Holland America Joins with U.S. Nat’l Park Service
to produce a “Glacier Bay Ranger Podcast Anthology”
The headline above caught my eye because I have been to Glacier Bay Alaska and the U.S. Park Service Rangers came on board and did some narration while we were in Glacier Bay. This story is about Holland America and the Rangers creating a pod-cast series about Glacier Bay and the Huna tribe of Indians that populated, and still populate the area. I was fortunate enough to sit in on a discussion while we were on our cruise with one of the Huna Elders and listen to some of her tales. It was very enlightening and entertaining.
I put the link to the article above so you can read the whole thing for yourself, but the reason I blogged about this was the fact that your vacation can also be extremely informative and entertaining if you take advantage of the things that are offered. According to the article, all 16 pod-casts can be downloaded and listened to on an iPod or a personal MP3 player. They also have pre-loaded iPods available onboard.
I personally would suggest downloading them and even listening to them before hand, because if you’ve never been to Glacier Bay Alaska before, you’re in for a jaw-dropping experience, and you might not pay much attention to what you are listening to, especially if you are trying to take pictures at the same time. The picture at the top of this blog comes from Glacier Bay and it was probably one of the most memorable places I have ever been.
So the next time you take a cruise, check with the cruise director to see if items like this are available for you to use while you’re onboard. When you book your cruise with me or your own personal travel agent, ask us to find out if this is available. If there are extras like this, I will always suggest them to you when you book a cruise with me.
Happy sailing!
