This roundtrip cruise from Vancouver loops around the innumerable islands that lie off the west coast of Canada and Alaska, returning via the buzzy, creative city of Victoria. Travel up through the glacial wilderness of the Inside Passage, dotted with pine-fringed islands and snowcapped peaks, to the fishing hub of Ketchikan. From here, we head north to Tracy Arm fjord, the Sawyer Glacier, and on to mountain-ringed Haines for outdoor pursuits aplenty. Icy Strait Point brings whale-watching opportunities if you haven't yet spotted one, and then we arrive Sitka, a charming old settlement set in stunning surroundings that was Alaska's original capital city. We turn our course south again and a sea day takes us to Victoria and then back to Vancouver.
