Ports
Whittier AK, United States
Day1
About Whittier
Whittier is nestled at the base of mountains that line Passage Canal, a fjord that extends into Prince William Sound. The surrounding peaks are snowcapped for most of the year and a glacier hangs above the town to the west. Whittier is a berry picker's paradise with blueberries and salmonberries growing in abundance at the edge of town.
Activities in Whittier
- From Whittier, take on the sea during a wildlife- and glacier-viewing day cruise, a kayaking adventure or a fishing charter
Cruise Hubbard Glacier, U.S.A.
Day2
Glacier Bay AK, United States
Day3
About Glacier Bay
Glacier Bay provides travelers with the perfect day of cruising quietly through the best of Alaska. Visitors should have their camera ready to capture the moment giant pinnacles of ice crack off the face of the glaciers.
Skagway AK, United States
Day4
About Skagway
With its colorful history Skagway is one of the most interesting and bustling towns of the Inside Passage. Skagway was born during the Gold Rush of 1898 when more than 10,000 adventurers used the community as the starting point of their hunt for gold. Now, nature has reclaimed the land, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the rainforest, visit historic ruins, breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Activities in Skagway
- Ride the world-famous White Pass and Yukon Railroad and then visit a historic gold-rush camp and visit cabins and tents that were once used as a bakery and a saloon.
- Take a helicopter to the Valley of the Glaciers and hike across this huge sheet of ice while a guide points out crevasses and other features.
Juneau AK, United States
Day5
About Juneau
Juneau, Alaska’s remote capital, sits in the state’s panhandle, at the base of 3,819-ft. Mount Roberts. It’s a popular cruise-ship stop, reachable only by boat or seaplane. A tram carries visitors 1,800 feet up Mount Roberts to an alpine area with hiking trails, wildflowers and views of Gastineau Channel.
Activities in Juneau
- Relive Juneau's gold-rush history and pan for gold in the authentic setting of Gold Creek.
- Fly in a floatplane over five breathtaking glaciers to the Taku Glacier Lodge.>
- Take a fully narrated helicopter flight over four translucent glaciers within the Juneau Ice Field. Soar past towering peaks and picturesque alpine lakes on this exciting adventure.
- Explore Juneau on foot. With more trails than roads, Alaska's capital features world-class hiking - through glacial waterfalls and the largest temperate rainforest in the state.
- On Auke Bay, take a high-speed catamaran ride specifically designed for wildlife-watching. The bay is rich with humpback and killer whales, sea lions, and porpoises.
Ketchikan AK, United States
Day6
About Ketchikan
Ketchikan was originally founded as a Native American fishery before growing during the 1898 Gold Rush to the Klondike. Much of the town's colorful past is still evident, both in the city center and especially in the nearby Native American villages, where visitors will be enchanted by colorfully carved totem poles and the fascinating legends that surround them.
Activities in Ketchikan
- Experience the sheer granite cliffs, plunging 1,000-foot waterfalls, crystalline lakes and low-hanging mists of Misty Fjords from the air on a seaplane.
- Visit the Totem Heritage Center and explore the history of these cultural icons which can also be found throughout the city.
- Stroll through the town and shop for local crafts and jewelry before having lunch at one of Ketchikan's classic cafes.
Cruising Inside Passage
Day7
Vancouver BC, Canada
Day8
About Vancouver
Most of Canada's imports from and exports to the Orient and Australia pass through Vancouver, Canada's gateway to the Pacific. From the harbor entrance, spot the Lion's Gate, made up of twin mountain peaks closely resembling crouching lions. Visitors enjoy discovering this cosmopolitan city, from the shops of Robson Street to historic Gastown.
