Review

"Andrew King has traveled on many cruise vacations. His depictions in this book are essential for anyone seeking more detailed travel information on Alaska. Andrew's stunning photographs serve as visual aids for any traveler who may be undecided on which itineraries to include in their Alaska cruise adventures. I recommend this book as a useful travel guide."

"I met Andrew King in 2011 when he enrolled in the Personalized Alternative Education program with me at Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School in Aurora, Ontario. He came to me with such high levels of anxiety about school and academics that he often needed me to walk with him from the parking lot into the building. That first year had its ups and downs for Andrew, but in the end, he surpassed our expectations and earned his credits. In fact, it was my honour to present Andrew with the Most Improved Student award from our department. The following year, Andrew moved into the regular program to complete his requirements for graduation. I still remember Andrew stopping by to let me know how classes were going, to have me proofread a paper, or to simply catch up on life. It was amazing to see the changes that took place in Andrew, and it was inspiring to watch the growth of his confidence and self-esteem. Andrew had plans for his future, and his determination and hard work set those plans into motion. I was so proud watching Andrew cross the stage at his graduation, and even more thrilled when he was presented with the Character Award for Responsibility, which commemorated his accomplishments. Andrew attended college in Toronto where he studied travel and tourism, then moved to British Columbia to pursue a degree in hospitality. Since then, he has travelled the world on his own and has now written his first book. Andrew is a true inspiration and a testament to what perseverance and dedication can accomplish; he is proof that anything is possible. Congratulations on
all you have accomplished, Andrew. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you."

"This book has been a labour of love for Andrew. He has combined his love of cruising with his passion for photography, resulting in a delightful glimpse into the wonderful scenery of Alaska. Despite his young age, Andrew has become quite the expert on cruising, ticking off more countries in a few short years than most of us could in a lifetime. Every trip he's taken has been an opportunity for Andrew to hone his photography skills and learn everything there is to know about travelling on cruise ships. Anything Andrew doesn't know about cruising probably isn't very important anyway. He has made many friends on his travels and will soon be known as Mr. Cruise! He might even become as famous as the other Mr. Cruise (the one known for his action films)."

"We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise to Alaska. Andrew's photographs are spectacular, and you feel as if you're actually standing in the places that he describes. His love for his experiences shines through on every page. Andrew's suggestions for where to begin your cruise (ports) are top notch. He also talks about his favorite places to stay and where to eat. I have to say, his restaurant suggestions made our mouths water. This is a delightful travel guide for anyone wanting to experience Alaska from the sea. As he says in the beginning of the book, reading about a place doesn't compare to actually exploring it--but Andrew has done an excellent job presenting it here for us. We see a travel career in his future."

"A Visual Journey to Alaska is a STUNNING BOOK! When I first saw the photographs, I was mesmerized by the colours and detail. Looking from behind the lens and understanding Andrew's love for travel inspires me to want to visit more places. I look forward to seeing what other books Andrew has on the horizon. At a very young age this gentleman has already experienced the magic of many different lands. You will be immersed in a visual cacophony that will have you mesmerized for days. I highly recommend this book."

Stunning images and a great read

A visual journey to Alaska is just that. The author has pinpointed several areas of interest and while we're still unable to travel, this is an enjoyable way to do just that from the comfort and safety of your home. It would make a great gift for a travel lover with its beautiful photographs and accompanying text. Highly recommended.
