Cruise Itinerary

Day 1
Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver's allure as a cruise hub lies in its jaw-dropping natural landscape and handy position on Canada's west coast. Framed by snow-capped mountains and sparkling waters, the city's scenic harbor welcomes ships from around the world. Cruise enthusiasts are drawn to Vancouver for its seamless embarkation process and the opportunity to explore this cosmopolitan city before setting sail. With its blend of urban sophistication and outdoor adventures, Vancouver captivates visitors with its dynamic culture and picturesque surroundings, making it a must-visit destination for North American experiences.

Day 3
Ketchikan, Alaska
The area's history is steeped in the traditions of Alaska's indigenous Tlingit people and the thriving fishing and logging industries that shaped its development. Originally known as "Kitschk-hin," meaning "thundering wings of an eagle" in the Tlingit language, Ketchikan was a vital Tlingit settlement long before European settlers arrived. With the discovery of gold in nearby creeks, Ketchikan boomed during the late 19th century Gold Rush, attracting prospectors and entrepreneurs. Timber soon became the primary industry, and Ketchikan earned the title of the "Salmon Capital of the World" due to its bustling fish canneries. Today, Ketchikan's rich history is preserved in its historic buildings, totem poles, and vibrant cultural traditions.
Day 4
Klawock, Alaska
Day 5
Sitka, Alaska
Sitka is a hidden gem among cruise destinations, offering a unique blend of Tlingit culture, Russian history, and breathtaking natural beauty. This picturesque town, located on Baranof Island along the Pacific Ocean, captivates visitors with its blend of cultures visible in the onion domes of St. Michael's Cathedral and the traditional Tlingit totem poles scattered throughout the area. Sitka's natural surroundings are equally impressive, featuring volcanic Mount Edgecumbe and abundant wildlife that includes sea otters, bears, and eagles. With fewer tourists compared to other Alaskan ports, Sitka provides a more serene and intimate experience, making it a truly undiscovered treasure for cruise travelers.
Day 6
Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
Alaska's Glacier Bay is steeped in rich cultural history, primarily shaped by the Huna Tlingit people who have inhabited the region for centuries. The area, known for its dramatic glacial landscapes, was traditionally used by the Tlingit for hunting and fishing, deeply intertwined with their spiritual beliefs and practices. The bay's retreat in the late 18th century due to glacial movement forced the Tlingit to relocate, adding a poignant chapter to their history. Today, Glacier Bay is not only a hub for scientific study due to its rapidly changing environment but also a place where Tlingit heritage is honored and preserved through cultural programs and art.

A magical trip, in ultimate luxury, in the days when Myanmar was a highlighted overnighter, a super sampling of all the Far East and Middle East has to offer. Still a fantastic journey today without the Burma experience.

Wonderful journey and itinerary around Adriatic and Dalmation coast including Slovenia / Croatia / Montenegro / North Greece and East Italy. Ship was delightful. Staff, service, suite, food etc all excellent. Limited entertainment but that is not a problem to us. Ports of call were all interesting and enjoyable . Maybe could have done with an etxra sea day. Full marks to Seabourn and its team .
