A special cruise that you (Betty Sterling) booked for us was for the Northwest Passage on Crystal. The serenity was the first cruise ship to go through the fabled Northwest passage. Highlights of the 32 day voyage from Anchorage to New York city included seeing polar bears hunting, visiting First Nations, being in places where early explorers had been, and walking on glaciers of Greenland. We explored from zodiacs. I especially remember the triumph end of our trip. We sailed by the Statue of Liberty at dawn and NYC TV news crews in helicopter filmed us as (we rounded the bend) to go up the Hudson to dock.
