001 – Queen of the Mississippi Captain and an Inside Passage Cruise

Cruising on the Mississippi River and heading north to Alaska.

One of the youngest river cruise captains in America, American Cruise Lines’ Capt. Max Taber set aside a few minutes to talk about life on the Mississippi River, his beginnings as a deck hand and rising to the ranks of captain of the Queen of the Mississippi.

Then we continue north, all the way to Alaska.  Doug Parker of CruiseRadio.net joins us to recount his recent cruise through Alaska’s glacier-lined Inside Passage, which he describes as, “breathtaking.”
