Cruise Itinerary

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.

Day 2

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

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 5

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 6

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.
