Stunning scenery – such as Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge – and incredible wildlife are just some highlights of this vibrant, beautiful city.

Vancouver port guide.

Consistently rated among the world’s best cities, Vancouver’s mass appeal knows no bounds. Surrounded by sea, verdant countryside and mountain peaks, the city’s position in British Columbia is an attraction in itself, but Vancouver is much more than a gateway to the Sea-to-Sky highway and the snowy slopes of Whistler.

With a dense multicultural population, the city is a diverse and cosmopolitan destination, rich with art, history and a unique culinary identity that’s gaining momentum all the time. Beyond Vancouver, you’ll find opportunities to hike, ski and kayak, as well as the chance to bathe in the world’s most mineral-dense thermal springs.

Top landmarks and sights in Vancouver.

From characterful neighborhoods like Gastown and Chinatown, to Stanley Park and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, Vancouver offers a dynamic blend of cultural and natural treasures to explore. You’ll find impressive feats of architecture and engineering, as well as adrenaline-fueled experiences to set your pulse racing.

A walk through Stanley Park is an absolute must. The 1,000-acre space is an oasis in every sense of the word, and the city’s number one attraction. Created in 1888, Stanley Park is unlike anything you’ve experienced, combining rainforest, beaches and historic landmarks with walking trails, ambient restaurants and an aquarium offering countless species of exotic fish.

In North Vancouver, The Capilano Suspension Bridge and the Grouse Mountain are among the top landmarks to seek out. The bridge snakes a 140-meter route through the treetops, 85-meters above the Capilano River. The scenery is magnificent and the experience is truly unique.

Grouse Mountain, just 15-minutes from Vancouver downtown, offers an abundance of year-round attractions. Take the Skyride, North America’s largest aerial tramway, to the summit for alpine shopping, mountainside dining and ranger talks at the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife.

Things to do in Vancouver, British Columbia.

There’s no shortage of things to do on a port call to Vancouver. From museums and galleries to shopping, historical neighborhoods, and an abundance of outdoor pursuits, Vancouver is a city that really can claim to have it all.

Spend an afternoon browsing the contemporary collections at the Vancouver Art Gallery, including works by British Columbian artist Emily Carr, or enjoy the sweeping city views from the 130-meter high platform of the Vancouver Lookout at the Harbour Centre.

Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood, Gastown, offers quaint cobbled streets and some of the city’s most historic buildings (many now occupied by trendy boutiques and hip restaurants) while its Chinatown, established in the 1890s, buzzes with vibrancy and color.

Just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, the neighboring city of Burnaby offers the chance to explore a 1920s village, where costumed actors maintain the illusion of traveling back in time. Further afield, Whistler offers great skiing or hiking opportunities, depending on the time of year and, if time permits, the small town of Squamish is also en route and the surrounding scenery spectacular.

Harrison Hot Springs, built on the shores of Harrison Lake, is around two hours from Vancouver. The springs are among the most mineral-rich in the world and a visit to the area can be combined with a walk through Sasquatch Provincial Park.

Eating and drinking near Vancouver cruise port.

Vancouver is a multi-culturally diverse destination and nowhere is this more evident than in its culinary offer. The city is home to several outstanding restaurant districts, each with its own unique identity.

If Asian cuisine appeals, you couldn’t find yourself in a better place. Almost half of Vancouver’s residents are Asian, and consequently, Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurants are abundant in the city, the biggest concentration in Richmond and West Robson. Commercial Drive and Gastown are good all-rounders, offering a variety of excellent international restaurants.

If craft beer is your thing, Main Street offers a choice of microbreweries, alongside a good array of vegan and vegetarian eateries. If you’re looking for more casual fare, a sweet pastry or something you can eat on the go, the Granville Public Market on Granville Island has a great array of food stalls and is open daily.

Shopping in Vancouver.

If shopping appeals whilst in Vancouver, the city’s boutiques, malls and markets won’t disappoint.

Downtown Vancouver, particularly the area around Robson Street, is where you’ll find popular international brands, alongside native Canadian labels.

Gastown, Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood, is another of the city’s main shopping destinations, with a higher concentration of high-end retailers alongside stores selling antiques and First Nations art. Main Street by comparison favors more independent retail, and is the place to head if you’re looking for small boutiques and unique items.

In neighboring Burnaby, a SkyTrain ride from the city, you’ll find Metropolis at Metrotown, British Columbia’s largest shopping mall. While Granville Market, offers the chance to buy locally made crafts, art and artisanal wares, including jewelry, homewares and skincare, and is well worth a visit if you’re seeking a natively produced keepsake to remind you of your time in Vancouver.

Vancouver culture and history.

One of the most wonderful things about Vancouver is its history.

Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Indian migrants have all shaped the city, resulting in a harmonious melding of cultural influences. You’ll notice streets named after Spanish settlers who arrived in the 17th Century, while Spanish Banks, one of Vancouver’s loveliest beaches, honors the place where Captain George Vancouver met with Spanish Captains, Valdez and Galiano, in 1792.

Vancouver’s tea houses and cherry trees can be traced back to the arrival of Japanese immigrants in the late 1800s, while the city’s Chinatown began with the Chinese workers who came to labor on the railroads and in Vancouver’s mines. Vancouver’s burgeoning lumber industry later attracted Indian workers, whose presence can still be felt in the six blocks around Main Street known as Punjabi Market or Little India. Italians then followed after World War II, creating a community anchored around Commercial Drive that still lays claim to Vancouver’s best espresso bars.

