my first few days exploring ALASKA ❄️🏔️ scenic train in Skagway, shopping in Sitka, + more!

[@tarabaillie7115]

The joy on the faces of the people who had never seen snow 🥺❄️ So heartwarming ❤

Tell Eve we love her accent!

[@kristinekugler]

I sure will 🥰🥰

[@allee541]

How beautiful, picturesque and scenic was the towns and train ride!! stunning. So glad you took us again for the second day.

[@kristinekugler]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

[@lgmontecino]

That train ride was my most favorite part of my Alaskan cruise! So epic!

[@kristinekugler]

So cool! It was beautiful!!

[@kosipova01]

Wow that’s a lot of snow! Glad you went on a scenic train! So beautiful! I hope you got some serious boots! Stay warm! ❤

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you 🤗

[@LauraBedokis]

Yay!! You finally made it to Skagway!! It's lovely here. Hope you had fun! :)

[@kristinekugler]

Skagway is one of my favorite ports we go to 😊😊

[@MrCalifornia1234]

That’s awesome that you already did the Juneau hike! If you really have a more time and want to get a good workout in, you can hike from the left side of town and bypass the tram all the way up past the waterfall. I’m assuming later in the summer, you will get some warmer days and some beautiful wildflowers up there! Enjoy!

[@kristinekugler]

Thanks for the tip! I’m definitely hoping to go on hikes once the weather warms up a bit more! Sadly we’ve had quite a bit of rainy Juneau days as well!

[@MyShayCo]

Alaska was always on my to see list....... and is even more now.......Many Thanks 🍀🏔🏔🏔🍀

[@MrCalifornia1234]

Another Juneau recommendation is to hike to the Mendenhall glacier. You can get a round trip bus ride for about $10 from downtown Juneau and get in an easy two mile hike to see it. Just bring that warm Alaska jacket as in May and June it’s still cold. You can also take a plane or helicopter but that’s a lot more than $10! 😃

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much for sharing!! Definitely going to add that to my list of things to do in Juneau!!

[@Scoundrel1144]

I did the same train ride during my Alaska cruise. It was so cool. You were so lucky to experience the Aurora Borealis.

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you!! Glad you experienced the same excursion!! 🥰

[@seastheday123]

We were on Ovation to Alaska last week, got to meet some of the dancers at the zoom desk. The shows were amazing you are all so talented!!!! Had a wonderful week! We were on Ovation 5 years ago to Alaska and did the train ride then and it was amazing!!! In Skagway try a dough boy they are delicious sold next to Glacial coffee house. In Victoria try a beaver tail, also very delicious.

[@ryanm7249]

Glad you had fun! I love cold weather and want to visit Alaska one day. I also want to visit the mountains in Colorado because they have mountain lions, and I think mountain lions are cool. They make a screaming noise which is really unique.

[@kristinekugler]

Oh wow that would be amazing!

[@araeofsunshine9435]

What a temperature change! Alaska has such a rugged beauty, enjoy every minute! As always, praying for smooth seas! 🚢

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@abigailmuir7878]

So neat to see Alaska! Can’t believe it’s still so cold there when it is summer haha. Looking forward to more Alaska vlogs!

[@kristinekugler]

More to come!

[@ColoRadio6996]

Be sure to go see the "Fortress of the Bear" when you stop in Sitka. You can take a local bus... Stay safe.....J

[@RobertHansenRob]

Raced home from work when i saw you had put up a vlog! That was such a great vlog. Such amazing views from the train 🚉

[@kristinekugler]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰🥰

[@kellymeredithdc7436]

I did the train in July and it was amazing. I wish we could have gone with it snowing. That looked magical.

[@christystrawn1569]

I recently found your channel because of your book review! But now I am loving all of your vlogs! Such a great mini escape. :)

[@kristinekugler]

I'm so glad you’re here! Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@maryannkeith4062]

I've been to Alaska, but not on a cruise so excited to see more of your time in Alaska to help me figure out if I want to do a cruise there some day!

[@kristinekugler]

Please do! It’s so beautiful!!

[@rolandgallmann173]

Greetings from Switzerland. Find you last weekend, binge watched since all your vids about ship life. Love your content. Enjoy your adventure, thank you for taking us with you.

[@kristinekugler]

Aw love that so much! Thanks for following along! 🥰

[@christinemanuel4153]

Kristine, now the mums coming out of me, you need to buy some more warm clothes otherwise your going to get sick - warm inside, cold out, a recipe for colds and coughs. The train ride was stunning, makes me want to go to Alaska even more (mind you I despise the cold) but I will grin and bear it to go there. Look forward to more Alaska blogs 😊

[@72cmcinc]

Super cool visit! Alaskan cruise is on the bucket list!

[@kristinekugler]

Definitely should! It’s amazing! 🤩

[@philipschmidt1801]

Looks like you had so much fun in Alaska! We’ve been on a cruise to Alaska with Celebrity and a 2 day inland tour as well, been to Skagway, one of our favorite cruises! Thanks for taking us along with you on your journeys!

[@kristinekugler]

So cool!! Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@trinbagoroj]

It brought Back memories when I did the inside straight for Alaska with Royal Caribbean. on Serenade of the Seas visiting Juneau, Skagway, Haines and Tracy Arm Fjord (cruising).

