DAY 1
Seattle, Washington
Smell the coffee in Pike Place Market where it all began for Starbucks, then see it from far above at the 520ft Space Needle. A magnet for art and culture lovers of all stripes and an outdoor wonderland for adventurers – the Emerald City has it all.
DAY 2
Cruising
An ‘at sea’ day is your chance to explore all the amazing activities the ship has to offer, including doing nothing at all. Relax in the Spa, take in a show at the theatre, or experience any of the incredible dining venues. There’s so much to do the difficulty will be choosing what to do next!
DAY 3
Alaska Inside Passage
You’ll sail beyond the Inside Passage into the more protected Alaska Inside Passage, a complex labyrinth of fjords and bays where whales and sea lions find refuge during the summer months.
DAY 4
Skagway, Alaska
Your gateway to the rugged Klondike harks back to the 1898 gold rush. See the vast Davidson Glacier up close, or hop aboard the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway. Ascending 3,000ft in 32km, you’ll have unrivalled photo opportunities at every turn.
DAY 5
Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska (Sawyer Glacier)
Book-ended by two of Alaska’s most dramatic glaciers, the North and South Sawyer, and surrounded by granite walls that rise 3,000 feet from the emerald colored seas, this area has everything you’ve come to Alaska to experience.
