We woke early for breakfast in our room, not wanting to miss a moment of what would become the major natural highlight of our cruise—navigating the breathtaking Holkham Bay Glacier Fjords.
Because larger cruise ships can’t access this hidden gem, it felt like a secret passage into Alaska’s untouched wilderness. Cecile and I stood in awe as slabs of ancient ice calved from the glacier, into the water below. Even the smallest shards sparkled like diamonds, floating past us in silence.
With only 1,250 guests aboard Oceania and a remarkable staff of 800 from over 50 nations, it’s easy to feel pampered. But today, the true luxury was outside. Nature herself was the star, and we were just lucky enough to be there to witness it.
