Back by popular demand, this outstanding program has it all: unparalleled beauty, plentiful wildlife, fantastic photography, great food and entertainment, and exceptional on-board service. Alaska is a true American treasure—one that everyone should experience. There are two wonderful options: the 7-day southbound “Voyage of the Glaciers” cruise, sailing from Whittier to Vancouver, or the 14-day cruise-tour. The latter program combines the cruise with seven days of land travel beginning in Fairbanks. Highlights of the land program include Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley, and the amazing Kenai Wilderness. Conclude your journey in Whittier, where you will board the Island or Coral Princess for the cruise down to Vancouver. Ports of call include Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. You will revel in the beauty and power of calving glaciers in College Fjord, the immense wildlife in Glacier Bay National Park, and the famed Inside Passage. The cruise ends in Vancouver, where you may stay over to visit charming Victoria or return home.
