Day 1: Anchorage
Kenai Fjords National Park, Resurrection Bay, the SeaLife Center research aquarium, not to mention the charm of the town itself, all conspire to make Seward one of the most appealing destinations in Alaska. You might paddle a kayak on the lookout for sea otters, hike one of the many beautiful hiking trails near town, embark on a fishing expedition or ride a wheeled sled pulled by a team of 12 spry and intelligent dogs.
Day 2: Cruising College Fjord
Days at sea can be spent relaxing or joining on-board activities. Visit the Solarium, the spa or the fitness centre, indulge at the boutique stores or sit in on an informative presentation by the Expedition Team.
Day 3: Kayak Island
Commissioned by Empress Anna of Russia to search for a land bridge between Asia and America, the Danish officer Vitus Bering set out on the Great Northern Expedition, making his first North American landfall on Kayak Island in 1741. Located just four miles from the mainland at the edge of Chugach National Forest, the solitary Bering Expedition Landing Site is covered by dense rainforest. At its southern point, Cape St. Elias Lighthouse looks out over the Gulf of Alaska, a National Historic Landmark.
Day 4: Cruising Icy Bay & Hubbard Glacier
This enormous, stunning glacier is best viewed from the sea. The ice on Hubbard Glacier fell as snow centuries ago; compressed by its own tremendous weight, it flows seaward. Large chunks of ice regularly break off in a process called calving. And in the summer, rare humpback whales come to these waters to feed, with luck, you’ll see one of these gentle giants. Note: Subject to permit specifications/approvals. As such, the order of ports and/or cruise itinerary are subject to change at any time.
Day 5: Cruise Cross Sound & Icy Strait
Days at sea can be spent relaxing or joining on-board activities. Visit the Solarium, the spa or the fitness centre, indulge at the boutique stores or sit in on an informative presentation by the Expedition Team.
Day 6: Juneau
This Gold Rush city is not only the capital of Alaska, but an epicenter of Alaskan history, culture, music, and food. Here, enjoy endless attractions, activities, and unimaginable glaciers, only accessible by air or sea.
Day 7-8: Cruising Tracy Arm & Endicott Arm - Kake
The largest totem pole in the world is located in Kake — at least according to the locals. Carved from a single tree, the 132-foot landmark overlooks a settlement of about 500 residents. Nestled in the Tongass National Forest and blessed with breathtaking scenery, the settlement is the historic home of the Kake tribe of Tinglits (“People of the Tides”). Villagers retain many of their Tlingit traditions and continue their subsistence-based lifestyle through hunting, fishing and lumbering.
Day 9: Ketchikan
Paddle a kayak on sheltered waters, take a floatplane to a remote mountain lake or try your hand at sportfishing in Ketchikan, salmon capital of the world and a paradise for fishermen and nature-lovers alike. A quiet city with rich Indian heritage, it hosts the world's largest collection of authentic totem poles at Totem Bight as well as a rustic boardwalk, quaint restaurants perched on stilts above the water, and scores of fascinating shops and spectacular views from every vantage point.
Day 10: Cruising Misty Fjord
Enjoy unparalleled magnificence as you sail through the Misty Fjords National Monument; a two-million-acre wilderness of twisting fjords, crystalline lakes, plunging 1,000 foot waterfalls and granite cliffs rising above the sea. Take a moment on deck to absorb the silence, serenity and exquisite natural beauty that surrounds you.
Day 11: Cruising Grenville Channel & Princess Royal Channel
Days at sea can be spent relaxing or joining on-board activities. Visit the Solarium, the spa or the fitness centre, indulge at the boutique stores or sit in on an informative presentation by the Expedition Team.
Day 12: Albert Bay - Cruising Johnstone Strait & Seymour Narrows
Tucked in the Queen Charlotte Strait off British Columbia's west coast, in Canada, lies the tiny village of Alert Bay on Cormorant Island. Home to the Namgis First Nation, the town features an array of totem poles, including what may be the world's tallest. The U'mista, a local cultural center, is devoted to preserving masks and other important artifacts of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw. Nearby Robson Bight Ecological Reserve is a protected area for the world's largest concentration of orca whales.
Day 13: Vancouver
Arriving in the morning, discover the vibrancy of this British Columbia cosmopolitan. Vancouver has eclectic neighbors to explore, exquisite seafood, and the largest natural park in North America.
