Serenity in Alaska's Wilds

Majestic Glaciers | Remarkable Wildlife Sightings | Authentic Culinary Experiences

This epic voyage hugs the Pacific Coast of North America as we sail through a landscape of forested islands, great glaciers, and dramatic fjords. Leaving Vancouver, we travel along the Seymour Narrows to Ketchikan, where many of the buildings balance on stilts over the water. Icy Strait Point is next, a former salmon cannery dedicated to the thrills and spills of outdoor activities, including the world's largest ziprider, while mountain-ringed Haines brings more opportunities to explore the wilderness. Now comes a breathtaking spectacle as we cruise past the Hubbard Glacier, which calves great chunks of ice into the sea. In Sitka, the onion-shaped dome on St. Michael's hints at the town's Russian heritage, Klawock brings more big nature in the Misty Fjords National Park, and in Wrangell, home to the Tlingit people, you can see 8,000-year-old rock paintings. A relaxing sea day follows, taking us through this incredible landscape to Victoria and back to Vancouver.