Other notable moments in Vancouver’s history include Houdini suspending himself from the city’s Sun Tower in 1920 and Elvis Priestly singing at Vancouver’s Empire Stadium in 1957. More recently, Vancouver has become a popular filming destination, resulting in the city being dubbed ‘Hollywood North’ while its hosting of the 2010 Winter Olympic Winter Games saw Canada proudly take home a gold medal in the men’s hockey.

Vancouver port facilities and location.

Vancouver’s cruise terminal, Canada Place, is conveniently located near the city’s downtown, with many shops, restaurants and noteworthy attractions within walking distance.

Flyover Canada, a state of the art flight simulator that incorporates wind and other immersive effects, can be found in Canada Place, while shuttle buses and taxis are available to take you where you want to go.

Sitka is a hidden beauty on the east coast of Baranof Island in southeast Alaska. Towered over by snowy mountains in the distance, it has previously been known as the Indian River Park and Totem Park.
Sitka port guide.

A city that appears to have sprung up in the most unlikely of locations, Sitka is one of Alaska’s most picturesque port calls.

Its location celebrates everything that makes this otherworldly US state unique: snow-encrusted mountains, densely forested wilderness and intensely sapphire waters that radiate with glass-like shine. Yet the city is more than a basecamp for outdoor adventurers.

Sitka enjoys a blended history as diverse as its scenery. Russian, Tlingit and American settlers have all imprinted on the city. Art and culture thrive as richly as Pacific salmon here, and while small compared to other Alaskan communities, Sitka boasts countless treasures for visitors to admire.

Top landmarks and sights in Sitka.

In truth, a few hours in Sitka probably won’t feel like enough. On top of myriad outdoor pursuits, the city boasts some two dozen attractions, several of which are national landmarks.

Katlian Street is a good place to start your exploration, with cultural institutions such as Totem Square, Mariner’s Wall, Sitka Pioneer Home and the Alaska Native Brotherhood Building (ANB Hall). The area is the heart of Sitka’s Tlingit community, offering the chance to observe native dance displays alongside crossing off many of the city’s must-see sights.

On Lincoln Street you’ll also find a succession of Sitka’s Russian-era buildings, while Sitka Historical Society and Museum offers a good all-round insight into the city’s cultural evolution.

Things to do in Sitka.

With only 22 miles of paved roads, Sitka is a magnet for travelers looking to escape it all. Civilization here certainly isn’t how most visitors know it, and it’s this contrast to the bustle of modern society that lends Sitka such enduring appeal.

That being said, there’s no shortage of things to do on a port call here. Take a walking tour to discover more about the city’s history or enjoy a leisurely browse of its independent bookshops, galleries and gift shops.

Over 20 of Sitka’s buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, including its oldest intact dwelling, the Russian Bishop’s House, constructed in 1843. This rare example of Russian colonial architecture is among just four buildings of its kind in North America, so well worth seeking out on your travels.

Sitka’s Whale Park also presents one of the best opportunities for whale spotting in Alaska. Whales are frequent visitors to shore here (as the park’s name suggests) and, as well as boardwalks leading out to sea, the grounds come equipped with binoculars to give you a fighting chance of seeing these majestic creatures up close.

Eating and drinking near Sitka cruise port.

High-quality seafood sets the bar for Sitka’s restaurants. The waters surrounding the city offer some of the best fishing in Alaska, and every year visitors descend on Sitka for a chance to hook king salmon or an infamously weighty halibut. It’s little surprise then that you’ll find menus celebrating ingredients of Alaskan provenance all around town, much of which is plucked locally from land and sea.

But while the seafood here is top class, it’s not the only string to Sitka’s culinary bow. Alongside the restaurants serving five types of Pacific salmon, freshly caught crab, clams and cod, you’ll also find eateries specializing in stone-baked pizza, tacos, and organic smoothies. Perfect if seafood isn’t something you enjoy.

Some restaurants offer excellent views of the Sitka Sound and harbor, while others let you select your own shellfish from a fresh tank. If you’re in the mood for something strong with your meal, locally brewed and imported beers are served alongside international wines in most restaurants, and a steaming cup of hot coffee can be tracked down in a handful of cafés.

Shopping in Sitka.

Sitka’s shopping is a reflection of the cultures that have helped to shape the city over the years. You’ll find Russian nesting dolls sharing shelves with traditional Tlingit masks and miniature totem poles sold alongside decorative lacquer boxes in most gift shops.

Some Sitka jewelers will sell Alaskan gold nuggets as well as handcrafted silverware, while pure Alaskan salt is another proud export it’s possible to source on a port call to the city.

The ever-popular Sitka Public Market is a great one-stop-shop for souvenirs such as handmade soap and clothing, and the town’s independent liquor stores are your best bet if looking to stock-up on Alaskan beer.

Sitka culture and history.

Tlingit, Russian and wartime history abound in Sitka. If it’s the latter you’re looking for, make your way to Japonski Island, headquarters for the military forces during World War One. Connected to Sitka by the 1970’s O’Connell Road Bridge, the area is surrounded by offshore bunkers and gunning sites, which visitors can access by boat. Though time has inevitably taken its toll on the structures, the visit will resonate with anyone interested in wartime history.

