The weather may have not been so great, but my recent cruise to Alaska aboard Silversea’s Silver Shadowpresented many fabulous ship-spotting opportunities.

Alaska isn’t a destination where ships change with any kind of regularity; many vessels on the run have been summering in Alaska for years. With the constantly-changing weather and scenery, however, there are arguably better photo opportunities here than in the Caribbean.
Here’s a look at some of the ships, big and small, that we encountered last week:
