Majestic 7 Night Alaska Itinerary

Keep your eyes open. You never know when a spire of ice two stories tall will thunder into the sea, when a high mountain peak will suddenly appear out of the mist, or a pod of orcas surface to play alongside the ship. That's the beauty of Alaska: nature puts on a constant, surprising show.

Itinerary

SILVER BAY - Alaska

JUNEAU - Alaska
Everything about Juneau is larger than life. Its setting is spectacular, ringed by soaring mountains, sapphire-hued Gastineau Channel and the snowy peaks of Douglas Island. Named for a gold prospector, Joe Juneau, it's the only state capital that is accessible solely by air and sea.

GLACIER BAY NAT'L PARK - Alaska
The massive glacier was once more than 4,000 feet thick in places, up to 20 miles wide, and extended more than 100 miles to St. Elias mountain range. Since then, the Grand Pacific Glacier (the main glacier credited wtih carving the bay) has receded 65 miles, revealing a magnificent fjord. Today, Glacier Bay National Park is designated a World Heritage site and is home to 16 tidewater glaciers.

DAWES GLACIER - Alaska
Cruising into the Endicott Arm you'll spot Dawes Glacier, which is extremely active. When Dawes Glacier calves, as it does quite frequently, it can release chunks as larges as houses.

WRANGELL - Alaska
As early as 1881 the Russians began fur-trading with the Tlingit on the site of what is now Wrangell. Named for Baron Ferdinand Petrovich Wrangell, then head of Russian government interest in America, the settlement shifted to British, then American hands as fur trading gave way to gold prospecting. Much of the town's wild past and rich native culture remains for you to explore.

MISTY FJORDS - Alaska
There are no roads to Misty Fjords National Monument. Located at the back door of Ketchikan, one of Southeast Alaska's most visited towns, this 2.2 million acre wilderness remains isolated and remote. Those who enter this magnificent region of magnificent wilderness of deep fjords, steep-walled canyons and lacy waterfalls via air, day boat or small cruise ship are astounded by the stunning scenery and abundant wildlife.

KETCHIKAN - Alaska
'King Salmon Captial of the World,' is only five miles long and two miles wide. Explore picturesque Creek Street, formerly the town's Red Light district. The world's largest collection of standing totem poles can be seen in Saxman Village.
