Vancouver to Alaska Cruise on Norweigan Sun Review

Image
I started writing this on the last day of the cruise and now I have been back for months so the post will change from in the cruise to after.

You can read about day 1 of the cruise here  Day 1 Vancouver to Alaska on Norwegian Sun  I also have a cruise Youtube playlist here  Vancouver to Alaska cruise YouTube June 2025 Playlist This is the last day at sea we will return to Vancouver tomorrow.
