Seattle, Washington

The Emerald City of the Pacific Northwest, this city’s stately skyline sparkles against a backdrop of inland seas and snow-capped mountains.  Shop glittering downtown, the bustling Farmers’ Market, historic Pioneer Square, or see it all from the top of the Space Needle.

Puget Sound Inside Passage (scenic cruising)

Tracy Arm, Alaska

Located 50 miles north of Juneau, this spectacular fjord boasts some of Alaska’s most beautiful sights. Cruising allows for the perfect vantage point to take in the majestic beauty of dazzling waterfalls. Witness the white thunder as the ice of Sawyer Glaciers calves off of the wondrous granite canyons and crashes into the waters of the fjord below.

Juneau, Alaska

When a drifter named Joe Juneau picked up the first Alaska gold nugget out of Gold Creek in 1880, he could hardly imagine that his name would be affixed to the state capitol. Fronting on the blue waters of the Gastineau Channel and surrounded by the stunning backdrop of Mt. Juneau and the Tongass National Forest wilderness, its visual drama never fails to stir visitors.  Visit the stately Governor’s Mansion, saunter through the swinging doors of the Red Dog Saloon, or sightsee the mighty Mendenhall Glacier, just outside town.

Sitka, Alaska

For 100 years, this charming port city reigned as the capital of Russian America. Today the influence of the Czars is still very present in the majestic St. Michael’s Cathedral and the Sheldon Jackson Museum, housing prized Russian and Indian artifacts.

Ketchikan, Alaska

This waterfront town built on trestles, docks and pilings looks like it has been plucked from a storybook about frontier life.  Explore historic Creek Street, now a covey of contemporary art galleries and quaint boutiques.  Meet the spirits of the raven, whale and eagle as you view the largest collection of totems in the world at Totem Bight Park.

Victoria, B.C., Canada

Victoria is known as “The City of Gardens” and is the most English city outside of England, featuring a beautiful harbor, historic museums, and the world-famous Butchart Gardens. The city's British colonial heritage is still very much in evidence, but contemporary Victoria has a distinctly Pacific northwest flavor.  Victoria's unique character is deeply rooted in its 150-year history — a history full of colorful people and fascinating tales.
