Ports of Call
Seattle, Washington
Famously rainy and picturesque, Seattle sits on Puget Sound against a spectacular mountain backdrop. Soak up the city's scene in one the many coffeehouses or head down to the lively Pike Place Market to feast on artisanal and local foods. A trip to Seattle isn't complete without visiting Pike Place Market, where you can browse the stalls of local merchants and artists, take in a street performance, or watch fishmongers play catch with the catch of the day.
Ketchikan, Alaska
Set at the southernmost entrance of Alaska's famed Inside Passage, Ketchikan is truly the beginning of the last frontier. Ketchikan is known as the "Salmon Capital of the World." It is also a photographer's dream due to the beauty of the Misty Fjords National Monument, and the Tongass National Forest.
Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier
Alaska’s Endicott Arm Fjord marks the southern edge of the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness area. As you sail through its 30-mile-long stretch, you can’t help but be amazed by the untouched beauty of the surrounding granite mountains, verdant valleys, and numerous waterfalls. Drifting icebergs, deep blue waters, and a spectacular tidewater glacier only add to this natural spectacle’s appeal. Standing more than 600 feet tall and a half-mile wide, the Dawes Glacier is known for its spectacular calving displays, which noisily produce huge, chunky icebergs that float in area waters. Additionally, Endicott Arm is one of the largest breeding grounds for harbor seals on the planet.
Juneau, Alaska
Juneau, the capital of Alaska, was founded during a gold rush in 1880. Today, the former gold-mining town counts among its riches some of Alaska's most spectacular scenery. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Juneau in the Alaska Panhandle, it faces the water from the mainland side of Gastineau Channel. Several magnificent fjords are located along the channel coast, and the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, a favorite of visitors, is nearby.
Skagway, Alaska
When gold was discovered in the Klondike region of the Yukon Territory (just across the border from Alaska), it resulted in the historic Gold Rush of 1898. As thousands of gold-crazed adventurers sought the best starting point for their arduous trek, they found the deepest penetration possible by boat was at the northern tip of the Lynn Canal. This is how Skagway was born. Take the unforgettable journey aboard the "Scenic Railway of the World" and travel 20 miles from tidewater to the summit of the White Pass - a 2,865 foot elevation. Ride in vintage rail cars as you retrace the original route to the White Pass summit. Experience this unique railroad that symbolizes accomplishment in the adventure of pioneering - triumph over challenge.
Alaska Inside Passage
Have your camera ready to capture the rugged beauty of the islands and mainland coast of southern Alaska. The views include glaciers, fjords, soaring cliffs, and misty northern rainforest. The incredible landscape of the Inside Passage is home to diverse wildlife - orca, mountain goats, bald eagles, bears, puffins, sea otters, and more - but the superstars of the area are the gentle giants who feed here every summer. Keep an eye out for the awesome acrobatics of breaching humpback whales!
Victoria, British Columbia (Canada)
Located on the southern tip on the island of Vancouver in British Columbia, the city of Victoria is probably best known for its mild climate and active outdoor lifestyle. (In fact, the city has been named the "fittest city" in Canada more than once.) As the capital of British Columbia, the city is very tourist-friendly. Among the many attractions are world-famous gardens, its 150 years of British history, gourmet dining, and fantastic shopping. Also, be sure to visit the world-famous Butchart Gardens or the lush and exotic Butterfly Gardens and see how Victoria earned the nickname "The City of Gardens."
