In fact, its movement temporarily formed a natural dam that twice closed off nearby Russell Fjord from the bay, but the intense water pressure building within the fjord-turned-lake has thus far been enough to explode through the wall of ice. The largest tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier measures 76 miles long and plunge... ### Day 3: Glacier Bay (Scenic Cruising) **Arrives:** 09:15 AM · **Departs:** 06:15 PM ### Day 4: Icy Strait Point **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Nearby Alaska's largest Tlingit village exists a uniquely Alaskan place - lcy Strait Point. Hoonah, meaning "village by the cliff," is home to the Huna Tlingit who have occupied this area for thousands of years.

In 1912, the Hoonah Packing Co. built a large cannery one mile north of town. After only five years of operation, the c... ### Day 5: Juneau **Arrives:** 06:30 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM In 1880, it was slow going for Joe Juneau and Richard Harris as they searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans." From their discovery came three of the largest gold mines in the world. By the end of World War II, more than $150 million in gold had been mined. Eventually the mines closed, but the town Joe Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska and the business of gold... ### Day 6: Ketchikan **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. The name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means "eagle with spread-out wings," a reference to a waterfall near town. In the early 1900s, when gold was Alaska's claim to fame, fishing and timber industries were established in Ketchikan. The growth of these industries helped make this Inside Pa... ### Day 7: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 8: Vancouver, Canada **Arrives:** 07:30 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Vancouver, a bustling west coast seaport in British Columbia, is among Canada’s densest, most ethnically diverse cities.