The 107-acre Sitka National Historical Park is another worthwhile excursion to make while on shore, particularly if you’re keen to learn more about Sitka’s North American inhabitants. The site of Russian and Tlingit battle in 1804, the park contains a fine collection of totem poles and artifacts which you can discover on a mile-long trail walk. The area is ripe with towering trees, while a flat walking trail emerges next to a former Tlingit fort.

The Tlingit Clan House (back in town) offers yet another opportunity to deepen your appreciation of Sitka’s Tlingit settlers. Here, you’ll be treated to live re-enactments of native dance performances; a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the traditional culture of Alaska’s first people.

Sitka port facilities and location.

Cruises calling at Sitka tend to stop at the Old Sitka Cruise Terminal, located at Halibut Point Marine, unless there’s already a large ship in berth and it’s necessary to tender offshore. From port it’s just a five-mile trip into downtown Sitka and a free shuttle bus is provided to help you make the roundtrip journey to and from the terminal.

On arrival at the port you’ll find a selection of gift shops selling native Alaskan wares, as well as a large outdoor area where you can relax and watch the boats bobbing in the harbor. There’s also high-speed Wi-Fi available, perfect if you’re wanting to upload some of your Alaska cruise photos to Instagram or keep in touch with friends and family back home.

Gateway to the Klondike, with highlights including White Summit Pass and the cable Yukon Suspension Bridge. The gold rush coastal town of Skagway, Alaska, was previously a lawless Wild West outpost.
Skagway port guide.

Skagway is Alaska’s gateway to the Klondike where in the late 1890s more than 100,000 prospectors arrived in search of gold. Even today, frontier-style saloon-style buildings still line the town’s streets, an enduring reminder of this key period in Alaska’s gold rush history.

While feeling as though you’ve somehow fallen through time and into the Wild West is undoubtedly part of Skagway’s appeal, there’s so much more to admire, discover and experience on a port call to this southerly part of the Great Land.

John Wayne’s classic motion picture “Into Alaska” was filmed nearby and the area has inspired several novels (see our Alaska cruise book recommendations for some suggested reading).

Then there’s the scenery.

Skagway’s surroundings are nothing short of magnificent. The piercing waters hugging its shores outdone only by the frosted peaks painted on the horizon. It’s a vista best savored from a vintage passenger car on the area’s famous White Pass and Yukon Route railway.

Top landmarks and sights in Skagway.

Skagway’s gold rush era buildings are part of the National Klondike Historical Park and among the most photographed in Alaska. They remain one of the biggest draws for visitors to the area and you’ll find the cream of the crop around State Street and Broadway Street, including the town’s famous Red Onion Saloon (a former brothel) and the Arctic Brotherhood Hall.

A five-minute drive from town also brings you to another of Skagway’s most popular tourist attractions, Alaska 360. A historical re-enactment of an authentic prospector town, here you can tour a genuine gold dredger, meet Dredge Town’s ‘residents’ or brave the cold in the Chilkoot Chill experience. The latter offers you a true taste of an Alaskan winter, exposing you to sub-zero conditions of minus 40, in an innovative temperature-controlled chamber.

Things to do in Skagway.

Whether you want to try gold panning, pull up a stool in a 19th Century saloon, or take a ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route railway, you’ll get the opportunity in Skagway.

The railway is an experience you won’t want to miss. Offering exceptional scenic views on clear and bright days, the journey mimics the route prospectors made more than a century ago at the height of the Klondike gold rush. You’ll travel to the summit of the White Pass (an elevation of almost three thousand feet) passing by several noteworthy points of interest as you make your ascent.

Gold panning is one of the highlights you can enjoy on a visit to Alaska 360 (along with the aforementioned Chilkoot Chill experience) while in Skagway town you can take a tour of what was once The Red Onion Brothel from one of the resident ‘madams’.

The gold rush cemetery, located on the edge of town, offers a poignant tribute to those who lost their lives in search of fortune, and a visit to the City Museum and Sculpture Garden is your opportunity to learn more about Skagway’s fascinating history, including its gold rush connection.

Eating and drinking near Skagway cruise port.

Skagway’s dining scene is considerably more varied than most Alaskan communities although rest assured fans of the region’s exquisite seafood won’t be disappointed.

While you’ll no doubt encounter locally caught crab, halibut and other delicacies plucked from the icy depths, Skagway’s dining offer extends far beyond the sea. You’ll find smokehouse BBQ, Mexican street food, pizzerias and even some Asian flavors among the intimate restaurant offer.

A couple of independent coffee shops complete the food and drink lineup, while a native Alaskan beer is easy to source at one of Skagway’s saloon bars or its namesake brewing company.

Shopping in Skagway.

Even shopping in Skagway feels like stepping back in time.

Most of the town’s independent shops now occupy the quintessential cladded buildings that lend Skagway its unique character, and it’s difficult to avoid the temptation to pop in as you venture around.

If jewelry is your Achilles heel, then Skagway is guaranteed to delight. The town is home to multiple jewelry studios and shops selling precious stones.

