As our ship, American Constellation, eases into Port Angeles harbor, it’s like we’re docking in a post card. Rising majestically on the horizon are the Olympic Mountains, framing the picturesque town below. It’s easy to see why the Spanish explorer who discovered the area named the harbor, “The Port of Our Lady of the Angels,” which later became Port Angeles. There’s much to see and do in this region, and as part of a 10-night, Grand Puget Sound cruise on American Cruise Lines, we’ll spend two days here. One day is devoted to seeing Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia. For the other, we are taking an excursion to Lake Crescent Lodge in Olympic National Park. If you love the outdoors, and the natural beauty you can find in America’s national parks, this is your kind of travel. READ MORE By GERRY BARKER
After we got the news we were booked on American Cruise Lines’ 10-night, Grand Puget Sound cruise, the first order of business for these two, longtime Floridians was finding clothes for a much different climate. This would be our first experience with ACL, which for over 50 years has specialized in cruises exclusively on U.S. rivers and coastal waters, from Florida to Alaska, with a domestic fleet of 17 ships and riverboats that host 100-200 guests. Our Grand Puget Sound cruise starts in Seattle, with an itinerary that takes us around the San Juan Islands, including an excursion into Victoria, British Columbia, and ending back in Seattle. Follow along on our cruise. The latest updates will be posted HERE. |
