Alaska’s Glacier Glory and Forested Fjords
Strike out from Vancouver on a glacier-rich route up to Whittier, beginning in the Inside Passage, whose magnificent scenery is punctuated with waterfalls and forested islands. Ketchikan’s colorful waterfront homes bid you a warm welcome to Southern Alaska, and Sitka offers a launch point for a naturalist-led Zodiac boat excursion that departs directly from the yacht. Take a guided hike of Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau and spot humpback whales and harbor seals frolicking in the inlets that frame Haines. Relax on your private terrace for a scenic sail past the Hubbard Glacier, whose icebergs commonly reach three or four stories high. Valdez is your gateway to view Harvard Glacier, one of Alaska’s last remaining advancing tidewater glaciers.
