    Ketchikan, United States

    Enjoy a one-night hotel stay in Ketchikan, a relaxed, immersive way to ease into Alaska. Often called "The First City" because it's the first port of call when entering Alaska from the south, Ketchikan blends small-town charm with rich Native heritage and dramatic coastal scenery. Nestled along the Tongass Narrows, the town is known for its colorful waterfront, historic Creek Street, and one of the world's largest collections of totem poles, reflecting the deep traditions of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples.

    Misty Fjord, Alaska, United States
    • Misty Fjord, Alaska, United States
    As you cruise through Misty Fjords, the sense of scale is immediate and unforgettable. Glaciers carved this landscape over thousands of years, creating narrow passages, steep rock walls, and waterfalls that tumble directly into the sea. From the comfort of the ship, admire the massive granite cliffs rising from reflective waters, their upper reaches often veiled in mist. Lush rainforest blankets the shoreline, dominated by spruce and hemlock, while seals, whales, and seabirds can be spotted along the route. Accessible primarily by boat or floatplane, Misty Fjords remains quiet and remote, an impressive showcase of the region's raw geology and thriving natural habitats. ...

    Founded by Norwegian fishermen, Petersburg remains a working harbor where tradition meets innovation. Explore its docks and canneries or venture out on a guided flightseeing or jet boat excursion for sweeping views of the LeConte Glacier.

    Endicott Arm, United States
    • Endicott Arm, United States
    • Cruising Dawes Glacier, United States
    Journey through Endicott Arm, a fjord formed by ancient glacial movement and defined by granite cliffs that rise steeply from the water's edge. As the ship travels deeper into the channel, narrow streams tumble from the cliffs, and harbor seals rest on drifting ice. Humpback whales and bald eagles are often seen nearby, drawn by the nutrient-rich waters of the fjord. At the far end, Dawes Glacier comes into view-a massive tidewater glacier that descends from the Stikine Icefield. When ice breaks free and falls into the sea, the sound rolls through the valley, a vivid reminder of Alaska's ongoing transformation. ...
