Highlights
- Soul. Stirring. You sail into the mystic, exploring the full breadth of the Inside Passage; an immersive experience that is sculpted by a filigree of fjords, rivers of jagged ice, and forested islands scattered like jigsaw pieces across cobalt bays. Mendenhall Glacier, Misty Fjord, Tracy Arm Fjord — ephemeral hallmarks that burn in your conscience as part of your life’s story.
- In a symphony of serendipitous light, Ketchikan appears on the horizon like a vision. Hike, bike, paddle, trek wildlife or board a seaplane to soar across the Tongass National Forest.
- Breathe in the rarefied air of the snow-capped mountains of Juneau where the magnificent Mendenhall Glacier is cradled.
- Deeper into winding narrows, sea otters and dolphins escort us into Sitka, where Alaska Native and Russian history still reign.
- Rise early for the stunning journey into the Lynn Canal where the mountains are higher, the vistas more dramatic, and the glaciers impossibly gigantic.
- Your reward is found in Skagway, where pioneers once rushed for gold in the mountain passes of Yukon and Klondike. Hop a narrow-gauge train or helicopter to find moonscapes above the alpine tree line.
- Anticipation builds in Icy Strait Point but nothing can prepare you for plying both Misty Fjord and Tracy Arm Fjord. Each a dizzying display of energy: waterfalls plummet in a thunderous roar; granite cliffs thrust skyward more than 3,000 feet; icebergs towering overhead; and sea life lunges, breaches, and twirls at Sea level.
- Boundless views focus your attention more deeply on the beauty as you venture to Victoria then cross the island-dotted bay that culminates our journey in the capital of creativity, Vancouver.
