Day 1 This vibrant, diverse British Columbia seaport is one of the jewels of Canada. Surrounded by ocean and mountains alike, Vancouver offers breathtaking vistas, not to mention world-class outdoor activities, culinary delights, fine art, and cultural events.

Must-see attractions in Vancouver include Stanley Park (such scenery!), Granville Island (shopping and art!), Capilano Suspension Bridge (such great heights!) and Vancouver Art Gallery (culture!).

The distinctive neighborhoods of this metropolis are meant to be explored. Coffee, boutiques, a dizzying array of restaurant options... Vancouver is everything a traveler could want in destination!
Day 2 This coastal route runs between the Gulf of Alaska and Puget Sound, and is a popular route for cruise ships. Cruise passengers can expect to see a breathtaking amount of wildlife, as well as Ketchikan, Wrangell, Prince of Wales, Sitka, Juneau, Haines, Skagway and Glacier Bay.
Day 3 A favorite for many cruise-goers and tourists, Ketchikan, Alaska, is a charming city located near the state’s southeastern edge. A well-traveled fishing destination first used by Alaska natives, including the Haida, Tlingit, and Tsimshian peoples, Ketchikan became an important commercial hub for international fishing operations in the nineteenth century. The city has embraced its nickname, “The Salmon Capital of the World,” and remains a popular site for commercial and sport fishing alike.

A plethora of totem poles, crafted by Native Alaskans, have been preserved by the city and comprise the largest collection of totem poles in Alaska. Visitors will spot totem poles while exploring the city’s waterfront and main streets, but most are housed in Saxman Village or the Totem Heritage Center. Shopping, culture, and history abound in downtown Ketchikan, where art galleries, seafood restaurants, and the historic Creek Street are merely a short walk away.

Nature lovers will delight in the abundant natural areas that surround the city. A quick boat ride or flight provides stunning views of the alluring and majestic beauty of the Misty Fjords National Monument. The nearby Tongass National Forest boasts spectacular wildlife, which can be seen on hikes through Eagle Creek and the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary. Those who seek adventure can zip-line, snorkel, or go off-roading in an all-terrain vehicle, all amidst the natural splendor of Alaska’s lush forests. The possibilities in Ketchikan are endless!

Arrive Time: 9:00 AM – Depart Time: 5:00 PM
Day 4 Juneau's majestic sprawl and abundance of nature set it apart from most capital cities in America. Tourists arrive via air or water, many coming in on cruise ships.

Sea kayaking, humpback whale watching, dog sledding and gazing at Mount Juneau are just some of the activities Juneau has on offer. Ride the Mount Roberts Tramway, see Mendenhall Glacier, and walk the vibrant downtown area, where restaurants and historic saloons beckon wanderers in from the cold.

Annual events in Juneau include Gold Rush Days, the Alaska Folk Festival, Golden North Salmon Derby, and Juneau Maritime Festival.

Arrive Time: 10:00 AM – Depart Time: 7:00 PM
Day 5 Sitka is accessible only by air or sea, giving visitors a real taste of this wild frontier. Sitka offers incredible scenery, fishing, hiking, and abundant wildlife. 22 of Sitka's buildings and monuments appear in the National Register of Historic Places.

Arrive Time: 9:30 AM – Depart Time: 6:00 PM
Day 6 Nestled at the confluence of the Stikine and Wrangell Rivers, Wrangell, Alaska, offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. This charming city, with its rich Tlingit heritage and historic sites, is an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic Alaskan experience.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find Wrangell a paradise of rugged landscapes and diverse wildlife. The Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the largest national park in the U.S., is a short drive away, offering breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains, and pristine rivers. Here, visitors can engage in activities such as hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. The nearby Petroglyph Beach features ancient rock carvings left by the Tlingit people, providing a glimpse into the area's early history and spiritual life.

A fun fact about Wrangell is that it was one of the first places in Alaska to be settled by non-natives, and it was briefly the capital of Russian America in the 19th century. This rich history adds a layer of intrigue to a visit to this picturesque Alaskan city.
