Alaska - Tracy Fjord

The cruise was long. 7 days long. I was just up on the deck, admiring the scenery, chilling with my books with boredom ultimately driving me to the open buffet. I was almost stark raving mad with clothes that didn't seem to fit well anymore. As a person who proudly declared herself as a city girl, why on earth did i sign up for such a long scenic cruise?

Then we went to Tracy Fjord & it was all worth it.

I woke up at 5am to catch the sunrise, not knowing what to expect.

It was misty and foggy outside with little light.

The ship was navigating slowly with little icebergs surrounding us.

And then, there was light.




The ship was actually slowly navigating itself into a small channel surrounded by mountains & valleys. As the light hit, it was so breathtakingly beautiful. I was speechless, teary even for some unknown reason (Maybe from the cold) at the wonder of it all.






I was running from the left of the ship to the right of the ship to the top of the ship. Snapping, snapping, snapping like crazy.

We finally arrived at our destination. The Captain navigated the ship to as close as he could to this glacier. Yes, the glacier actually looks blue in real life. The dirt on the glacier comes from pollution & other unnatural sources. At this point in time, if the ship had offered 1000 USD for an opportunity to kayak to the glacier. I would have paid that and more.




The ship stopped for close to 30 mins at the glacier for photo taking opportunities before leaving.






Now if anybody asks me if a cruise to Alaska was worth it, i will now gladly say Yes ! after Tracy Fjord.

Trip of a life time indeed :)
