Voyage Itinerary
This convenient Vancouver roundtrip pairs Pacific Northwest city life with Alaska’s spectacular scenery. You’ve got two days to experience buzzing, beautiful Seattle, where you can eat, shop and soak up the local vibe at Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square and Seattle’s famous music clubs. Then we sail to Alaska’s Inside Passage with views of glaciers, peaceful fjords and native wildlife. Visit Sitka, where you’ll find authentic 18th-century architecture set in stunning natural beauty. In Ketchikan, take a historic walking tour, learn about totem poles, or visit Tongass National Forest and beautiful Misty Fjords. You’ll have a late stay in Juneau, Alaska’s capital, with many options for town touring and hiking, dog sledding, or a canoe trip to Mendenhall Glacier. Skagway is all about the Alaskan gold rush; don’t miss a hair-raising ride on the historic White Pass narrow-gauge railway. Most cruise ships don’t stop at Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, but we do. Discover a spectacular waterfront park and welcoming pubs, or venture inland to explore more of Vancouver Island before your journey into Canada’s interior aboard Rocky Mountaineer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Take in historic sites like the storied Red Onion Saloon, the yellow-domed Golden North Hotel, and the decidedly rustic Arctic Brotherhood Hall. For a more detailed account, head to the Corrington Museum of Alaska History and the Skagway Museum to see every aspect of local history from mastodon fossils and native handwoven baskets to the pistol of Skagway’s official bad boy, Soapy Smith.
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.
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.
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.
Natural oceanside beauty, stunning English architecture, and international flavors abound in Victoria. Take a whale watching tour on the Salish Sea to get up close with breathtaking orcas, humpbacks, and more. History buffs must visit the Royal BC Museum to discover Victoria’s colonial past and see the amazing wooly mammoth exhibit. After, stroll Canada’s oldest Chinatown for a delicious meal.
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.

The natural wonder of the Rockies is waiting for you. Tour the stunning Icefields Parkway with its sweeping valleys, brilliantly blue lakes, and sky-scraping mountains. Drive over a 10,000-year-old glacier on the all-terrain Ice Explorer and experience a pristine world of ice and snow. Next it’s on to the crown jewel of the Rockies—the Fairmont Chateau at Lake Louise. Relax at this incredible mountain resort or hike along the turquoise glacier-fed lake before returning to Banff for the night.
From Banff, board a comfortable motor coach and blaze a trail to the frontier city of Calgary. Along the way, Canada’s rugged landscapes unfold at every turn. Feel the spray of the rushing Bow Falls, see six stunning mountain ranges from the top of Sulphur Mountain, and experience the otherworldly rock formations of the Hoodoos. Spend the night in fun, friendly Calgary at the landmark Fairmont Palliser and channel your inner cowboy.
