Surrounded by mountains, vibrant Vancouver is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and cosmopolitan adventurers alike. Meandering oceanside pathways surround eclectic neighbourhoods – Stanley Park, the West End, Gastown, Yaletown, Chinatown. A major global city, it is renowned for its cultural diversity and thriving art, theatre, music and food scenes. Its perfectly picturesque setting makes it popular filming location – with old-growth cedar forests, mountains covering 75% and two-thirds of Canada's bird species and land mammals. A big, bustling city perched on the edge of wilderness.
Day 2 - At Sea
Day 3 - Wrangell, Alaska, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika
Arrive: Sun 01 August 2027 at 08:00/Depart: Sun 01 August 2027 at 18:00
The terrain is big and the crowds are small in this lesser traveled wonder that wholly embraces the “Last Frontier” spirit. Nature reigns in the Anan Bear & Wildlife Observatory where onlookers are strictly limited. Cosy comforts of town open to adventures beyond: climb steep Mount Dewey; follow a boardwalk to Rainbow Falls; cruise the great Stikine River; or hop a small boat to LeConte Bay that is brimming with icebergs. The grass is greener on the golf course where grazing deer may be spotted. Cook-up memories with outdoor culinary classes or ponder the 3,000-year-old messages at Petroglyph Beach. A lifetime of adventures in one compact location.
Day 4 - Hoonah, Vereinigte Staaten
Arrive: Mon 02 August 2027 at 09:00/Depart: Mon 02 August 2027 at 18:00
Day 5 - Hubbard Glacier
Arrive: Tue 03 August 2027 at 09:00/Depart: Tue 03 August 2027 at 13:00
Massive and magical, Hubbard is considered the mother-of-all tidewater glaciers in North America. Taller than a 30-storey building (above water). Larger than the state of Rhode Island. The marvel is also the most active, with ice chunks regularly sloughing off in massive dimensions. The thunderous roar of cracking ice echoes against a stellar backdrop with five of the ten tallest peaks in America. The most magical moment you’ll ever enjoy on deck.
Day 6 - Valdez
Arrive: Wed 04 August 2027 at 09:00/Depart: Wed 04 August 2027 at 16:00
Witness five glaciers — Valdez, Shoup, Columbia, Meares, Worthington — as they spill their loads of ice directly into super-scenic Prince William Sound. The encircling mountains and thundering waterfalls give this tiny town the moniker of the “Switzerland of Alaska”. Walk trails that disappear into lush forests; paddle alongside Puffins; go with the flow whilst rafting the chalky blue Lowe River, Valdez has it all. Bears, Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans, even Rufous Hummingbirds from as far away as Mexico all flock here.
Day 7 - Kodiak, Alaska
Arrive: Thu 05 August 2027 at 10:00/Depart: Thu 05 August 2027 at 18:00
Day 8 - Seward
Arrive: Fri 06 August 2027 at 07:00/Depart: Fri 06 August 2027
