Episode description
In Part 2 of our conversation with George Barter, former CEO of Barter's Travelnet, we pick up right where we left off — swapping the fast pace of Japan for life at sea aboard Oceania's cruise up to Alaska.
George takes us through his suite onboard, the standout dining experiences Oceania is known for, and what day-to-day life at sea is really like — including how he spent his days crossing the International Date Line. We also hear about the incredible glacier he visited in Alaska, his honest advice for anyone considering combining a destination like Japan with a cruise, and what's still on his travel bucket list.
If this episode has you dreaming of your own Japan and Alaska adventure — or anywhere else in the world — get in touch with our team, we'd love to help you plan it!
