We just posted our latest Alaska cruise review aboard Cruise West’s Spirit of Discovery from May 2008. Here’s an excerpt:
“It was during dinner that I witnessed a whale breaching outside of the dinning room window. About 15 to 20 passengers actually left dinner, went up to the bow and stood there watching this whale breach. It must have been playing around for about 25 minutes before the mother came along and took the child away. The pair came towards the ship, and right before it got to the bow, it did a magnificent dive with the fluke and everything, only feet away from the ship. It was incredible. So incredible in fact that the captain was on the bow with us taking pictures with his high-tech camera. It was one of the most breath-taking experiences of my life.”
