After having my 2020 Alaskan cruise canceled due to obvious reasons, I have been anxiously awaiting the resumption of this tour. I was so disappointed to learn that Tauck will be using a company called Silversea Cruises, not Ponant. My disappointment is the size of the ship and the number of passengers; 388 now versus 184 before. I am not a big ship person and even had trepidations about 184 passengers. Subsequently, I did not book the tour. I opted instead for the small ship (Ponant) tour of the Great Lakes. Oh, well. I can always add some post tour days in Manhattan!
