Imagine an afternoon at sea. You're on a small ship and the Captain has told you the sea conditions are getting worse and there are three metre waves for the next 18 hours or so. So you go up to the lounge at the front, order a nice drink and relax looking out to sea while listening to the resident pianist playing some chilled, laid back tunes to usher in the gently rocking evening.
Let's take you right there. Press play, pull up a chair, lean back into it and take an hour out to relax and enjoy the movement. :)
Enjoy an hour of delicious 4K relaxing sea bow views on board Windstar's Star Legend. Filmed in November 2021 between Madeira and Portugal in the North Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy. :)

![We Small-Ship Cruised Alaska. Is this the best way? PART 2
We spent 11 nights on a small ship exploring the most spectacular coastline on the planet. This is Alaska to Vancouver — and were doing it properly.
Forget the floating apartment blocks. Were on board Windstar Cruises Star Breeze — an elegantly compact ship that gets into hidden fjords, sidles up to calving glaciers, and sneaks into tiny ports the mega-ships can only dream about.
This is Part 2 of our 11-night small ship voyage from Seward, Alaska to Vancouver aboard Windstars Star Breeze — and things are getting properly epic.
In this episode:
🏙️ Juneau — the only US state capital you cant drive to, where bald eagles sit on streetlights and the Red Dog Saloon has been legally recognised as the oldest man-made tourist attraction in town (which tells you everything)
🧊 Tracy Arm Fjord — we didnt make it in. Now we know why. (August 2025. Look it up.)
🇳🇴 Petersburg — Alaskas Little Norway, complete with Viking parades, compulsory herring-throwing, and the worlds largest single-masted yacht inexplicably parked next to us
🐋 The Wrangell Narrows — hundreds of whales. Hundreds. Youll just have to watch.
🦅 Wrangell — four nations, one very underrated town, and a garnet mine run exclusively by children
🌧️ Prince Rupert, Canada — the wettest city in Canada, wolf safety tips in the phone book, and Grenville Channel, which is so beautiful it barely seems real
💥 Seymour Narrows — the underwater mountain that sank 119 ships, and the largest non-nuclear explosion in North American history
Oh, and we also make the case — fairly comprehensively, we think — for why Alaska should always be done by small ship.
🚢 Ship: Windstar Star Breeze (312 guests | all-suite | post-2021 stretch refit)
📍 Route: Seward → Juneau → Tracy Arm → Petersburg → Wrangell → Prince Rupert → Grenville Channel → Seymour Narrows → Vancouver
