Episode 28 – Planning Virgin Voyages Alaska Excursions (Without Losing Your Mind)

In this episode of Two Grey Mice, Meg and Rob dive headfirst into planning their upcoming Virgin Voyages Alaska sailing — and more specifically, how to choose excursions without overbooking, overthinking, or ending up stuck on a bus all day.They walk through each port — Ketchikan, Sitka, Prince Rupert, and cruising the Tracy Arm Fjord — breaking down what’s actually worth doing, what sounds good on paper but might not fit their travel style, and why you don’t want to repeat the same type of excursion in every port.From wildlife cruises and kayaking to small-group tours, walking towns on your own, and leaving room for wandering (and snacks), this episode is all about intentional planning. If Alaska is on your cruise bucket list — especially with Virgin Voyages — this is your behind-the-scenes look at how experienced travelers and a travel advisor make their choices.And yes… they also talk about sea otters, bears, rain, and why “just winging it” isn’t always the move in Alaska.🎧 Listen in if you’re planning an Alaska cruise — or even just thinking about one.You can reach us with your podcast questions or ideas at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram @2greymicepodcast. If you want help planning your next vacation, please reach out to Meg at [email protected].
