But you don't have to take our word for it… "Part of the joy of cruising is interacting with the crew. When they hail from the destination you're visiting, the experience can be even more rewarding… Plenty of small ships navigate the narrow fjords that surround the towering glaciers of Alaska, but only Alaskan Dream Cruises visits the isolated villages of Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian tribes along the coast."
