Northward from Vancouver to Alaskan Coasts
Embark from Vancouver to sail the storied Inside Passage, with cliff faces and dramatic scenery seemingly near enough to touch. Arrive in Ketchikan and explore the city’s impressive array of totem poles from the First Nations, then continue to Sitka, where a naturalist-led Zodiac boat excursion provides you with a rare vantage point for wildlife and glacial ice. Marvel at the birdlife in Haines’ Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve and hike secluded trails for 360-degree views in Tongass National Forest, near Icy Strait Point. Enjoy a day sailing past iconic scenery from your private terrace en route to Valdez, where you can view Harvard Glacier. Seward, with its vibrant fishing culture and plentiful population of black and brown bears, makes for an appropriately Alaskan last stop on your journey back to Whittier.
