Featured Ports and Scenic Cruising

Glacier Bay National Park
Marvel at nature's unrelenting power as you witness the birth of massive icebergs calving from gigantic glaciers. Glacier Bay National Park has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anywhere else on earth. As a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park also protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals. Search for humpback and killer whales, Stellar sea lions and harbor seals and eagles.

Inside Passage, scenic cruising
Stretching between Vancouver, British Columbia and Juneau Alaska, the Inside Passage is an intercoastal waterway consisting of thousands of islands, coves and bays. Cruise past serene island communities accessible only by boat or seaplane. Pass fishing boats in search of salmon, shrimp or crab. Watch eagles soar, Dall porpoise leap and killer whales break the surface and resubmerge.

Juneau, Alaska
Surrounded by dark blue waters, deep green forests and majestic mountains, Juneau is one of America's most beautiful state capitals. Explore Juneau's gold mining past, fly over Mendenhall Glacier or spend a pleasant day exploring curio shops and art galleries. Sample excursions: Photo Safari by Land & Sea; Fly-Out Fly Fishing Adventure.

Ketchikan, Alaska
Founded as a fishing camp, Ketchikan still looks and feels like a 19th century frontier town. Just three miles long and three blocks wide, much of Ketchikan is built over the water with buildings supported by piles. Sample excursions: Neets Bay Bear Watch by Floatplane; Wilderness Exploration & Crab Feed; Harley Davidson Motorcycle Tour.

Skagway, Alaska
In 1896 gold was discovered in the Klondike and Skagway instantly became a boom town supplying hopeful miners for the arduous journey to the gold fields. Today, Skagway has preserved more than 100 buildings from the gold rush era and serves as a fascinating link to Alaska's history. Sample excursions: Haines Wildlife River Adventure; Ghosts & Goodtime Girls - A Walking Tour of Historic Skagway.
