In Vancouver, you’ll set sail aboard the lavish Regent Seven Seas Explorer to marvel at the glacially carved Alaska shoreline and indulge in delicious local food at ports such as Ketchikan.

Flavours of Alaska
Among the included shore excursions on this short cruise are the chance to immerse yourself in Tlingit culture in Icy Strait Point and Hoonah, centred around a restored salmon cannery with a museum, restaurants, and crafts shops. You can whale-watch from Hoonah, drive a Jeep along the old logging roads criss-crossing Chichagof Island (home to more bears than people), and look out for Sitka black-tailed deer and bald eagles as you ride a gondola up Hoonah Mountain.
Gold Rush Heritage
A highlight of this Vancouver-round-trip is Hubbard Glacier, North America’s largest tidewater glacier, which measures a breathtaking 122km in length and 9.5km in width and is more than 0.6km thick in some parts. The best place to view it from is Disenchantment Bay, where you can hear it cracking as it calves into the sea.
Northwest Passage Experience
A fabulous three-week odyssey taking you over to Japan, this cruise includes an immersion in the colourful history and characters of the Klondike Gold Rush era in downtown Skagway, where locals in period costumes recount the town’s bawdy history, and where you can ride the historic narrow-gauge White Pass & Yukon Route Railway as it climbs to 900 metres in gorgeous mountains.
