And I am learning through every painful new, solo adventure, there is joy and hope. Here's to all the new experiences that are out there awaiting US (cause Sean will always be by my side)!
I said it before and I'll say it again, your joy and wonder at experiences is awesome. We were in Alaska last Sept but you bring the first-time wonder flooding back in. For places I haven't been it makes me want to go even more. Never lose that, you are inspirational in remembering that it's ok to have that wow factor as an adult like we did as children. I can picture you dancing in the rain when the mood strikes. If you do, Keep doing it. We need to remember it's perfectly fine to act like a child sometimes. Stay safe and be blessed.
I believe the hat color is Fushia. My son had a Mohawk that color in high school. Can't miss you lol
Fun fact about the Red Onion Saloon, women own it. The men are the "paid" workers. lol
I agree wholeheartedly!! Stef is a joy to listen to and watch!❤️❤️❤️
On Princess we did an excursions from the ship that was only the train. You just walked off the ship, onto the train, and then the train went up to Canada, crossed over and then without stopped came right back. It was perfect. Then I could walk about the town before returning to the ship.
I half expected David to be zipped up into an arctic sleeping bag on the glacier boat. 😂❤
Great vlog as always! Many thanks for sharing, but I did chuckle when you said you hadn’t eaten all day before the doughboy - what about the chocolate cookie? That looked pretty delicious, thanks again for sharing
Hahaha, I totally forgot about the cookie. That’s so funny. In my defense, that cookie was kind of tiny 😉 It was oh so yummy. Thanks so much for following along on the adventure
Lovely episode 😊 Always good to know when Ben and David are with you.
OMG...that music was perfect for your friend when you were spinning in Glacier Bay! LOL!!!
Those boys are so cheeky, you’re a wonderful gang. That shot of you on the back of the train was something else! 😊 and wonderful new hats. Great to end with a cocktail 😊
Absolutely stunning
Hi Stef . I'm happy for you again!
After recently finding Ben and David’s vlogs, I came across you, Stef. You have me hooked on your travels 🤗 I have never been in a cruise but that may change next year….whoop whoop 😂 My sister-in-law in Boca Raton is celebrating a special birthday and she wants the family to join her on a cruise. I am SO excited 🤗 My husband and I live in South Africa and it will be my first visit to America, but how special to get to fulfill 2 dreams!
You are a beautiful,soul and I have (through your vlogs) watched you slowly transform after losing your beloved Sean. I have cried with you, laughed with you and gone through so many emotions. You are fulfilling dreams you both had and your special angel must be bursting with pride that you are continuing on with your adventures. I cannot wait to see more from you. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for following along on the adventure. It has been an up and down rollercoaster for sure. So awesome that you will be going on your first cruise next year. Celebrating so many things. Hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy every minute. Thank you for all your kind words and thanks for the love and support. Means the world to me ❤️
We were at Hubbard Glacier in 2017. There were all kinds of "little" icebergs in the strait. We thought they were small until we saw one with a black dot moving towards it. Thought it was a seal until we looked at it with binoculars. It was a man in a kayak. OMG! That "little" iceberg was probably 70 feet tall.
It’s interesting that you brought up moisturizing, because I was going to tell you that you have the most flawless skin I’ve ever seen!
I so look forward to your posts. Best Cruise Vlogger EVER!!!
Awwww, thanks for the very kind words. And thanks so much for following along on the adventure
Hi Stef. You are so positive 😊. Alaska is a great destination 😊
@warrenwolf4690 thanks for the kind words. I definitely fell in love with Alaska
What an amazing day! I got to go to Alaska and Skagway on Princess with my mom 8 years ago. We both loved it so much. Love it when I see you have a video out. It feels like a short visit from you, thanks! Keep having fun. ❤❤❤❤
So amazing you got to visit Skagway with your mom. Glad you had a wonderful time. Skagway was my favorite Alaskan port ❤️
Marjorie Glacier is my favorite - soooo pretty! I’m so glad you got to go on this trip, and that you got to do it with good friends. Fred Flintstone style…LOL. I can’t wait to take my grandsons on the White Pass next summer!!
Majorie was soooo pretty. I am so happy we had nice weather. The blue from the glacier was unbelievable. Hahaha, gotta have that coffee for all these long Alaska days. YAYYYY for taking your grandsons on the White Pass. That will be amazing!
Thank you for sharing. When I saw your video and the one from Ben and David I realize that I had to go back to Alaska and especially to Skagway. We were there last year in May and didn’t do the train ( it only rode a small part then) and didn’t eat the dough thing or drink the rendeer fart. So we had to go back.
We had a great excursion with gold panning, hugging the puppies and seeing the sled dogs pulling the sled. And learning about the gold rush. It was fun, but I do want to go on that train.
