With modernized cityscapes, gorgeous parks, and breathtaking waterfront views, Seattle remains high on the list of must-see destinations in the United States. Sample the Emerald City’s famous espresso (it is the birthplace of Starbucks, after all), visit its fresh, local markets, and tour the thriving art, tech, and foodie scenes that are scattered throughout its diverse neighborhoods. Located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, Seattle is also a fantastic city for those who enjoy outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking and kayaking.
The city is perfectly situated to embark on an Alaska cruise from Seattle. After spending a few days in this vibrant metropolitan city, you’ll experience the towering glaciers, rugged landscapes, and unique wildlife of the Last Frontier.
On a Ketchikan cruise, you’ll visit one of the prettiest towns along the Inside Passage. Surrounded by the dense Tongass Forest and overlooked by the sometimes snow-capped Deer Mountain, Ketchikan is famed for its abundant salmon, impressive collection of Northwest totem poles, and the colorful houses along Creek Street, a stilted boardwalk that’s now a historical landmark.
Cruises to Ketchikan provide the opportunity for dozens of activities, from sea kayaking and mountain hikes to float plane rides over the island-specked Misty Fjords. There’s delicious salmon to be sampled in the “Salmon Capital of the World,” and during the salmon runs in summer, abundant bear spotting, too. On your Alaska cruise, discover Ketchikan’s ancient history told through the art and wood carving of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people who have lived here for millennia.
You’ve never tasted salmon so fresh. Known as the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’, Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world’s largest collection of totem poles. If you’re up for an adventure, take a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness exploration followed by a sumptuous crab feast you’ll long remember.
Alaska’s Endicott Arm Fjord marks the southern edge of the 653,179-acre Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness area. As you sail through its 30-mile-long stretch, you can’t help but be amazed by the untouched beauty of the surrounding granite mountains, verdant valleys and numerous waterfalls. Drifting icebergs, deep blue waters and a spectacular tidewater glacier only add to this natural spectacle’s appeal. Endicott Arm is one of the largest breeding grounds for harbor seals on the planet. Keep your eyes open for these creatures splashing in icy waters near the ship or floating with their pups on giant chunks of ice. Along the shore you might also glimpse brown bears, bald eagles, sea ducks, deer, moose and wolves. Your journey through scenic Endicott Arm Fjord ends with a front-row view of the striking Dawes Glacier. Standing over 600 feet tall and a half-mile wide, this very active icecap is known for its spectacular calving displays which noisily produce huge, chunky icebergs that float in area waters. Remember to dress in wind-resistant layers for viewing scenery outside on deck.
On a Juneau cruise, you’ll discover a compact capital bustling with activity, where floatplanes buzz over the water, hikers set out to explore the forest trails, and summer visitors browse the enticing shops of the downtown area. Nature is never far away in Juneau—you’ll see majestic bald eagles perching on fences and in trees. The waters of Auke Bay are rich feeding grounds for marine mammals, from acrobatic humpback whales to sleek orcas.
On your Alaska cruise, take a trip to the nearby Mendenhall Glacier and you could spot bears in the woods around the icy lake. Just minutes from downtown, you’ll find yourself in a wilderness of pristine shorelines, where bottle-green spruce trees jostle against stony beaches, and blue-white glaciers flow over distant hanging valleys.
Cruises to Skagway whisk you back to the heady days of the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century, a very different picture from the sleepy coastal town you’ll see today on your Alaska cruise. Back then, the town was teeming with prospectors who would set off over the treacherous White Pass to the Klondike gold fields, a journey many visitors make today on the historic White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad. You can learn more about the Gold Rush in the excellent Visitor Center, which brings the whole story to life.
History aside, Skagway is surrounded by extraordinary natural beauty, like towering mountains, dense forest, and tumbling waterfalls. Outdoor activities abound, from ziplining to white water rafting, cycling, hiking the beginning of the famous Chilkoot Trail, and summer dog sledding. Back in town, you’ll find lively pubs and restaurants offering fresh Alaskan fare, as well as an eclectic collection of galleries, outdoors suppliers, and quirky craft boutiques.
***This is brief port stop is required by law. It will be only for a few hours. You probably won’t see much since it will be late. Please manage your expectations.
Though Toronto and Vancouver are the more famous Canadian destinations, it’s high time for the sophisticated and beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia (BC) to have its big moment. On a Canada cruise, the quaint charm and English manners of Victoria will take you back in time to the days of British occupation in the 19th century. Victoria is known as “the garden city” for its lushness and its commitment to keeping the city beautiful. Head to Butchart Garden or Beacon Hill Park to enjoy nature during your time in port.
Of course, a little history lesson is another must while on a cruise to Victoria, BC. Tour the expertly maintained Craigdarroch Castle and the Parliament Buildings, or stop in the Royal BC Museum, a natural history museum dedicated to the history of human settlement in the region. There’s also the Emily Carr House, a museum dedicated to the life and works of the famous painter, Emily Carr. Victoria exudes an intellectualism where art galleries and afternoon tea await you, but so do long bicycle rides along the seafront. Stylish cafes and restaurants are modernizing the city, all while maintaining its signature look: something straight out of a postcard
