The sleepy town of Seward is the launchpad for this voyage, which travels southwards down 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 through Glacier Bay National Park to historic Sitka, Alaska's original capital, then set a course for Icy Strait Point, a jumping-off point for some of the most exhilarating outdoor adventures in North America. Then it's on to the historic town of Ketchikan before we enter Canadian waters, passing the pine-fringed islets of British Columbia and following the breathtaking Seymour Narrows down to Vancouver.
