ALASKA CRUISES 2021

The town of Seward is both charming and scenic. It is the terminus point of the historic Alaska Railroad, and is also home to a fine menu of restaurants.

You'll sail beyond the Inside Passage into the protected Alaska Inside Passage; a complex labyrinth of fjords and bays where whales and sea lions find refuge during the summer months.

Awe inspiring scenery is the draw of Alaska's Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier. Waterfalls, icebergs and the spectacular Dawes Glacier are just some of the natural wonders you'll encounter here.

The largest calving glacier on the North American continent, Hubbard Glacier calves off icebergs as high as 10-story buildings. This sends blocks of ice into the sea every few minutes.

Go whale watching, learn Tinglit tribal customs or fly high above Port Frederick on a zip-rider. Later, tuck into the ultimate halibut and chips at the Hoonah Packing Company cannery.

The dramatic scenery of the Inside Passage has been shaped by glaciers for millions of years. The terrain here is verdant and vivid – mysterious forests blanket the towering mountains.

Some sightseeing is best done from above. View the majestic Mendenhall Glacier from the East Glacier Loop Trail, or sail via gondola to Mount Roberts. Don’t miss the crab cakes.

Experience Eden firsthand. Kayak saltwater fjords fringed by forests, keeping an eye out for black bears and porpoises. Tour the great outdoors by foot, bike or zipline.

Explore this Russian-influenced fishing village with a tour of the onion-domed cathedral perched atop Castle Hill. Alternatively, venture out on a sea excursion and try your hand at catching halibut.

Your gateway to the rugged Klondike harks back to the 1898 gold rush. See the vast Davidson Glacier up close, or hop aboard the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway.