Heeeey wow long time I have not check on your channel so sorry the most of the time I watched on Ben and David channel ….now watch your channel wow beautiful mountain of the snow and glaciers…… wow beautiful….. myself haven’t this experience before I’d like to go….. so good to se ya. ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you are feeling better friend 😊
Thank you 😊 Hope you are well
that dude that weighed your gold said you had 1.3 grains of gold and said it was worth 17.00. It is actually worth 5 dollars. I bring it up because I did that exact same excursion a few years ago and also did not have a clue of how to gold pan and did the same thing while we were there and liked cookies more than the gold . years later (present day) I do a vacation channel as well as a gold hunting channel(groovygoldhunter) and even though I did that excursion, It was a bag of pay dirt I bought on Amazon that gave me the "gold fever" and I have doing it since, so I love that you showed the same place I went to a while ago and and had the same reaction as I did when I was there. Great video!
Skagway is a beautiful town and that train looks spectacular! Can't wait to go on an Alaskan cruise!!
Skagway was my favorite port in Alaska! The train is definitely in my top 10 list of things I have done
Stef, always a pleasure to vicariously travel with you. The snow reflecting off the snow intensifies the rays significantly causing the warmth factor. I too live in Florida but lived in California snow country for 15 years. You are amazing and your enthusiasm is contagious!
That makes total sense with the snow. Never thought about that. Thanks for following along on the adventure and thanks for your lovely comment ❤
Fun video
Those Alaska excursions look fantastic. I love the cold and snow. Looks like my kind of cruise. So are you going to quit your day job and just pan for gold? 🙂
Stef, I liked your grey hat but I LOVE your new pink hat. I like David's hat too. I'm going to Alaska in Sept and I won't be going to Skagway but it's good to know that I will need lotion. I live in Winter Garden Florida and I was assuming that I would need to pack extra lotion. I grew up in NY state and I definitely got dry in the winter. Love your vlog, keep it up girl!
I love your videos! You're a wonderful tour guide! ❤
Thanks so much and thanks so much for watching!
Stef's best joke ever..."In case you didn't know, this used to be a brothel. That's fun!" OMG, I laughed so hard! That was great!
I have absolutely loved watching this series from all 3 perspectives. How lucky are we to get to see that?
Hey Stef
Happy Friday to you. Wow!!! Great Video. Thanks for the smiles & and laughs... We always look forward to seeing your videos. You make it so much Fun.
Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Have a Great Weekend
😂🎉😂
I loved this episode! You had so much more snow on the train than we did in early June of 2022. Sad that we somehow missed getting Doughboy thing or a Reindeer Fart while in Skagway. Something to look forward on a future trip.
Thank You for letting us travel with you. Your a great travel guide. Sooo much fun. I need to go there. ❤
I so enjoy watching your adventures all the way from New Zealand. Long may they continue. You always make me smile❤
I’ve never been to Glacier Bay but I’ve been to Hubbard Glacier twice. The calving there was pretty nonstop. It was rarely more than 2-3 minutes between calving episodes. Mostly small “calves” but significant ones, too.
So happy to see you enjoying Alaska! The mountains with the snow are beautiful! The train ride looked like fun! Can’t wait to see what you get into next! Hugs from your SC Nana! ❤
Look into mini-binoculars!
Have loved all these vlogs. So excited for my October Alaskan trip!
Thanks for following along! I am so excited for you to see Alaska!
Hi Stef. Happy Friday, a video from you always makes my day. 😊 All the memories you're bringing back for me. Thank you for all the wonderful adventures that I get to see through your eyes. BTW... Doughboy is the best!! Hope you have a great weekend. ❤❤
Hi Mary Ann and Happy Friday to you! I fell in love with Alaska and I can't wait to sail there again. I miss that doughboy everyday, haha. It was soooo good! Hope you have a great weekend as well ❤
This was a great video. Love all the things you did. I especially loved the train ride!
Thanks Tonya! I fell in love with all things Alaska and the train ride was definitely a highlight. It was like entering the a magical snow world. Thanks so much for watching
Very nice Stef that was a great trip. Too bad you did not get more gold, did you have to turn that in or could you have kept it?
We got to keep the gold. I still have my little case. They did have some souvenirs you could have bought to showcase your gold too
When was your cruise to Alaska? We’re going in mid-September and love trains! Looks like a great excursion.
We were there at the beginning of May. Would love to go back in the summer. So many animals should be out. The train is fantastic. Definitely recommend it. Have a great time!!
Thank you so much for you quick reply! Fun fact: we lived in Ocoee back in 1975 (waaaaay before you were born!), but taught in Winter Garden. Now we live in Clearwater.
Do you happen to know the name of the place where you did the gold panning? We are renting a car on our Alaskan cruise in a couple months and would love to try it!
We went through the ship and it was a package with the white pass railway. I did a quick google search for “gold panning Skagway” and the very 1st one through Alaska Shore Tours was the place that we went. Have a great time on your cruise!
Haha.....about 31 grams in an ounce, so you said 6 grams (.2 ounces). Came up about 5 grams short. Wah, wah, wahhhhhhhh.
.2 ounces of gold = $400.....Congrats!
Well I didn’t quite get that much. I was around $17 but still felt pretty proud of myself
