From Vancouver, cruise past evergreen forests and
native fishing villages to Juneau, Alaska's Capital,
where you'll see your first glacier, the mighty
Mendenhall. Then travel on to the old gold rush
frontier town of Skagway, with its well-preserved
boardwalks and "wild west" saloons. The highlight
of every Alaska cruise is a day spent at Glacier Bay
National Park where you have a front row view of the
fabulous spires, pinnacles and pillars of ice, and be
told about the phenomena of glaciers by the onboard
park naturalist. Finally, the quaint weathered town
of Ketchikan offers a park full of mystical totem poles
and excursions to the stunning "Misty Fjords".
On your travels you'll hopefully glimpse the
breeching of great hump-back whales in the wake of
your ship and seals basking on glacial icebergs. Watch
majestic bald-headed eagles soaring overhead and
see sock-eyed salmon turning rivers red.
