Vancouver and Alaska Cruise
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime Vancouver and Alaska cruise—an 9-night journey filled with awe-inspiring landscapes, rich culture, and unforgettable moments at sea.
Your adventure begins in the stunning coastal city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Nestled between mountain peaks and the Pacific Ocean, this vibrant gateway offers the perfect starting point for your cruise. As the ship departs, you’ll sail into the wild beauty of the Inside Passage, a renowned coastal route known for its calm waters and spectacular views of forested fjords, snow-capped mountains, and remote islands. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles, sea otters, and even humpback whales as you cruise through this unspoiled wilderness.
Your first port of call is Icy Strait Point, Alaska, a destination that truly captures the spirit of the Last Frontier. Surrounded by rugged wilderness and steeped in Native Tlingit heritage, Icy Strait Point offers a perfect blend of cultural discovery and outdoor adventure. Whether you’re ziplining above the treetops, spotting bears and whales, or learning about the local traditions in the restored cannery museum, this stop delivers a raw and authentic Alaskan experience.
Next, prepare for a day of pure wonder as your ship navigates past the massive ice formations of the Hubbard Glacier—one of Alaska’s most dramatic natural wonders. As you cruise along this dynamic glacier, listen for the powerful cracking of calving ice and marvel at the electric-blue hues of the glacier’s face. This is Alaska at its most powerful and pristine—a moment of pure awe you’ll never forget.
The journey continues to Juneau, Alaska’s scenic capital, accessible only by sea or air. Surrounded by mountains, glaciers, and waterways, Juneau is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Take a thrilling helicopter ride to Mendenhall Glacier, explore the vibrant downtown filled with local shops and seafood eateries, or hike through the rainforest to a breathtaking overlook. Whether you’re craving outdoor exploration or cultural encounters, Juneau has it all.
From there, cruise on to the historic town of Ketchikan, often referred to as the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Known for its colorful waterfront, totem pole heritage, and welcoming atmosphere, Ketchikan is a fascinating blend of Indigenous culture and frontier charm. Stroll along Creek Street, watch for salmon swimming upstream, or explore nearby Misty Fjords National Monument—a dramatic wilderness area filled with sheer cliffs and cascading waterfalls.
As your voyage begins to wind down, you’ll once again cruise the Inside Passage, giving you one last opportunity to soak in the peaceful grandeur of Alaska’s coastal scenery. Snap photos of the changing light on the water, enjoy wildlife sightings from the deck, and reflect on the incredible places you’ve explored.
Your Vancouver and Alaska cruise concludes back in Vancouver, where modern sophistication meets natural beauty. Whether you’re extending your stay or heading home, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to the wild, majestic landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.
Throughout the journey, your time onboard is just as memorable as the destinations themselves. Enjoy the elegance and comfort of your ship, where world-class dining, entertainment, wellness experiences, and breathtaking ocean views are all part of the experience. From cozy evenings watching the sunset to exciting excursions in remote Alaskan towns, every moment is curated for exploration, relaxation, and wonder.
This Vancouver and Alaska cruise is more than a holiday—it’s an adventure into the heart of North America’s last great wilderness, where nature, culture, and comfort come together in perfect harmony.