Locally made artworks and produce prepared with ingredients of native origin are another of Skagway’s promising purchases. Look for the ‘made in Skagway’ mark as evidence that the product was crafted locally.

Skagway history and culture.

Cruise ships have been calling at Skagway since the 1920s and a port call here offers ample opportunity to experience some typically Alaskan pursuits native to this part of the world.

A half-hour drive along the coastal road brings you to Dyea (a boomtown in the Alaska gold rush) and the site of a historical settlement established by Tlingit natives.

Although the town has long since been lost to the landscape the remnants of a few ghostly structures still remain, together with a graveyard where an avalanche caused nearly all those buried to lose their lives on the same day. Dyea is also a breeding ground for wild salmon and it’s not uncommon for visitors to spot a brown bear by the water’s edge in July and August when peak spawning season occurs.

Of course, with its enchanting mountains and waterside location, a port call to Skagway also offers the chance to experience some exhilarating high-octane adventures. You may choose to have a go at ocean rafting on the Lyn Canal, zip-lining over treetops, or navigating hairpin turns on a dog sled powered by huskies.

Skagway port facilities and location.

Alaska cruises calling at Skagway tend to dock either at the end of Broadway or Main Street. Both are centrally located in town, allowing you to step directly off your ship and be among the bustle of Skagway in minutes.

The town’s streets are numbered, making Skagway refreshingly easy to navigate on foot. You’ll also find maps available at the local visitor’s center to help guide you. Skagway’s most historic buildings occupy the area between Second and Eight Avenue, and it’s here that you’ll find the majority of restaurants, shops and places of interest while in port.

Icy Strait Point is a grand idea brought to life in a brilliant hub of Alaskan action and adventure. Look out for whales in the picturesque wilderness or enjoy warm hospitality and hearty food ashore.
Icy Strait Point port guide.

Picture Alaska and you’ve more or less conjured Icy Strait Point. This natively owned cruise port on Chichagof Island offers the best of what makes this region unique; piercing blue waters, emerald green forest and myriad ways to enjoy the outdoors.

You may decide to spend the afternoon whale watching, join a fishing expedition or take in the scenery on a guided kayaking experience. Then there are the nature hikes, offering the chance to spot native brown bears and eagles in their natural habitat. For the truly brave, Icy Strait Point is also home to the world’s largest zip rider, which propels you over 5,000 feet from a 1,300 vertical drop. It is an adrenaline-fueled experience, perhaps not one for everyone, but definitely something you won’t forget in a hurry.

Of course, there’s much for the leisurely paced visitor to enjoy on shore too. Icy Strait Point is situated just outside Hoonah, the largest Tlingit village in the world. Near to the cruise port, you’ll also find quaint shops selling local artifacts and insightful museums expanding on local history. While along the waterfront a smattering of restaurants are ready to treat you to the freshest crab plucked from Icy Strait bay, an Alaskan delicacy you won’t want to miss.

Top landmarks and sights in Icy Strait Point.

A port call to Icy Strait Point means a choice between whether to spend your time on land, sea or in the air. The island is a natural playground; its waters as dense with whales as its forest is with brown bears.

If you harbor a desire to see either, now’s your chance. So abundant is the population here that tour guides as good as guarantee a sighting. In fact, Icy Strait Point even has its own resident whale who bucks the migration trend to stay put year-round. Nicknamed Freddy by locals, the sight of his colossal tail rising from the water or spray shooting skyward is a common sight on a port call here.

Icy Strait Point’s other claim to fame is its ZipRider, hailed as the largest zip line in the world. The descent takes you from Mount Hoonah’s summit at speeds of 60 miles per hour as the rainforest rushes by below. If you can keep your eyes open for the experience you’ll be treated to stunning views out to the bay as you descend from the mountaintop towards your beach landing.

Things to do in Icy Strait Point Alaska.

Icy Strait Point has any amount of activities to create outstanding memories. Explore the Spaaski River Valley, learn about the history and heritage of Alaska’s native Tlingit people on a tour of Hoonah village, or take a flight-seeing excursion over the UNESCO World Heritage site of Glacier Bay.

Besides its brown bear population, Chichagof Island is abound with wildlife, including Sitka black-tail deer, red squirrels, bald eagles and land otters. Discover this side of Icy Strait Point on an ATV or Jeep tour through the island’s old logging roads or take a helicopter ride to see the area’s outstanding natural beauty from a bird’s eye view.

The charming small community of Hoonah is also just a mile or so from where the ship docks at Icy Strait Point. Home to Alaska’s largest Tlingit village, a visit here offers the chance to see carved totem poles and voyage on an authentic Tlingit canoe.

Eating and drinking near Icy Strait Point cruise port.

As you might expect of a destination with a fresh supply of seafood on its doorstep, Icy Strait Point offers some of the freshest catch, native to Alaska. Dining here is a laid-back affair, with an emphasis on showcasing local produce, served in the surroundings from which it’s been sourced.

Cooked-to-order crab, locally smoked salmon and rich Alaskan reindeer are among the native delicacies you’ll find in abundance, each one offering an authentic taste of the Inside Passage. The emphasis is very much on allowing Alaska’s produce to sing so many dishes here are served simply, with a humble accompaniment and little fuss.

