I went on a cruise on Holland America’s Oosterdam from Seattle to Alaska in July 2013. The trip went through Puget Sound to Tracy Arm, then to Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan, before a final stop in Victoria, British Columbia.

Juneau is the state capial of Alaska, but it is only the third largest city of the state, with 32,000 inhabitants.
