Ketchikan 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. Tracy Arm Fjord One of the most spectacular cruise destinations on earth, Tracy Arm Fjord is actually made up of two separate fjords. Both fjords are over 30 miles long and one-fifth of their area is covered in ice. With hundreds of waterfalls, epic glaciers and a huge variety of native wildlife, you won’t want to blink as you cruise past this natural wonder. Skagway 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 7,000ft in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the Alaskan Gold Rush days. Juneau Juneau 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. Victoria – British Columbia This picture-postcard town keeps its roots firmly planted in its English heritage. With quaint shops and cafes and a decidedly bohemian vibe, Victoria is a capital city that would make any province proud. Victoria is home to British Columbia’s best museums and bicycle tracks, as well as Beacon Hill, a park fringed by the stunning coastline. Day 13: Disembark Seattle Today your magical cruise will come to an end as you disembark in Seattle. Once you have disembarked you will be transferred to Seattle Airport for your international flight home to Australia. Day 14: Arrive Australia Arrive back in Australia.