Of course, if you just want to sit and relax with a cold beer, you’ll be in good company too. Nearby to Icy Strait Point cruise port you’ll find a smokehouse restaurant with an outstanding outdoor deck. And, if you do get peckish at any point you can always order a slider (a small burger, just a couple of bites in size) to keep hunger contained until you re-join your ship for your evening meal.

Shopping in Icy Strait Point.

If you’re looking for an authentic Alaskan keepsake you could easily find it among the souvenir shops surrounding Icy Strait Point’s historic salmon cannery. While not extensive, the shopping offer here is staunchly community focused (each shop is 100% Alaskan-owned) and for those inclined, just a five-minute stroll from the point of disembarkation.

Jewelry, fashion and homewares are among the unique finds to take back on board, while canned Sockeye salmon, Icy Strait Point’s other notable export, is available to purchase by can or by case.

Icy Strait Point culture and history.

Although it’s only been welcoming cruise ships since 2004, Icy Strait Point has been an intrinsic part of Alaskan life since 1912 when a salmon cannery was established on the island. The cannery provided employment to the local community, and even a place to live when a fire raged through nearby Hoonah village in the 1940s, leaving many residents homeless.

After changing ownership several times, the cannery was eventually bought by the Huna Totem Corporation – a collective of Alaska natives – and Icy Strait Point developed into the privately-owned Alaskan port call visitors recognize today. The former cannery, now a museum, is still an important part of the community, giving all who come here an opportunity to learn about Alaska’s culture, Tlingit customs and Icy Strait Point’s history.

Icy Strait Point Port Facilities and Location.

Alaska cruises to Icy Strait Point call at Port Frederick, a floating dock that allows for passenger disembarkation directly to shore. Once you step off your ship, everything Icy Strait Point has to offer can be reached on foot in under ten minutes. There’s also a shuttle bus that runs between Icy Strait Point and Hoonah if you prefer to visit independently rather than by organized tour.

With snow-capped peaks, abundant wildlife and shimmering glaciers, it’s no wonder Glacier Bay National Park is the crowning jewel of Alaska’s Inside Passage.
Glacier Bay National Park Port Guide.
Spanning 3.3 million acres, as part of a 25-million-acre World Heritage Site, a Glacier Bay National Park cruise reveals some of the planet’s most remarkable tidewater glaciers.

Top landmarks and sights in Glacier Bay National Park.
There’s so much to take in on a Glacier Bay National Park cruise, it’s hard to know where to begin. Towering mountains, gargantuan icebergs and majestic glaciers stretch as far as the eye can see, disappearing onto the horizon in every direction. It’s a thrilling sight to experience from the deck of a cruise ship, or snuggled under a blanket in the warmth of your stateroom balcony, as you silently watch the world go by.

The park is home to over 1,000 glaciers, the majority of which nestle in the surrounding mountains, connecting land to sky like nature’s skyscrapers. Soaring to 15,000 feet, Glacier Bay’s ranges are the highest coastal peaks in all the world; their abundant snowfall offering the perfect breeding ground for glaciers to take shape.
One of the highlights of visiting Glacier Bay National Park is watching the prolific calving of these shimmering ice giants. Towering hundreds of feet above the water and stretching a hundred feet below, huge jagged pinnacles of ice break off in thunderous explosions, creating flotillas of icebergs. It is an awe-inspiring spectacle.
Things to do in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska.

There’s a reason cruising is considered the best way to explore Glacier Bay National Park. With dense rainforest, minimal trails (and even fewer roads), Glacier Bay’s natural waters offer the greatest access to the National Park’s awaiting treasures.

Besides the tidal glaciers, for which Glacier Bay National Park is renowned, the area is also a vibrant habitat for a rich variety of wildlife. Massive, spouting humpback whales are often spotted breaching and slapping their tails, as pods of orcas silently glide by and huge Steller sea lions bask in the sun on rocky outcrops. As you sail along the endless miles of pristine coastline, you may see brown bears, mountain goats, and moose, while the sky is filled with hundreds of bird species, including rare puffins and majestic bald eagles.
To further enrich your experience of this wilderness sanctuary, National Park Service rangers will join you on board and offer deeper insight into this fascinating region. They will present you with a host of fascinating facts about the spectacular scenery, glaciers, and wildlife you will see, and inform you about some of the conservation efforts that go on behind the scenes. They will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have about this important biosphere reserve.
Glacier Bay National Park culture and history.
It’s not just travelers who are fascinated by Glacier Bay National Park . Over the years naturalists, scientists and preservationists have all made the pilgrimage here, as equally enamored by the secrets Glacier Bay National Park keeps as the stories it has to tell.

As recently as 200 hundred years ago, the entire area was covered by ice, some 20 miles wide and 4,000 feet thick, as documented by Captain George Vancouver when he discovered the bay (then just a Glacier) in 1794. When naturalist John Muir arrived in 1879 it was a different story. The ice had retreated and he was able to navigate Glacier Bay by Canoe. Muir was captivated by the otherworldliness of the scenery he encountered and changed perceptions of Alaska as a place of desolate isolation to one of incomparable beauty.

