Inclusions
Voyage Itinerary
This voyage packs a lot of adventure into just eight days. From Vancouver, sail the Inside Passage, a showcase of glacier-capped mountains, winding fjords, small islands and native wildlife. In Ketchikan, take a walking tour of the historic old town, learn about totem poles, or visit nearby Tongass National Forest and beautiful Misty Fjords—and thanks to a late stay, you won’t have to choose! Next stop is Wrangell, one of Alaska’s oldest towns. Play archaeologist and examine primitive rock carvings dating back over 1,000 years, or set out on a day trip to Anan Wildlife Observatory. In beautiful Sitka you’ll find an onion-domed Cathedral and authentic 18th-century architecture. The big ships don’t dock here, so you can enjoy an uncrowded experience.
You’ll have a late stay in Juneau, Alaska’s capital, with opportunities for dog sledding, or a canoe ride to Mendenhall Glacier. Enjoy more scenic sailing to Icy Strait Point and beyond to blue-lit Hubbard Glacier, where you’ll be close enough to hear crashing booms of calving ice.
The only thing rising higher than the Vancouver skyline is its snow-capped mountains. In Vancouver, you can experience summer and winter on the same day! Start with a morning on the slopes at one of the nearby ski hills, then hit the beach for an afternoon relaxing by the water. After, try some delicious meals from all around the world and discover why Vancouver is the culinary capital of Canada.
Spend the day sailing in style aboard your boutique hotel at sea. Indulge in a treatment at Sanctum Spa, stay ship shape with a class at our fitness center, or lounge the day away on our sunny pool deck.
In the evening, savor inspired Italian cuisine at Aqualina, or relish in a classic steakhouse experience at Prime C. Plus, you’ll find plenty of exciting evening entertainment, from thrilling shows at Cabaret Lounge to intimate performances in the Living Room.
Surrounded by lakes, rivers, and streams, the “Salmon Capital of the World” is an angler’s paradise. Hop on a charter and keep an eye out for Ketchikan’s other marine residents like orca and humpback whales, seals, and porpoises. Hike Married Man’s Trail, kayak the Misty Fjords, visit the Totem Heritage Center, and stroll Creek Street for quaint restaurants, bars, gift shops, and scenic views.
Tucked away in the heart of the Inside Passage lies one of Alaska’s oldest towns. From the native Tlingit people through Russian, British, and American occupation, the town’s history is as rich as its natural beauty is breathtaking. Mountains, islands, rainforests, glaciers are all begging to be explored in a place where outdoor adventure is as abundant as glittering gold nuggets once were.
A walk around the city’s downtown brings you closer to its history with views of the Blockhouse, Russian Bishop’s House, St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Cathedral, and the storied Castle Hill. Visit the Fortress of the Bear and the Alaska Raptor Center to get an up-close look at orphaned brown bear cubs, injured bald eagles, and other birds, and learn about both centers’ commitment to serving Alaska’s wildlife.
Stretching from the Juneau Icefield to the waterfront downtown, Juneau is a treasure trove of sights. Dig into the city’s gold mining history at Juneau Douglas City Museum, stroll down Historic South Franklin Street, go whale or iceberg watching, tour Mendenhall Glacier and the Tongass National Forest, or board the Mount Roberts Tramway for great dining, shopping, and easy access to hiking trails.
Icy Strait Point is built on the site of a salmon cannery. The restored outbuildings now house a variety of restaurants, a museum, and local arts and crafts shops. The port is a cultural hub for the original inhabitants of the area—the Huna people. Enjoy an array of activities indigenous to the area including native dance performances, brown bear viewings, whale watching, fishing, birding, and hiking.
Named after National Geographic’s first society president, Gardiner Hubbard, this frosty-blue glacier is a sight unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The longest ice river in North America, this 76-mile stretch of glacier water meanders its way through Alaska to the Russell Fjord Wilderness. Witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon from onboard, while keeping an eye out for whales, harbor seals, and otters.
Travel to the Kenai Fjords National Park to hike or ski amongst its beautiful mountains. Kayak the tide pools along the fjords, and explore the Exit Glacier while mushing your own dog sledding team. Tour the rich waters of Resurrection Bay, join local anglers to fish for Coho salmon and halibut. Shaped by time, earthquakes, and ocean storms, Seward’s unfolding beauty is yours to explore.
Post-Voyage Land and Sea Packages
Start your land adventure with a walk on the wild side at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, then arrive at Hotel Alyeska where you’ll spend the evening. This lush valley is breathtaking from every angle, especially at the summit of Mount Alyeska, where you’ll soak in views of sweeping forests and hanging glaciers. In the historic community of Palmer, learn how settlers transformed this land into a thriving farming community. Spend the night in Denali National Park and prepare for a day of incredible exploration. Trek deep in to the park and explore the untamed wilds of the Last Frontier. Next it’s on to Talkeetna, where true rustic Alaskan charm is on full display. Take some time in town before your ride to Anchorage aboard the glass-domed Wilderness Express train. Enjoy a taste of city life before returning home.
Depart the port for the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. This 200-acre sanctuary was created for orphaned and injured animals that no longer have the ability to survive in the unforgiving wilderness. Witness grizzlies, coyotes, bison and other animals show off their “wild sides” in their protected and permanent home. Afterwards, check into the Hotel Alyeska, nestled in a valley between mountains, glaciers and the ocean. Take the aerial tram to a viewpoint 2,300 feet overhead and soak up panoramas dominated by the Chugach Mountains, the Turnagain Arm, hanging glaciers and spruce forests. Come evening, relax or take advantage of optional activities.
Awake to breakfast at the hotel before traveling to the historic community of Palmer, a small town born out of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression. Here, you’ll enjoy a fascinating presentation about local farming and the various types of produce grown in Southcentral Alaska. Learn about the down-on-their luck people who first colonized Palmer in 1935, and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before setting off for the unspoiled reaches of Denali National Park. Arrive at your hotel and enjoy a good night’s sleep in advance of a big day come morning.
Rise and shine to a hearty breakfast in preparation for a full-day tour of Denali National Park. This jaw-dropping setting features 6 million acres of interior Alaskan wilderness, crowned by the 20,310-foot-high Denali, formerly recognized by the United States as Mount McKinley. Explore the untamed wilds where you might spot grizzlies, moose, caribou, wolves and eagles. Reach the Eielson Visitors Center, high in the bluffs, for majestic views of Denali rising to the southwest. A box lunch is included during your expedition. In the evening, enjoy some downtime, or, if you’re still feeling energized, join one of the optional activities.
Enjoy breakfast followed by some time to further explore Denali on your own. Go for a short hike. Find a few new photo opportunities. Or, simply relax and take in the grandeur. By late morning, you’ll be on your way to Talkeetna, a tiny community set in the shadows of the Alaska Range. Do a little exploring before boarding the Wilderness Express for the ride back to Anchorage. Relax in a domed railcar, take in 360º views of the rugged territory, and savor a scrumptious dinner on board. Arrive in Anchorage and settle into your hotel room for the night.
Wake up to a great breakfast at the hotel. Recap your journey and marvel at all the additional memories you’ll go home with compliments of this post-cruise extension. Afterwards, a short drive will drop you off at Anchorage Airport with plenty of time to catch your outbound flight.
