Cruise the Inside Passage Every itinerary includes a leisurely voyage along this world-famous waterway. On board naturalists alert you to the wildlife and give talks on glacial behavior. Three delightful ports Ketchikan, Alaska's first city, claims to be salmon capital of the world and is also center of the ancient Tlingit culture. Tour to see Alaska's largest collection of original totems. Go Fishing. Shop for gold nugget jewelry or a soapstone carving.
Sitka still displays fascinating relics of its Russian heritage. Tour to Castle Hill, and at St. Michael's Cathedral see pre-1800 icons. Opt for a visit to the Raptor Rehabilitation Center, where wounded eagles are nursed back to health. Glaciers The stars of the voyage are Hubbard and College fjords. Giant Hubbard Glacier—longest in Alaska—lies at the head of Yakutat Bay. Your ship will cruise slowly past the six-mile face while you watch the dramatic birth of icebergs. In College Fjord, still more dazzling sighs. Sixteen glaciers flow from the icy peaks that line the bay. They're named for the colleges that financed the Harriman Expedition to Alaska a century ago. |
