Enjoy breakfast at the resort before packing up and departing for a day full of Alaskan history! We’ll begin the day on the Chena River! Your three-hour tour will take you into the heart of Alaska and introduce you to a family who has made the rivers of Alaska home over five generations. You’ll get to experience a bush pilot demonstration, visit a native village and learn their way of life, and visit the home and kennel of the late four-time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher! Keep your cameras ready for all the excitement!

Today the ship will be scenic cruising through the Hubbard Glacier, the largest tidewater glacier in North America. It measures 76 miles long and plunges 1,200 feet into the depths of the bay. Its immense beauty and phenomenal blue hues are enchanting, even from afar. But it's when your cruise ship draws closer that its towering surface really impresses, dwarfing even the uppermost deck on your ship at a whopping 40 stories high. The area around Hubbard Glacier is also renowned for its wildlife, where whales, harbor seals and otters swim, brown bears, moose and black-tailed deer roam ashore, and a wide variety of seabirds soar gracefully across the sky.

Today the ship will be scenic cruising through the Glacier Bay National Park. As one of a select few cruise lines permitted to cruise the pristine waters, this breathtaking national park and preserve boasts some of the world's most spectacular tidewater glaciers. Glacier Bay National Park is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the day, Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place. They may even help you identify wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, harbor seals, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and large colonies of seabirds. Take in the scenery as you enjoy an unforgettable day of sailing through this dazzling park, where you'll glide along emerald waters and past calving icebergs, and can breathe in the crisp, fresh air to your heart's content.

Today the ship will stop in Skagway from 7:00am-8:30pm. Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest. Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used by countless stampeders. By 1898, Skagway was Alaska's largest town with a population of about 20,000. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. But when the gold yield dwindled in 1900, so did the population as miners quickly shifted to new finds in Nome. Today, Skagway has less than 1,000 residents. It still retains the flavor of the gold rush era. You will have the opportunity to book optional excursions for an additional cost on this day.

Today the ship will stop in Juneau from 6:30am-4:00pm. In 1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans." From their discovery came three of the largest gold mines in the world. By the end of World War II, more than $150 million in gold had been mined. Eventually the mines closed, but the town Joe Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska and the business of gold was replaced by the business of government. Some 30,000 people live in Juneau. Its total area makes it one of the biggest towns, in size, in the world. Only Kiruna, Sweden, and Sitka, Alaska, exceed Juneau's 3,248 square miles. Juneau is famous not only for gold and government but also for its breathtakingly beautiful glaciers and stunning views of both water and mountains. You will have the opportunity to book optional excursions for an additional cost on this day.

Today the ship will stop in Ketchikan from 10:00am-6:00pm. Known as Alaska's "First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north, the name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means "eagle with spread-out wings," a reference to a waterfall near town. In the early 1900s, when gold was Alaska's claim to fame, fishing and timber industries were established here. The growth of these industries helped make this Inside Passage port Alaska's fourth-largest city. Visitors to Ketchikan will be intrigued by its rich Native heritage, which includes the world's oldest collection of totem poles at Totem Heritage Center. The Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian are all a part of the city's colorful history. Ketchikan, with its abundance of salmon, is also a sportfishing paradise. You will have the opportunity to book optional excursions for an additional cost on this day.
