Embark on an unforgettable journey through the pristine beauty of the Alaskan wilderness with our Alaska Cruise itinerary, starting in the vibrant city of Seattle. Before setting sail, indulge in a pre-cruise night in Seattle, where you can explore the iconic Pike Place Market, stroll along the picturesque waterfront, or enjoy a delicious seafood dinner at one of the city’s renowned restaurants. As you board the luxurious cruise ship, prepare to be mesmerized by the breathtaking scenery of the Inside Passage. Marvel at towering fjords, majestic glaciers, and lush forests as you sail through this stunning coastal route. Your first port of call is Ketchikan, known as the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Immerse yourself in the rich Native American culture of the Tlingit people, visit the historic Creek Street, or embark on a thrilling wildlife excursion to spot bald eagles and black bears. Next, venture into Juneau, Alaska’s charming capital city nestled between towering mountains and the shimmering waters of the Gastineau Channel. Explore the historic downtown area, take a scenic tram ride up Mount Roberts for panoramic views, or embark on an unforgettable whale-watching tour in search of humpback whales. In Skagway, step back in time to the Klondike Gold Rush era as you wander through the well-preserved streets of this frontier town. Visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, ride the famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, or embark on a thrilling dog sledding adventure on a glacier. Prepare to be awestruck as you cruise past the magnificent Hubbard Glacier, one of the most active glaciers in Alaska. Marvel at the towering ice walls and listen for the thunderous sound of calving ice as the ship navigates through the icy waters. Experience the rich history and cultural heritage of Sitka, a picturesque town surrounded by towering mountains and dense forests. Visit the iconic Russian Orthodox Cathedral, explore the fascinating Alaska Raptor Center, or kayak through the serene waters of Sitka Sound. As the cruise makes its way south, make a stop in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where British charm meets Pacific Coast beauty. Explore the exquisite Butchart Gardens, stroll along the scenic Inner Harbour, or indulge in a traditional British afternoon tea. Finally, return to Seattle, where your unforgettable Alaska Cruise comes to an end.
