Your first glimpse of glaciers will come at either the Tracy or Endicott Fjords. Discover a ‘Little Norway’ in Petersburg and admire art at the many galleries in Haines. William Henry Bay is known for its old-growth forest—and the chance to find gold—while Point Adolphus is famous for its superb whale watching. You’ll also visit Sitka, Alaska’s former capital when it belonged to Russia.
Journey from Vancouver to Seward and Anchorage. Discover Alaska’s many fjords, Gold-Rush–era history, glistening glaciers, rare wildlife, primeval rainforest, and rich indigenous and Russian culture.
Sail north past the islands and fjords of the Johnstone Strait of Vancouver Island into open sea, continuing up the Hecate Strait. The magnificent Misty Fjords wilderness will be your introduction to Alaska. Not bad, right? Next stop, Wrangell. In this historic town, look for petroglyphs strewn along the beach.

Icy Bay is as it sounds, featuring icebergs that have calved off three glaciers further into the bay. In the friendly salmon fishing hamlet of Cordova, you’ll find frontier charm at its finest. Then it’s on to College Fjord, a spectacular stretch of water flanked by snow-dusted mountains and glaciers. One spot in particular offers views of as many as eight glaciers at once.
You’ll disembark in Seward on the Kenai Peninsula, beneath Mount Marathon, and enjoy a bus ride to Anchorage. Dall sheep might peek out along the route and you may even see bison, bears, musk oxen, and elk during our stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Your thrilling expedition comes to an end in the modern city of Anchorage, the state’s largest.
