A wonderful video posted at Cruise Line History will surely appeal to Alaska cruise enthusiasts who have even a passing interest in history.

You can follow the SS Alaska as it steams away from the port of Seattle in 1954 en route to the Alaska Inside Passage.  It’s great fun to watch the clips of passengers dancing across the deck floor, playing cards, eating in the elegant dining room–and donning life vests for the always mandatory evacuation drill!

It’s fascinating to see how Alaskan cruising has changed over the years!  Do you think there were Alaska cruise deals back then?
