Movie: Orca Whales Race Alaska's Inside Passage, originally uploaded by Luxury Cruise Bible.
When people ask me why I love cruising Alaska, I always tell them the same thing: it's one of the most beautiful places in the world and if you love animals, you'll have the opportunity to view bears, whales, eagles, sea lions, seals, and so much more.
I taped this video clip last summer while sailing aboard the Safari Spirit 12-passenger yacht with American Safari Cruises. We were on the yacht's skiff and were somewhere on the Chatham Strait between Red Bluff Bay and Baranof Island.
The orcas were fascinating! It was amazing to get this close to a pod. We were traveling really fast so the footage is a bit jumpy. It was tough to watch the whales and keep the camcorder focused at the same time! This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime travel moments.

Andrea, you've captured exactly why a yacht cruise with American Safari Cruises is such a high. The crew go out of their way to grant guests this kind of experience.
My husband and I have had the privilege of cruising with ASC in both Alaska and Baja and loved every minute of each experience. I've posted photographs from the voyages online at: http://barones.smugmug.com/Travel/555170.
Thanks for sharing!

Ellen,
You've got some amazing shots from your ASC Alaska cruise! We never got to see whales bubble net feeding, but you got some terrific shots. The rainbow and eagle photos caught my eye too. But I think my favorite photo in the set is the close-up of the seal. You must have been in a kayak to get that one! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! —Andrea