It was scientist, William S. Cooper, however, who petitioned for Glacier Bay to be granted protected status, when he visited to conduct a series of plant studies in 1916. Overcome by its untamed wildness, he believed nature should be left to its own devices here, and in 1925 Glacier Bay became a national monument. Fifty years on, then-US-President, Jimmy Carter, signed the Alaska National Interests Lands Conservation Act, cementing Glacier Bay as the National Park and preserve we now know it as today.

Tiny Ketchikan is just three miles long and three blocks wide, but here you can be sure to find Alaska’s busiest waterfront buzzing with boat planes, fishing boats, pleasure craft, and busy fishermen.
Ketchikan port guide.

Arts thrive here and museums celebrating the town’s history are abundant. Some of the best seafood you’ll sample in the Great Land will have been plucked directly from Ketchikan’s waters and served in its restaurants just hours later. A detail that only magnifies the appeal of this enchanting port call on your Alaska cruise.

While other towns have their origins firmly rooted in the region’s gold rush years, Ketchikan’s connection with its native population is still at the heart of its community. You’ll find Alaska’s largest collection of totem poles among its many welcoming attractions, along with heritage experiences expanding on the beliefs, customs and pastimes of Alaska’s earliest settlers.

Many visitors to Ketchikan use the city as a base from which to visit Misty Fjords National Monument, just 22 miles east of the city. Part of the Tongass National Forest, Misty Fjords is one of Southern Alaska’s most beautiful natural wonders, combining sheer sea cliffs, towering rock faces and expansive fjords.

Further top Ketchikan landmarks include the Deer Mountain trail (although the 2.5-mile ascent is not for the inexperienced), while the city’s infamous Creek Street, which operated as red-light district until the 1950s, is a Ketchikan institution not to be missed.

Kayaking expeditions, guided floatplane tours and Tomcar karting in Tongass National Forest may all appeal to those looking for more adventurous pursuits in Ketchikan, while a number of fishing charters are available for guests who might like to try their hand at landing halibut or king crab.

Eating and drinking near Ketchikan cruise port.

The advantage of living alongside a thriving stock of freshwater salmon and crab isn’t lost on Ketchikan’s kitchens. Around half of the city’s restaurants specialize in fresh seafood and you’ll find some of the most popular establishments just a short walk from Ketchikan cruise terminal.

Freshly caught crab is a delicacy you’ll come across on countless menus, chowder (a New England and Nova Scotia favorite) offers a hearty way to warm-up with a dollop of sourdough or cornbread, while smoked and grilled fish also feature strongly among Ketchikan’s excellent seafood options.

Besides its reputation for serving up some of the freshest seafood in Alaska, Ketchikan also offers diners dishes inspired by the U.S and Canada. Pizza parlors and hamburger bars, as well as a handful of cafés selling fresh baked goods and coffees, are among the alternative choices you’ll find in Ketchikan if you’re looking to swerve fish on your visit.

Shopping in Ketchikan.

Ketchikan might not be the first place that springs to mind when you think about souvenir shopping but it’s actually a great place in Alaska to source Native crafts, canned seafood and locally made jewelry you can’t find elsewhere on your travels. In other words, if you’re looking for that cherished Alaska keepsake, Ketchikan may yet come up trumps.

It’s this nature of product that you’ll find first and foremost in the independent galleries, museums and gift shops around town, along with items that celebrate Alaska’s native heritage and history.

Where products claim to be locally made, look for the tell-tale ‘made in Alaska’ symbol to confirm this, also donated by a silver hand emblem. Ketchikan has a few souvenir shops dotted along Creek Street together with a small community shopping center on Tongass Avenue.

Ketchikan culture and history.

Ketchikan’s culture is some of the richest and most varied in Alaska, and the city has done a fantastic job in preserving the legacy of its Tlingit heritage. A port call here offers myriad ways in which to immerse yourself in this side of Alaska, not least in Ketchikan’s collection of totem poles, which is renowned for being the largest display in Alaska and one of the best examples the world over.

Purchase a combined ticket to gain entry to both the Totem Heritage Center at Ketchikan cruise port and Tongass Historical Museum, where you can experience totem poles being carved in front of your eyes, together with many fascinating exhibits expanding on Tlingit culture.

For a more interactive experience, seek out Saxman Native Village and Totem Row Park or Kasaan Totems Historic District. Both locations offer the chance to embark on a guided tour through a thriving native community and deepen your appreciation for the traditions and practices that underpin Tlingit life.

Ketchikan port facilities and location.

Ketchikan has four berths for cruise ships. Berths one and two are located on Front Street and the waterfront promenade, and are the most centrally located. Three and Four are just a few minutes’ walk into town. You’ll find a visitors’ center offering information and maps, opposite berth two. A self-guided walking tour begins from here, which you can follow at your leisure. If all four berths are occupied your ship will tender and transport you from your ship to shore by shuttle.

This little spot nestled on the southern tip of Alaska, close to the Canadian border, emanates natural beauty at every turn.
Misty Fjords port guide.
Misty Fjords can only be described as a true haven of calm. As you sail the glasslike waters, gaze out at looming mountains, rolling green hills, sparkling waterfalls, and of course, acres and acres of forest.

Part of the Tongass National Forest, Misty Fjords National Monument is a protected area of wilderness. As well as remarkable scenery, it’s home to an abundance of wildlife from orcas and seals in the water, to brown bears and wolves on land.

