Alaska flower arrangements. While you sit back and
relax, the onboard tour guides will provide you with
interesting bit of information about Alaska. Serving
Alaska since 1923, this is truely a once in a

DAY 7: HUBBARD GLACIER
The “Galloping Glacier” made history in 1986 when it
surged forward at the rate of up to 130 feet a day,
blocking off Russell Fjord. The ice dam was
eventurally broken, but Hubbard Glacier continues to
surge forward, calving icebergs into the water. Keep
your binoculars handy as you cruise through the
glacier’s home waters, the wildlife-rich Yakutat
Bay. (B,L,D)

Farther up the coast, visit Alaska's capital and the

Channel. The city combines the modern architecture
of high-rise buildings with the renovated structures
of the Gold Rush Historic District. (B,L,D)
DAY 9: SKAGWAY
Remember the days of 1898, when 20,000 prospectors
passed through town in search of Klondike gold. The
era's history has been carefully preserved in
Skagway's storefronts and on the 33-mile Chilkoot
Trail. Shop for gold-nugget jewelry and bring home a
treasure. (B,L,D)
DAY 10: SITKA
Experience an interesting part of history in the
city that was once the capital of Russian America.

Alaska's largest collection of original totems. (B,L,D)
DAY 12: CRUISE INSIDE PASSAGE
For a whole day, you cruise this enchanted waterway,
and each vista surpasses the one before. Your ship
threads her sure course past forests, islands and
inlets, surrounded by silence. You glimpse a deep
fjord penetrating the wilderness. To the east the
sun glints on snowcapped peaks. An incredible
voyage. (B,L,D)
