Port of Vancouver: Ballantyne Pier - Ports - Alaska Vacation - My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!

Port of Vancouver: Ballantyne Pier

Ports

This was where our cruise ship, the Summit from Celebrity Cruises, was originally docked. We boarded Saturday afternoon and there was a gorgeous sunset as the ship left Vancouver heading north.

Our first sunset on the ship was really beautiful!