Top landmarks and sights in Misty Fjords.
Scottish-American explorer John Muir once described Misty Fjords as one of the most beautiful places he’d ever seen. Whether you agree with him or not, a sail-by in this part of the world will certainly leave you with a sense of tranquility, and appreciation for the surrounding landscape. At every turn be met with postcard-perfect views of pine trees, mountains, waterfalls, or glaciers, all perfectly complimented by the vision of calm fjord waters in the foreground.

As you sail, as well as taking in the natural landscape, you could also sight a range of different wildlife. Keep an eye out for Alaska salmon, otters, seals, sea lions, porpoises, and even orca whales in the water, swans, herons, and puffins closer to the shore, and black-legged kittiwakes, hummingbirds, and bald eagles overhead. Be sure to watch the views inland too, and perhaps spot moose, mountain goats, wolverines, wolves, martens, or even the more elusive brown bears and black bears.

Things to do in Misty Fjords.
During a sail-by in Misty Fjords you may find you simply wish to find a cozy nook out on deck -perhaps wrapped in a blanket with a hot chocolate in hand – and lose yourself in the surrounding views. This part of your voyage could well end up begin your favorite, as you’re given the gift of time and there’s no where you’re expected to be and nothing you’re expected to do.

For a slightly more involved experience, keep your eyes peeled for all manner of wildlife with your camera or phone in hand, ready to capture all the different creatures you spot. If you’ve brought binoculars along, even better. While it’s unlikely that you won’t see any animals, whether on land, in the water, or in the skies above, if you are unlucky the perfect Alaska landscape that surrounds you will certainly be photo worthy.

While in Misty Fjords, you may wish to learn a little more about this part of the world. Why not head to the library on board, where you’ll find a wonderful range of books that can educate you about Alaska’s culture, history, and wildlife? Or you could choose a novel to get lost in while you sail these peaceful waters.

Misty Fjords culture and history.
The 2,200,000 million acres of land that make up the Misty Fjords National Monument were given protection as a parkland in 1978, when then President Jimmy Carter declared it such under the Antiquities Act. Two years later, the area was reduced to 2,142,243 acres, and the land became designated as Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness.

Historically Misty Fjords, as part of the larger Tongass National Forest, is believed to have been home to the Tlinglit, Haida, and Tsimshian people of Alaska. It’s not thought that Europeans visited the land until the late 18th century, when British explorer George Vancouver arrived here. Sailing the Behm Canal area, George Vancouver also came across New Eddystone Rock, a remarkable tiny island made of a 237-foot-high pillar of basalt.

You’ll pass Misty Fjords on an Alaska voyage, either en route to or from Ketchikan. Throughout this entire region, ponder the lives and culture of the native peoples who have lived here for millennia.

Top tips for Misty Fjords.
Weather.
The weather in Misty Fjords, and indeed throughout the southwest tip of Alaska, stays fairly cold. The warmest time of year is July when temperatures reach around 18 degrees Celsius. The coldest, on the other hand, is January when you can expect around 0 degrees Celsius.

From historic houses, dedicated to legendary artists, to exquisite castles and Victorian buildings with royal connections, Victoria is awash with sights to see and experiences to savor.

Overlooking the harbor, you’ll find one of the city’s oldest and most famous hotels, the Fairmont Empress. Opened in 1908, the building is a classic example of turn-of-the-century architecture, with countless celebrities and royal visitors electing to stay here over the years.

Traveling just twenty minutes from downtown Victoria brings you to Hatley Park, an Edwardian estate that’s now a national historic site.

A Victoria food and drink tour is the ideal way to appreciate the excellent caliber of the city’s farmed, fished and bottled produce.

Victoria culture and history.

Indigenous, British and Asian settlers have all helped to shape Victoria over the years, while the city’s connection to British royalty (Fort Victoria was named for Queen Victoria) has also left a lasting impression.

For thousands of years, Vancouver Island was exclusively inhabited by First Nations People, until the arrival of Captain James Cook in 1778 marked the start of non-aboriginal settlers. The Fraser River Gold rush of 1858 later attracted over 30,000 prospectors in 1858, and soon after Chinese immigrants followed to work on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Victoria was proclaimed the capital of British Columbia on July 21st 1871 and throughout the 20th century evolved rapidly. Today the city is home to Canada’s western naval base and educational institutions including the University of Victoria. Its location affords it a pleasant climate, and despite its modernization, the city still retains deep historical ties with its First Nations heritage.

Stunning scenery – such as Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge – and incredible wildlife are just some highlights of this vibrant, beautiful city.
Vancouver port guide.

Consistently rated among the world’s best cities, Vancouver’s mass appeal knows no bounds. Surrounded by sea, verdant countryside and mountain peaks, the city’s position in British Columbia is an attraction in itself, but Vancouver is much more than a gateway to the Sea-to-Sky highway and the snowy slopes of Whistler.

With a dense multicultural population, the city is a diverse and cosmopolitan destination, rich with art, history and a unique culinary identity that’s gaining momentum all the time. Beyond Vancouver, you’ll find opportunities to hike, ski and kayak, as well as the chance to bathe in the world’s most mineral-dense thermal springs.

Top landmarks and sights in Vancouver.

