Surrounded by the natural beauty of British Columbia and filled with all the things that make a city fun, Vancouver is an ideal jumping off point for an Alaskan cruise.
Upon leaving Vancouver, the route proceeds through the Inside Passage on a scenic and relaxing full day at sea.
Bordered by 1,500 square miles of icefields, untouched peaks, and the sweeping Gastineau Channel, Juneau is abundant in scenic wonders. Take a guided hiking or kayak tour to the Mendenhall Glacier or board a whale watching boat bound for nearby Stephens Passage.
Once the site of a salmon cannery, the redeveloped Icy Strait port is now a quaint grouping of colorful shops and boardwalks. Save time for the epic ZipRider. With a thrilling 1,300-foot overall drop from mountaintop to beach, it's the world's longest zipline.
On your next port call of the cruise, experience Native Alaskan culture and early Alaska history in the charming town of Sitka.
Located at the northernmost edge of the Inside Passage, Skagway gained rather rowdy notoriety as a launching point for gold rushers heading north to the Klondike in 1897. Take a tour to Dyea to hike a few miles of the famous Chilkoot Trail, and then enjoy a leisurely self-guided walk among downtown Skagway's many shops, cafes, and historical sites.
On this final day at sea, the route swings through Disenchantment Bay and up to the massive face of Hubbard Glacier. The tidewater glacier flows over 75 miles from the icefields around Mt. Logan in Canada's Yukon Territory.
The Hubbard Glacier Cruise Northbound route concludes in Seward, the misty coastal town at the end of Resurrection Bay and convenient jumping off point for an Alaskan land tour.
