If you are planning to arrive early for your cruise, make sure to head to one of the local farmer’s markets to enjoy all of the fresh and amazing cuisine that Canada has to offer!
Day 2 – Inside Passage (At sea)
Here you’ll maneuver harmonious waters, curtained between the British Columbia mainland and Vancouver Island. Catch a glimpse of astonishingly rugged scenery along the way, plus wildlife like salmon sharks, white spirit bears, and millions of seabirds.
Day 3 – Ketchikan, Alaska
Arrive 6:00 am - Depart: 4:00 pm
Nicknamed the canned salmon capital of the world, Ketchikan is prosperous in both fishing and culture. You’ll find more totem poles here than anywhere else in the world, and a Native spirit kept alive by three tribes of Northwest Coastal People.
Day 4 – Icy Strait Point, Alaska
Arrive 9:00 am - Depart 6:00 pm
If you are ready for an adventure, you will love hanging out in Icy Strait Point. Go whale watching in Point Adolphus or sea lion spotting in Glacier Bay National Park. You can also gear up to go soaring over mountain forests on the world’s longest zip line.
Day 5 – Juneau, Alaska
Arrive 7:00 am - Depart 9:30 pm
Juneau is the largest U.S. state capital— and almost impossible to access except by air and sea. Once you arrive you’ll find adventure in every corner as you are surrounding by breathtaking views of the mountains, tundra and rainforests. Go dogsledding over Mendenhall Glacier, or prospecting along centuries-old mining trails. In Juneau, the possibilities are as endless as the surrounding wilderness.
Day 6 – Skagway, Alaska
Skagway has served as an outpost for thrilling Alaskan adventure, dating back to the 1800’s in its Klondike Gold Rush days. Experience an old-time street car ride along bustling Broadway Street where you might just catch a glimpse of historical reenactments. You can chose from tons of excursions from dog-sledding on Laughton Glacier to rafting Lynn Canal, the longest fjord in North America.
Day 7 – Hubbard Glacier, Alaska (At sea)
Arrive 9:00 am - Depart 11:00 am
Home to the largest tidewater glacier in North America, experience Hubbard Glacier, Alaska. You’ll get panoramic views of its gigantic expanse as you sail into Disenchantment Bay near the glacier’s 400-foot-tall face — Hubbard is a massive 76 miles long and 1,200 feet deep.
