Day 1

Vancouver, British Columbia , Canada

Friday, 28/07/2028

🚢 Departs 17:00

Surrounded by mountains, vibrant Vancouver is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and cosmopolitan adventurers alike. Meandering oceanside pathways surround eclectic neighbourhoods – Stanley Park, the West End, Gastown, Yaletown, Chinatown. A major global city, it is renowned for its cultural diversity and thriving art, theatre, music and food scenes. Its perfectly picturesque setting makes it popular filming location – with old-growth cedar forests, mountains covering 75% and two-thirds of Canada's bird species and land mammals. A big, bustling city perched on the edge of wilderness.

Vancouver, British Columbia

Day 3

Ketchikan, Alaska , United States

Sunday, 30/07/2028

⚓ Arrives 08:00 🚢 Departs 18:00

Kichx̱áan, as the First People named her, fuses the largest collection of authentic totem poles with outrageous outdoor adventures. Cast for salmon and cook your catch at a wilderness campsite; cycle rainforests; paddle in calm waters to meet the locals: harbour seals, humpback whales, and bald eagles. Scout remote coves to witness bears, orcas and to smell, touch, and truly feel the beauty of the forest.

Ketchikan, Alaska

Day 4

Klawock, Alaska , United States

Monday, 31/07/2028

⚓ Arrives 08:00 🚢 Departs 18:00

Klawock is a city in Prince of Wales–Hyder Census Area, in the U.S. state of Alaska, on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, on Klawock Inlet, across from Klawock Island. The population was 755 at the 2010 census, down from 854 in 2000.

Klawock, Alaska

Day 5

Sitka, Alaska , United States

Tuesday, 01/08/2028

⚓ Arrives 08:00 🚢 Departs 17:00

Lace up your hiking shoes for Sitka won't let you down. A true wilderness of volcanoes, mountain forests, islands and glaciers. Fishing is famous; whale and wildlife sightings epic; stories of battles between Russian fur traders and Tlingit are legendary. Thrills that go beyond: flight-seeing Mount Edgecumbe; kayak Sitka Sound; hike former WWII installations; step inside the Fortress of Bears; and find peace in the blue-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral.

Sitka, Alaska

Day 6

Cruising by Hubbard Glacier, Alaska

Wednesday, 02/08/2028

⚓ Arrives 09:00 🚢 Departs 13:00

Massive and magical, Hubbard is considered the mother-of-all tidewater glaciers in North America. Taller than a 30-storey building (above water). Larger than the state of Rhode Island. The marvel is also the most active, with ice chunks regularly sloughing off in massive dimensions. The thunderous roar of cracking ice echoes against a stellar backdrop with five of the ten tallest peaks in America. The most magical moment you’ll ever enjoy on deck.

Day 7

Valdez, Alaska , United States

Thursday, 03/08/2028

⚓ Arrives 08:00 🚢 Departs 18:00

Witness five glaciers — Valdez, Shoup, Columbia, Meares, Worthington — as they spill their loads of ice directly into super-scenic Prince William Sound. The encircling mountains and thundering waterfalls give this tiny town the moniker of the “Switzerland of Alaska”. Walk trails that disappear into lush forests; paddle alongside Puffins; go with the flow whilst rafting the chalky blue Lowe River, Valdez has it all. Bears, Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans, even Rufous Hummingbirds from as far away as Mexico all flock here.

Valdez, Alaska

Day 8

Seward, Alaska , United States

Friday, 04/08/2028

⚓ Arrives 08:00

It is hard to believe that a place as beautiful as Seward exists. Surrounded on all sides by Kenai Fjords National Park, Chugach National Forest, and Resurrection Bay, Seward offers all the quaint realities of a small railroad town with the bonus of jaw-dropping scenery. This little town of about 2,750 citizens was founded in 1903, when survey crews arrived at the ice-free port and began planning a railroad to the Interior. Since its inception, Seward has relied heavily on tourism and commercial fishing. It is also the launching point for excursions into Kenai Fjords National Park, where it is quite common to see marine life and calving glaciers.
