The sleepy town of Seward is the launchpad for this voyage, which travels southwards along the dramatic west coast of Alaska and Canada. Start with a bang at the awe-inspiring Hubbard Glacier, where colossal ice chunks calve into the sea. We sail on to Skagway to learn about the Gold Rush, then Juneau for exciting wildlife watching, and Klawock is your gateway to even more big nature at the Misty Fjords National Park. Then it's on to the historic town of Ketchikan, where houses sit on stilts, before we enter Canadian waters, passing the pine-fringed islets of British Columbia and following the breathtaking Seymour Narrows down to Vancouver.
