A popular filming location, it’s surrounded by mountains, and also has thriving art, theatre and music scenes. Vancouver Art Gallery is known for its works by regional artists, while the Museum of Anthropology houses preeminent First Nations collections. ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: Ketchikan **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 02:00 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 4: Juneau **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 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 5: Skagway **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:30 PM Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest. Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used by countless stampeders. Many a would-be miner perished on the treacherous Chilkoot Trail. The gold rush was a boon and by 1898, Skagway was Alaska's la... ### Day 6: Glacier Bay (Scenic Cruising) **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM ### Day 7: College Fjord (Scenic Cruising) **Arrives:** 06:00 PM · **Departs:** 08:30 PM Discovered in the northwest corner of Prince William Sound during an 1899 research expedition, spectacular College Fjord and its glaciers were named after prestigious east coast schools by the college professors who first laid eyes upon their majesty. Stretching for miles, these massive rivers of ice tumble down from mountains and through valleys, dipping into the pristine waters of the fjord. There you'll have a chance to watch the awe-inspiring process of glaciers calving, or dropping enormous... ### Day 8: Whittier **Arrives:** 12:30 AM · **Departs:** 08:30 PM ### Day 9: Hubbard Glacier (Scenic Cruising), Alaska **Arrives:** 03:00 PM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Nicknamed the "Galloping Glacier," this east Alaskan glacier is rapidly advancing toward the Gulf of Alaska into a pristine area known as Disenchantment Bay. 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 10: Glacier Bay (Scenic Cruising) **Arrives:** 09:15 AM · **Departs:** 06:15 PM ### Day 11: 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. Local legend tells how they were forced from their ancestral home in Glacier Bay by advancing glaciers, resulting in their relocation to and settlement of Hoonah. In 1912, the Hoonah Packing Co. built a large cannery one mile north of town. After only five years of operation, the c... ### Day 12: 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.
