Day 5: INSIDE PASSAGE: Located right along the coast of British Columbia, the Inside Passage is the longest sheltered inland waterway in the world. Watch the water for orcas and humpback whales as you cruise the passage to the historic Alaskan ports of Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. Day 6: ARRIVAL TO THE PORT OF KETCHIKAN, (ALASKA - USA): A popular destination along Alaska's famed Inside Passage, Ketchikan is teeming with Native American culture. Home of the largest concentration of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people in the state, this extraordinarily beautiful city on Revillagigedo Island boasts the world's largest collection of totem poles, and an equally impressive selection of museums and cultural centers featuring Native dance, carvings and artifacts. Ketchikan's calm waters and surprisingly gentle climate make it a favorite of sports fishermen. Optional land excursions will be available upon arrival to Ketchikan. Day 7: ARRIVAL TO THE PORT OF JUNEAU, (ALASKA - USA): Juneau, Alaska is considered by many to be the most beautiful capital city in the nation. Checking in at just a little over 3,100-square-miles, Juneau qualifies as the biggest American city - geographically, that is. The terrain is hilly and winding, and narrow streets present a small-town quaintness existing side-by-side with cosmopolitan sophistication. You'll find great shopping, fine restaurants and superb museums. Optional land excursions will be available upon arrival to Juneau. Day 8: ARRIVAL TO THE PORT OF SKAGWAY, (ALASKA - USA): As your ship approaches Skagway, you'll see the town resting peacefully at the base of a river valley, bordered by the Coast Mountains. The mountains, ranging from 5,000- to 7,000-ft. in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Once on land, the streets of Skagway draw you back over 100 years, when this idyllic native fishing village was overrun by hordes of prospectors. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the Alaskan Gold Rush days. Optional land excursions will be available upon arrival to Skagway. Day 9: CRUISING THE LYNN CANAL AND ARRIVAL TO THE PORT OF SITKA, (ALASKA - USA): Stretching nearly 100 miles through some of Alaska's most breathtaking scenery, Lynn Canal is the longest glacial fjord in North America. As you cruise through this regal landscape you'll be awed by hanging glaciers, towering waterfalls and majestic mountains. Sitka, the only major city on Alaska's Baranof Island, is the beneficiary of three distinct cultures: Tlingit Indian, Russian and American. You'll find relics of all three cultures throughout the area. With the spectacular natural beauty of Sitka Sound, its fascinating history, unique totem park and Mount Edgecomb - a dormant volcano that rises above the harbor - Sitka is definitely a treasure in the Alaskan wilderness. Optional land excursions will be available upon arrival to Sitka. Day 10: CRUISING THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE COLLEGE FJORD, (ALASKA - USA): Located off the coast of Anchorage, this amazing body of water hosts the largest concentration of glaciers in Alaska, including the College Fjord, a series of glaciers named after elite Ivy League schools. Keep one eye on the shoreline while you cruise, as you just may spot otters, seals, bears, eagles and deer. College Fjord was discovered during an 1899 expedition funded by Ivy League colleges. As a result, all of the glaciers were named after the various schools in their honor. Located in the northwest corner of Prince William Sound, College Fjord is surrounded by over a dozen glaciers, the largest of which is called Harvard Glacier. As you sail along enjoying the serenity and natural beauty of this destination, listen for the splash of glaciers calving into the water below. Day 11: ARRIVAL TO ANCHORAGE FOR A 1 NIGHT STAY, (ALASKA - USA): The cruise arrives to Anchorage at 7:00 am approximately, and after claiming the debarkation, we offer a motor coach transfer to the assigned Hotel in Anchorage (Days inn or similar). After check-in, the rest of the day is at leisure. Anchorage is located at the upper end of Cook Inlet in the Gulf of Alaska, and it's known as Alaska's largest community. This popular tourist destination and crossroads for global air travel is only minutes away from the recreational areas bordering the Gulf of Alaska. Optional activities are offered and Guests can choose to take the Grandview Cruise Train excursion, which offers an incredible opportunity to view Anchorage's beautiful, pristine wilderness, including the Kenai Mountains.
