Itinerary

1. 1

   Seattle, Washington, US

   As the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle offers plenty for passengers to explore, from the iconic Space Needle to the bustling waterfront and museums celebrating pop culture, art, and science.

2. 2

   Scenic cruising Nootka Sound

   This historic waterway on Vancouver Island offers unmatched opportunities to spot humpback whales, sea otters, and bald eagles against a backdrop of mist-shrouded peaks. It is a deeply storied region where rich Nuu-chah-nulth indigenous culture meets the wild, untouched edge of the Pacific Ocean.

5. 5

   Kodiak, Alaska, US

   Known as the "Emerald Isle," Kodiak offers cruise guests a blend of raw wildlife, Russian-American history, and rich Alutiiq culture. Framed by lush, mist-shrouded mountains, it is home to the world's largest commercial fishing fleet and the famous giant Kodiak brown bear. Visitors can explore historic WWII bunkers at Fort Abercrombie, see indigenous art at the Alutiiq Museum, or taste fresh wild salmon at the harbor.

6. 6

   Anchorage, Alaska, US

   With its national parks, scenic trails, and abundant wildlife, from city moose to majestic whales, Anchorage is a must-visit. Experience the Northern Lights, savour local cuisine, and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture. 

7. 7

   Day At Sea

8. 8

9. 9

   Cruising Hubbard Glacier

   Come face-to-face with North America’s largest tidewater glacier, a colossal wall of ice towering up to 40 stories high. Unlike most glaciers, this massive frozen river is actively advancing, creating a dramatic sensory experience as towering ice chunks calve into the pristine waters below with a thunderous roar. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it offers a front-row seat to one of the most dynamic and breathtaking natural wonders in Alaska.

10. 10

    Juneau, Alaska, US

    The sleepy, misty city of around 32,000, mostly fishermen and small-business owners, has a frontier town vibe, but welcomes more than a million visitors each summer to its natural attractions, cementing Juneau as Alaska’s number-one tourist destination. Experience this breathtaking city on an Alaska cruise.

11. 11

    Icy Strait Point, Alaska, US

    Just opposite Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point stretches for a few hundred metres along the beach; the old wooden buildings, bright red in the endless green of the Tongass, now offer a museum and a cannery demo. But more interesting is simply the madness of scale. Icy Strait Point gives a chance to look into history to see where Alaska’s money came from, all in a ghost town of millions of fish.

12. 12

    Misty Fjords, US

    Sculpted by glaciers over millions of years, Misty Fjords’ u-shaped “canals” wind through steep canyons of granite, shrouded in western hemlock, Sitka spruce and western red cedar. Misty Fjords is a part of Tongass National Forest and home to grizzlies, salmon, whales, mountain goats and deer.

13. 13

    Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada

    This charming port on the secluded Kaien Island in British Columbia is nestled among jaw-dropping scenery - vast forest, wide rivers and abundant wildlife. For a smaller city, Prince Rupert has big personality with a plethora of shops, seafood restaurants, a fish market and a museum featuring a large collection of Tsimshian art and artifacts.

14. 14

    Day At Sea

15. 15

    Seattle, Washington, US
