Comparison

I’m looking at a cruise to Vietnam in 2028 and found a great itinerary on Regent. I’ve also seen one on Princess which is obviously a lot cheaper. For people who’ve sailed with Regent, do you think the extra cost is worth it? And what makes Regent so special compared to other cruise lines?

Skagway

Good afternoon everyone! My wife and I are excited, not only to take our first cruise, but we are using Regent and going to Alaska! We leave end of August and will be on the 7 day cruise 

Here are the excursions we have signed up for. My wife and I are in our early 60s and very fit and active. 

Klawock (whale and wildlife cruise)

Juneau (dog sledding on Mendenhall Glacier via helicopter)

Skagway (trail hike and float adventure)

Icy Strait Point (kayak adventure)

Cruising Hubbard Glacier (small boat excursion for whale watching)

Anyway, in Skagway, we are thinking of swapping out the trail hike and float adventure and doing one of the train rides - the choices are a) scenic rail and Yukon suspension bridge, b) VIP White pass scenic railway, c) White Pass scenic railroad. Thoughts?

And when on the train when it says you have to clear customs because you’re entering Canada is that a big deal?  Obviously we will have our passport, but does it take a lot of time? 

I would love to hear from anyone that has done any of the above excursions.
