Description

Begin in Vancouver, gliding into the serene waterways of the Inside Passage, where misty forests and sculpted shorelines set the tone for the days ahead. In Ketchikan, explore rainforest trails and deep-rooted Native heritage before Klawock offers a more intimate glimpse of Tlingit culture through its storied totems. Sitka reveals volcanic beauty and coastal wilderness on Baranof Island. Sail toward the mighty Hubbard Glacier, its immense ice face shifting and thundering into blue waters. In Valdez, dramatic fjords and snow-capped peaks frame one of Alaska’s most breathtaking harbours, leading to a finale in Seward.

Surrounded by mountains, vibrant Vancouver is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and cosmopolitan adventurers alike. Meandering oceanside pathways surround eclectic neighbourhoods – Stanley Park, the West End, Gastown, Yaletown, Chinatown. A major global city, it is renowned for its cultural diversity and thriving art, theatre, music and food scenes. Its perfectly picturesque setting makes it popular filming location – with old-growth cedar forests, mountains covering 75% and two-thirds of Canada's bird species and land mammals. A big, bustling city perched on the edge of wilderness.

Tucked into the scalloped coast of remote Prince Wales Island, Klawock is where migratory salmon come to gorge on herring and birds flock to the enormous Tongass forest. The Tlingit settled here first with a rich history that is told in the outdoor gallery of 21 whimsical totem poles and Tuxekan village where artisans still carve. Kayak and canoe islet-dotted waterways and best-protected coastline. Get out with a guide to view wildlife from whales to black bears, Sitka deer, gray wolves, mink and otters. Reel in adventure with a mix of salt and fresh water fishing, making this a serious angler’s must-cast destination.

Massive and magical, Hubbard is considered the mother-of-all tidewater glaciers in North America. Taller than a 30-storey building (above water). Larger than the state of Rhode Island. The marvel is also the most active, with ice chunks regularly sloughing off in massive dimensions. The thunderous roar of cracking ice echoes against a stellar backdrop with five of the ten tallest peaks in America. The most magical moment you’ll ever enjoy on deck.

The encircling mountains and thundering waterfalls give this tiny town the moniker of the ‘Switzerland of Alaska’. Witness three glaciers — Valdez, Columbia, Worthington — as they spill their loads of ice directly into super-scenic Prince William Sound. Walk trails that disappear into lush forests; paddle alongside Puffins; go with the flow whilst rafting the chalky blue Lowe River, Valdez has it all. Bears, Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans, even Rufous Hummingbirds flock here from as far away as Mexico.

Big nature and bigger adventures await in Seward, where the crack of calving glaciers and shrill cry of seabirds form the soundtrack of the Alaskan wilderness. Look out for waterspouts and tailfins on sublime sailings in Kenai Fjords National Park, a coastal masterpiece of epic icefields and tufted puffins nesting among shale cliffs. Explore past glacial waterfalls, conquer the heart-pounding trail to Harding Icefield or gentle loop around Exit Glacier. Find breathtaking views of Resurrection Bay, the dramatic fjord of deep, glacial waters and towering cliffs leading up to Seward.
