This book is mostly for teenage kids traveling by cruise to Alaska; however it gives adults quick and easy info as well. It covers all you can do in Alaska. It is simple to read and understand and very informative. It offers many ideas and tips to be prepare. It has fun activities at the end of the chapters and many web sites to get more info or resources. It ends with a chapter about Vancouver and Seattle and a mini diary for the kids to record their adventure. I used it to prepare my 4 and 6 years old children while on the trip. We all learned a lot.

Grandma, will we hit an iceberg? What about the pirates? These have been the questions that I have to field preparing for a cruisetour with my grandson to Alaska in June/July. Although the children who reviewed cruises did not answer these questions, their knowledge and enthusiasm has convinced the grandson that maybe Grandma knows how to have a good time adventure.

Tips on clothes, eating, shore trips have helped us make our decisions ahead of time. The kids' view is not an adults', it is different.

We are taking 4 grandchildren to Akaska this summer. The book is a nice way to get them prepared. Parents will be reading it to them before we departed . It will ad to the excitement of the trip, and increased their knowledge of what we will be seeing.
