Day 1: UK to Vancouver Depart on your scheduled flight to Vancouver. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for the evening. Day 2: Vancouver D Your driver will meet you at your hotel to transfer you to the city’s port to board your Holland America Line cruise ship, which will set sail late afternoon. You will have plenty of time to relax and take full advantage of the ship’s plentiful on-board facilities. Day 3: Alaskan Cruise - The Inside Passage B/L/D Leaving Vancouver behind your ship will trace the outline of North America’s most scenic coastal landscape, weaving through islands of the Pacific Coast known as the Inside Passage. Boasting wildlife-filled fjords and evergreen-coated scenery, position yourself on the upper deck for the best chance to observe soaring eagles, grizzly bears, breaching whales and bathing seals. Day 4: Alaskan Cruise - Tracy Arm Inlet & Juneau B/L/D Weather permitting, the ship will navigate the 30-mile long Tracy Arm Fjord to view the mammoth Sawyer Glacier which oversees a slow-moving river of ice. After lunch you’ll arrive in Juneau, Alaska’s state capital, in which there are a number of optional excursions on offer including dog sledging with huskies, whale watching and a helicopter ride over the glacier. Day 5: Alaskan Cruise - Skagway B/L/D The ship arrives in Skagway this morning where it remains all day, leaving plenty of time to explore this charming relic of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush. Wooden sidewalks and turn-of-the-century buildings will take you back to the lawless living of pioneer days. Shore excursions are also aplenty; we recommend you take a fascinating ride on the restored carriages along the old White Pass and Yukon railroad through the Alaskan wilderness. Day 6: Alaskan Cruise - Glacier Bay B/L/D Today enjoy a tour highlight as your cruise ship slowly enters Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that protects a unique ecosystem of majestic humpback whales, black bears and Yukon wolves. A national park ranger will come on board to provide a detailed commentary of your wild surroundings and answer any questions you have. You may also have the chance to witness a monumental chunk of ice splitting off one of the eight gargantuan glaciers. Day 7: Alaskan Cruise - Ketchikan B/L/D After a morning cruising, the ship will arrive at Ketchikan, a small metropolis that clutches the shores of the Tongass Narrow. Explore this charming area at leisure, wandering along Creek Street, through the Totem Pole Park or pick one of the optional wildlife excursions such as a bear adventure by floatplane or an Alaskan fishing experience. Day 8: Alaskan Cruise - The Inside Passage B/L/D Your final full day on board will be spent returning through the Inside Passage allowing you more time to appreciate the area’s distinct beauty, observe its natural inhabitants or simply relax.
