Totem Poles on Radience

[BigKeith]

Looking through my 'Royal Caribbean Art Book' and remembered the totem poles on the top deck of the Radience. I don't seem to recall them on any of the other Radience class ships though, are they on anymore of those?

 

If not, I guess that's why Radience is always the R class that services Alaska

The Totem Pole is symbolic and exclusive to Radiance because of her itineraries to Alaska.

I believe it was a gift from an Alaskan Indian tribe.

 

And Serenade used to sail Alaska in the summer. RCI cut back their presence.

This beautiful cedar totem pole was hand carved by a native of Ketchikan, and unveiled in June 2001 during Radiance's visit to that port. It celebrates native Tlingit culture and tradition.

But there wasn't one given to Serenade?

Radiance was the first in the class and first to cruise to Alaska. Here is a link to a picture I found on the web of what was there prior to the Totem Pole http://www.fratkin.com/cruises/rots/show.php?image=DSCN4356.JPG
