Travel Counsellor Eleanor Roche had always been convinced Alaska wasn’t for her. After sailing to the US state with Princess Cruises earlier this month, however, she couldn’t feel more differently.

Travel Counsellor Eleanor Roche says her opinion of Alaska has completely changed since returning from the US state earlier this month 

For years, I dismissed Alaska with the same thought many people have: "It's cold. It's not for me."

I couldn't have been more wrong.

As Alaska cruises have become increasingly popular with my clients, I started to understand the appeal, even though I hadn't experienced it for myself.

Long before I had the opportunity to sail there, Alaska had firmly earned its place on my bucket list.
