Seward, Alaska to Vancouver

You will never forget this extraordinary close-up view of the 49th state. Our journey begins in Seward, where you can hike to the fjords and dine on fresh halibut. Next comes a true highlight: the mesmerizing sight of the Hubbard Glacier, the longest tidewater glacier in North America – watch in awe as huge chunks of ice calve into the glittering waters. Now we head for Skagway, with its Gold Rush-era buildings, then Icy Strait Point, for the thrills and spills of the world’s largest ziprider and other outdoor activities. Alaska's original capital, Sitka, is next, where the onion-shaped dome of St. Michael’s is a visual reminder of the days when this was Russian territory. Onwards to Wrangell, home to the Tlingit people and 8,000-year-old rock carvings. Then we enter Canadian waters, passing through the spectacular Seymour Narrows before arriving in the lively city of Vancouver.
