The Itinerary: Port-by-Port Highlights

This 9-day journey includes a one-night stay in Anchorage, plus 7 nights on board with stops at world-class destinations.

🏔️ Anchorage, Alaska (August 30–31)

Spend the night in Alaska’s largest city before embarking. Explore the Anchorage Museum, local markets, or enjoy a stroll along the scenic Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.

🚢 Whittier & Hubbard Glacier (August 31–Sept 1)

Depart Whittier and sail toward the Hubbard Glacier, the longest tidewater glacier in North America. Witness towering blue ice calve dramatically into the sea—a moment you’ll never forget. Bring your camera and a warm jacket for this glacial day at sea.

🐋 Icy Strait Point (September 2)

An authentic Alaska Native-owned destination near Hoonah, Icy Strait is home to some of the best whale watching, zip-lining, and nature trails in the state. It's less commercialized, offering a raw and breathtaking look at Alaska’s wilderness.

🦅 Juneau (September 3)

Alaska’s capital is only accessible by air or sea, and it’s teeming with charm. Options include a trip to the iconic Mendenhall Glacier, dog sledding, or riding the Mount Roberts Tramway for sweeping views.

⛏️ Skagway (September 4)

Step back into the Gold Rush era in Skagway. Ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, visit historic saloons, or hike the trails that fortune-seekers once followed. It’s a step into living history.

🌲 Ketchikan (September 5)

Known as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” Ketchikan offers wildlife sightings, Native totem pole parks, and floatplane excursions over Misty Fjords. Don’t miss Creek Street, the historic boardwalk built over water.

🌊 Inside Passage Cruising (September 6)

Your final full day is spent cruising the Inside Passage, one of the most scenic routes in the world. Towering cliffs, waterfalls, forested islands, and possible sightings of orcas, seals, and bald eagles make this a picture-perfect finale.

🇨🇦 Vancouver, British Columbia (September 7)

Disembark in Vancouver, where you may wish to extend your stay and explore Stanley Park, Granville Island, or the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
