You’ve never tasted salmon so fresh. Ketchikan, known as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” is also the ancestral homeland of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world’s largest collection of totem poles. For those seeking adventure, consider embarking on a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rainforest, or indulge in a wilderness exploration followed by an unforgettable, sumptuous crab feast!

| Sitka, Alaska |
| Once a Russian settlement until the Alaska Purchase of 1867, Sitka’s Russian heritage remains deeply embedded in the city’s fabric. Visit St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Cathedral for a pristine example of period architecture. Nestled on the coast of the Gulf of Alaska, there’s much natural beauty to explore, including Whale Park, the Sitka Historical Park with hundred-year-old totem poles, and Tongass National Forest. Another place well worth exploring is the Jackson Museum, which is the oldest standing museum in all of Alaska. It is home to a small yet impressive collection of artifacts representing various indigenous groups from across Alaska. (B, L, D) |
| Juneau, Alaska |
| Getting to Juneau isn’t a breeze, requiring a journey by air or sea. However, once you arrive, you’ll find majestic views and rich culture awaiting you in every corner. This remote state capital of Alaska, with its snowcapped mountains, misty rainforests, colossal glaciers, and abundant wildlife, provides the perfect backdrop to immerse yourself in the wonders of nature. Framed by Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts, the city’s picturesque downtown area showcases centuries-old bars, charming boutique shops, and historic landmarks. For a taste of the local culture, visit the historic district and the Alaska State Museum. For outdoor enthusiasts, the options are plentiful, ranging from whale watching in Auke Bay Harbor to tundra trekking over Mendenhall Glacier or trying your hand at gold panning in Last Chance Basin.

| Icy Strait Point, Alaska |
| For thousands of years, the Tlingit Indians have called this place home. Located near the city of Hoonah and housing a historic cannery, Icy Strait Point offers travelers the chance to view wildlife such as humpback whales, orcas, seals, eagles, and brown bears. Visitors can also explore the monuments that pay tribute to the region’s fishing heritage. (B, L, D) |
Hubbard Glacier – Cruising
The Hubbard Glacier is located 30 miles north off the coast of Yakutat and is by far one of Alaska’s most exciting natural treasures. On your cruise to Hubbard Glacier, enjoy incredible picture-perfect views of this magnificent ice formation from virtually every vantage point on your ship. Named in honor of Gardiner Hubbard, the founder and president of the National Geographic Society, Hubbard Glacier holds the title of being the world’s longest tidewater glacier. The dedicated onboard naturalist narrates the experience and keeps watch for whales, harbor seals, and otters that hunt and play in the waters of Yakutat Bay. (B, L, D)
