Monday, July 9 – Tracy Arm Fjord and Juneau
Tracy Arm Fjord (Scenic Cruising) – Arrive at 6 am, depart at 10 am – Breathtaking Tracy Arm extends over 30 miles long, with nearly a quarter of its area covered in ice. In fact, it encompasses some of Alaska’s largest glaciers, including the twin Sawyer glaciers, which often expel enormous chunks of ice into the waters below in a magnificent process known as calving. Icebergs float along the surface of the glistening water in an array of sizes, from just a few inches up to three stories wide. Protected within the Tongass National Forest, Tracy Arm Fjord is a haven for wildlife. Black and brown bears, deer, wolves, harbor seals, mountain goats and a variety of seabirds have been spotted in the area. As you glide through the pristine fjord, you’ll first pass by a lush forest where a number of beautiful waterfalls cascade down, and then you’ll be treated to views of snowcapped mountains and blue-tinged glaciers more spectacular than you could ever imagine.
Juneau – Arrive at 1:30 pm, depart at 10 pm – Come face-to-face with the impressive Mendenhall Glacier up close, go whale watching or take a helicopter tour and walk on a glacier. Juneau is famous not only for gold and government but also for its breathtakingly beautiful glaciers and stunning views of both water and mountains. Join us this evening for music and drinks at the Red Dog Saloon.
Tuesday, July 10 – Skagway, Alaska and Cruising Inside Passage
Skagway – Arrive at 7 am, depart at 6 pm – 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.

Join us on a hike with beautiful snowcapped mountains as our backdrop, or take a train ride to learn about the history of the gold rush. Tonight, we’ll meet back onboard the ship for a pre-dinner drink, an evening of recounting the day’s activities and sailing through the Inside Passage.
