Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Whittier

Day 2

Hubbard Glacier

Day 3

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.

Day 4

Skagway, Alaska

Skagway's history is steeped in the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 19th century, when it served as the gateway to the Yukon goldfields. In 1897, the discovery of gold in the Klondike drew thousands of fortune seekers, transforming Skagway from a small outpost to a bustling boomtown virtually overnight. It became a chaotic hub of activity, with prospectors flocking to its docks en route to the goldfields. Skagway's colorful past is preserved in its historic downtown, where visitors can stroll along wooden boardwalks and visit restored buildings that evoke the spirit of this storied era in Alaska's frontier history.

Day 5

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau, Alaska, is a prime destination for first-time visitors with its unique blend of stunning natural landscapes, rich history, and vibrant local culture. Nestled between the Gastineau Channel and the coastal mountains, Juneau offers easy access to breathtaking glaciers like the Mendenhall Glacier, where visitors can walk trails or kayak in iceberg-dotted waters. The city itself, accessible only by sea or air, exudes charm with its historic buildings, quaint shops, and seafood restaurants. Juneau also serves as a gateway to whale watching and dog sledding adventures, ensuring that every visitor experiences the thrill and majesty of Alaskas capital city.

Day 6

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.