[@kristinekugler]

Aw so glad to hear that! 🥰

[@alkruzins1168]

Skagway WP rail is excellent Done it b4 Try the red Dog or is red onion saloon in Ketchikan? Did train go into Dawson Canada U couldn’t get out I think

[@kristinekugler]

Red dog saloon is in Juneau! I haven’t been yet!

[@keeganmcgilacuddy472]

What a beautiful adventure! Did you go to film school? The photography was amazing and the background music was awesome. Alaska is stunning beautiful.

[@kristinekugler]

I really appreciate that!! I’ve learned filming and editing on my own, I’m glad you appreciate it!

[@robinn1103]

I literally said yay out loud multiple times when I saw that your new video is of Alaska!!

[@kristinekugler]

Aw that’s makes me so happy! 😁

[@MrCalifornia1234]

Love it. Seen both of those ports and did the train ride too. Are you going to Juneau by chance? If so, take the tram to the top and plan for a one to two hour hike passed a waterfall and the snow level. Amazing views. 👍👍

[@kristinekugler]

Yes we do go to Juneau!! I did that mini hike last week, just because I only got to the waterfall before we had to turnaround to get back onboard. Hopefully I can hike all the way up one of these days when the weather is nice!

[@FeinLineMusic]

Can we just talk about your epic choices of music throughout your videos?! Love all the styles you use and how it accompanies the visuals! GREAT EARS KK! 🎶

[@kristinekugler]

Aw so kind!! Thank you so much! ☺️

[@maddi3582]

Thanks for a great video. Brought back great memories. Loved that railway, and good to see those rickety bridges still standing! We used to sail to, and stop at a tiny place called Icy Passage/Strait? (for whale watching trips)and I think there was a pizza place that sold fish pizza...! Used to love Juneau. Trips to glaciers and, I think, Walmart? Thanks for sharing the great time you're having!

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much!! Yes I hope to do the plane to see the glacier from Juneau one day!

[@kkwan9788]

Just came back from an Alaskan cruise on Royal Caribbean. It was amazing! I recognize a lot of the locations you shared with us in your video. I highly recommend you try a whale watching adventure. Thanks for sharing your adventures onboard with us. Kevin from Toronto, Canada!

[@timothycheuvront8284]

I've never been on a cruise. Always preferred to fly to a destination and soak it in for a few days or longer. After seeing your Alaska bit, I'm actually going to give a cruise there a shot! (did you get some mittens?)

[@kristinekugler]

Unfortunately my package of mittens got delivered to the wrong place 😢 Hopefully I can get them next week!!

[@Troy_Harland]

This is great 👍🏻 definitely getting me excited for my Alaska cruise onboard Ovation this August now. If have any must do activities or places to visit please let me know. Keep up the awesome work and I’ll be looking forward to more Alaska content. Enjoy 😀

[@kristinekugler]

I will for sure keep sharing my Alaska adventures on my channel! Hope to see you onboard!! 🥰

[@Cory69]

Kristine your so very pretty love your channel!

[@melissabarclay8431]

Brr it looks cold there I am from Florida and as pretty as it looks i really dont have any desire to visit lol I will just watch your videos. I am a beach and warm weather person but its is really neat that with your job you get to see so many places and I love the book stores

[@LordToogood]

Love these videos and being shown around. No wonder you are cold, your black jumper had a gaping hole in the front 😉 Good to see Eve again too and also Tassie, Yay go there Tassie . You now have me trying to be nosey and see what book you are reading and trying to pause when you show a quick second shot of the page.

[@kristinekugler]

I was reading “The Rule Book” by Sarah Adams and I’m currently reading “The Great Alone” by Kristin Hannah! Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@kristinestocker]

I've been to Sitka before. It was charming. Well you go to Ketchikan also? That was my favorite.

[@kristinekugler]

Sadly that was the only time we went to Ketchikan!

[@kristinestocker]

@@kristinekugler Glad you got to go once. Shame the ship won't be back there again on this tour. Have fun in Alaska 🌞

[@elizabeththompson1525]

How long will you be in Alaska? Is it cold? Can’t exit to see this new content!!

[@kristinekugler]

Until October!

[@JangoFett-lv2wz]

Another fun video. Your movie of the White Pass Railroad is better than mine ... more happy people in it. I must recommend exploring the 'Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel' in Sitka. I believe it was built when Sitka was still the capital of Russian America. The artifacts and art inside (like The Sitka Madonna) are unlike anything else and add to a truly unique day in Alaska. First time in Juneau? Weather permitting, you can ride the tram to the top of Mt. Roberts. Careful, Eve might see a real bear up there.

[@kristinekugler]

I will definitely stop in the cathedral in Sitka! We’ve been waiting for a great weather day to go up the tram in Juneau! I did it years ago but would love to do it again with Eve!

[@JangoFett-lv2wz]

@@kristinekugler Hope you enjoy it. Perhaps you'll take us along.😉

Wow!!! Thanks so much for doing this video. We are taking the train in Skagway and now we have a better idea of how it is. Keep up the great work. Love Love Love all the content of Alaska. See ya in September!!❤
