01
|
Vancouver/Seattle
Vancouver is a dream-like mountain ringed city blessed with a huge natural harbor that remains ice-free year round. Wide open spaces, beautiful beaches, tall skyscrapers and an enchanting rainforest all mingle together to create a most relaxed and stress-free setting. Most folks come here to get away from it all, and enjoy fantastic cuisine, world-class entertainment, and unlimited shopping opportunities.
|
|
02
|
At Sea
Your choice of departure. All it takes to get the inside story of Alaska's beauty is a trip through the Inside Passage, Alaska's "water highway", where majestic fjords compete for your attention with mountain masterpieces carved by the glaciers. Small fishing villages along the coast dot breathtaking panoramas, and the protected waters are perfect for spotting wildlife
|
|
03
|
Ketchikan
A popular destination along Alaska's famed Inside Passage, Ketchikan is teeming with Native American culture. Home of the largest concentration of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people in the state this extraordinarily beautiful city on Revillagigedo Island boasts the world's largest collection of totem poles, and an equally impressive selection of museums and cultural centers featuring Native dance, carving and artifacts. Ketchikan's calm waters and surprisingly gentle climate make it a favorite of sports fishermen.
|
|
04
|
Juneau
Juneau, Alaska is considered by many to be the most beautiful capital city in the nation. Checking in at just a little over 3,100 square miles Juneau qualifies as the biggest American city - geographically, that is. The terrain is hilly and winding, and narrow streets present a small-town quaintness existing side-by-side with cosmopolitan sophistication. You'll find great shopping, fine restaurants and superb Museums.
|
|
05
|
Skagway
As your ship approaches Skagway, you'll see the town resting peacefully at the base of a river valley bordered by the Coast Mountains. The mountains, ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Once on land, the streets of Skagway draw you back over 100 years, when this idyllic Native fishing village was overrun by hordes of prospectors. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the Alaskan Gold Rush days.
|
|
06
|
Glacier Bay
Glacier Bay is the breathtaking crown jewel of Alaska's natural heritage. Cruise the Bay while National Park Service naturalists relate the history of this grand phenomenon. At the very northernmost point, you will approach very close to Margerie Glacier, as it pours from a remote pocket of British Columbia's mountains into Alaskan waters. Witness this wonderland as glacier calve ice into the sea around you. Watch for humpback whales, orcas, puffins and murres at the Marble Islands, mountain goats high on the cliffs, and harbor seals on the icebergs.
|
|
07
|
College Fjord
Located in South-Central Alaska, Prince William Sound is one of nature's grandest collections of jagged glaciers, offers millions of acres of fine saltwater beaches, protected coves, lush forests and numerous jewel-like lakes. The area is abundant in wildlife, including Dall sheep, mountain goats, bald eagles, sea otters and whales, just to name a few. College Fjord is a royal beauty for anyone visiting Alaska. Located just thirty miles west of Valdez, this enormous ice field, resplendent with sixteen tidewater glaciers, is a breathtaking landscape enclosed by steep walls of ice and mountains which rise from sea level to 10,000 feet.
