Day 4

Icy Strait Point, Alaska

Day 5

Hubbard Glacier

Today sees you cruise through the Hubbard Glacier, situated in eastern Alaska and part of Yukon Canada. The views here are sensational – the glacier regularly calves icebergs which can reach the size of a ten-storey building!

Day 6

Juneau

Juneau is a picturesque and active destination, as well as being the site of Alaska’s first major gold strike. Wildlife and whale-watching is a must here, so why not take a cruise where you can keep a lookout for a range of magnificent species? If seeing the imposing Mendenhall Glacier is on your wish list, there’s no better view than from a helicopter tour. Alternatively, you can take a step back in time and try your hand at gold panning.

Day 7

Ketchikan

The ‘salmon capital of the world’, as Ketchikan is known, is your departure point for an optional seaplane excursion today as you head for the nearby Misty Fjords National monument, a staggering 2.2 million acres of pristine wilderness! It’s also the home of Alaska’s Tlingit Indians and the largest collection of totem poles in the world – watch the tradition live on as you observe carvers at work and experience the elaborate ceremonies.

Day 8

Cruise the Inside Passage as you head back to Vancouver.

Day 9

Vancouver

Arrive back in Vancouver this morning, disembark the ship and make your way independently to Vancouver airport for your flight home. Alternatively, why not extend your stay in Vancouver or add on a few days in the charming city of Victoria for another taste of life in British Columbia.
