Day 4
Sunday/Monday
Cruise the inside passage. Towering mountains, narrow fjords and
pre-historic glaciers combine to make one of the World's great sea
voyages. This is prime habitat for grizzly bears, sea lions, bald
eagles, porpoise and of course several species of whales. Ocean
currents between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia are some
of the fastest in the World and you can see fish farms, loggers and
coastal cities fade into wilderness as you calmly sail north.

Day 5
Monday/Tuesday Arrive
at Ketchikan, Alaska and disembark. This city is both wet and
wild. Pristine wilderness is fed by the abundant moisture. It
is here you find pristine wilderness and a high concentration of animal
life. Consider seeing the outside museum of native art and one of
the largest collections of totem poles in the World. 
Day 6
Tuesday/Wednesday Juneau
is the next stop. Juneau is only accessible by water and air.
Grizzly bears are commonly seen here and you can see the Governer's
Mansion here. Majestic Mendenhall Glacier is just 13 miles from the
state capital, where you have views of Juneau Icefield, Lynn Canal and
Stephens Passage. Following Juneau we cruise either Sawyer or
Hubbard Glacier. These glacier parks continually amaze and inspire
cruisers. Massive chunks of ice calve off the edges and crash into
the salt water below, often as frequently s once per hour.
Backdropped with coastal mountains with white caps the sightseeing here is
unique in the World and absolutely astounding.
