Seattle (Days 1, 8)

Sitka (Day 3)

Sitka has perhaps the richest history of any Alaskan town. Explore the blend of Russian and Native American cultures while enjoying the unspoiled landscape at the gateway to remote Southeast Alaska. Both the local residents and abundant wildlife add to Sitka's authentic feel.
Juneau (Day 4)

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier (Day 4)

Icy Strait Point (Day 5)

Icy Strait Point offers something for every traveler. Extreme adventurers can explore the beautiful wilderness by going mountain biking, ocean kayaking, alpine hiking or deep-sea fishing. Those seeking a more relaxed adventure can watch a Native dance performance, learn about the town’s historic cannery at the museum or shop for arts and crafts.
Ketchikan (Day 6)

Ketchikan was originally founded as a Native American fishery before growing during the 1898 Gold Rush to the Klondike. Much of the town's colorful past is still evident, both in the city center and especially in the nearby Native American villages, where visitors will be enchanted by colorfully carved totem poles and the fascinating legends that surround them.
Victoria (Day 7)
