2026 Alaska Cruise

Sitka is where Alaska’s wild heart comes alive. This island community is wrapped in jaw-dropping mountain peaks and panoramic ocean views that feel almost otherworldly. Keep your eyes open—whales breach offshore, brown bears roam the forests, deer wander the shoreline, and sea otters drift through kelp forests while eagles trace circles overhead. From world-class fishing to deep cultural history and Russian-influenced landmarks, Sitka delivers pure Alaska magic at every turn.

Icy Strait Point is a remote, adventure-focused destination where wildlife far outnumbers people. Known as the place “where the north wind doesn’t blow,” it offers stunning scenery and abundant opportunities for exploration. Visitors can enjoy cruises and a variety of excursions, making it an ideal stop for those seeking true Alaskan wilderness.

Ketchikan’s heavy rainfall feeds its lush surrounding wilderness, reflected in its Tlingit name, Kach Khanna, meaning “spread wings of the eagle.” During a visit—especially around Ward Cove—you’re likely to spot eagles perched high in the Sitka trees.

Stroll through the expansive Butchart Gardens, known for their vibrant flora, creative topiary, and elegant fountains. Then explore Victoria’s historic Bastion Square, Chinatown’s unique shops, and the lively sights and sounds of the Inner Harbour boardwalk.

Seattle lies between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, framed by the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. As your cruise debarks here, you can enjoy the city’s cosmopolitan atmosphere and cap off your journey with a visit to the iconic Space Needle—built for the 1962 World’s Fair—for sweeping panoramic views.