From characterful neighborhoods like Gastown and Chinatown, to Stanley Park and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, Vancouver offers a dynamic blend of cultural and natural treasures to explore. You’ll find impressive feats of architecture and engineering, as well as adrenaline-fueled experiences to set your pulse racing.

A walk through Stanley Park is an absolute must. The 1,000-acre space is an oasis in every sense of the word, and the city’s number one attraction. Created in 1888, Stanley Park is unlike anything you’ve experienced, combining rainforest, beaches and historic landmarks with walking trails, ambient restaurants and an aquarium offering countless species of exotic fish.

In North Vancouver, The Capilano Suspension Bridge and the Grouse Mountain are among the top landmarks to seek out. The bridge snakes a 140-meter route through the treetops, 85-meters above the Capilano River. The scenery is magnificent and the experience is truly unique.

Grouse Mountain, just 15-minutes from Vancouver downtown, offers an abundance of year-round attractions. Take the Skyride, North America’s largest aerial tramway, to the summit for alpine shopping, mountainside dining and ranger talks at the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife.

Things to do in Vancouver, British Columbia.

There’s no shortage of things to do on a port call to Vancouver. From museums and galleries to shopping, historical neighborhoods, and an abundance of outdoor pursuits, Vancouver is a city that really can claim to have it all.

Spend an afternoon browsing the contemporary collections at the Vancouver Art Gallery, including works by British Columbian artist Emily Carr, or enjoy the sweeping city views from the 130-meter high platform of the Vancouver Lookout at the Harbour Centre.

Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood, Gastown, offers quaint cobbled streets and some of the city’s most historic buildings (many now occupied by trendy boutiques and hip restaurants) while its Chinatown, established in the 1890s, buzzes with vibrancy and color.

Just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, the neighboring city of Burnaby offers the chance to explore a 1920s village, where costumed actors maintain the illusion of traveling back in time. Further afield, Whistler offers great skiing or hiking opportunities, depending on the time of year and, if time permits, the small town of Squamish is also en route and the surrounding scenery spectacular.

Harrison Hot Springs, built on the shores of Harrison Lake, is around two hours from Vancouver. The springs are among the most mineral-rich in the world and a visit to the area can be combined with a walk through Sasquatch Provincial Park.

Eating and drinking near Vancouver cruise port.

Vancouver is a multi-culturally diverse destination and nowhere is this more evident than in its culinary offer. The city is home to several outstanding restaurant districts, each with its own unique identity.

If Asian cuisine appeals, you couldn’t find yourself in a better place. Almost half of Vancouver’s residents are Asian, and consequently, Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurants are abundant in the city, the biggest concentration in Richmond and West Robson. Commercial Drive and Gastown are good all-rounders, offering a variety of excellent international restaurants.

If craft beer is your thing, Main Street offers a choice of microbreweries, alongside a good array of vegan and vegetarian eateries. If you’re looking for more casual fare, a sweet pastry or something you can eat on the go, the Granville Public Market on Granville Island has a great array of food stalls and is open daily.

Shopping in Vancouver.

If shopping appeals whilst in Vancouver, the city’s boutiques, malls and markets won’t disappoint.

Downtown Vancouver, particularly the area around Robson Street, is where you’ll find popular international brands, alongside native Canadian labels.

Gastown, Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood, is another of the city’s main shopping destinations, with a higher concentration of high-end retailers alongside stores selling antiques and First Nations art. Main Street by comparison favors more independent retail, and is the place to head if you’re looking for small boutiques and unique items.

In neighboring Burnaby, a SkyTrain ride from the city, you’ll find Metropolis at Metrotown, British Columbia’s largest shopping mall. While Granville Market, offers the chance to buy locally made crafts, art and artisanal wares, including jewelry, homewares and skincare, and is well worth a visit if you’re seeking a natively produced keepsake to remind you of your time in Vancouver.

Vancouver culture and history.

One of the most wonderful things about Vancouver is its history.

Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Indian migrants have all shaped the city, resulting in a harmonious melding of cultural influences. You’ll notice streets named after Spanish settlers who arrived in the 17th Century, while Spanish Banks, one of Vancouver’s loveliest beaches, honors the place where Captain George Vancouver met with Spanish Captains, Valdez and Galiano, in 1792.

Vancouver’s tea houses and cherry trees can be traced back to the arrival of Japanese immigrants in the late 1800s, while the city’s Chinatown began with the Chinese workers who came to labor on the railroads and in Vancouver’s mines. Vancouver’s burgeoning lumber industry later attracted Indian workers, whose presence can still be felt in the six blocks around Main Street known as Punjabi Market or Little India. Italians then followed after World War II, creating a community anchored around Commercial Drive that still lays claim to Vancouver’s best espresso bars.

Other notable moments in Vancouver’s history include Houdini suspending himself from the city’s Sun Tower in 1920 and Elvis Priestly singing at Vancouver’s Empire Stadium in 1957. More recently, Vancouver has become a popular filming destination, resulting in the city being dubbed ‘Hollywood North’ while its hosting of the 2010 Winter Olympic Winter Games saw Canada proudly take home a gold medal in the men’s hockey.

Vancouver port facilities and location.

Vancouver’s cruise terminal, Canada Place, is conveniently located near the city’s downtown, with many shops, restaurants and noteworthy attractions within walking distance.

Flyover Canada, a state of the art flight simulator that incorporates wind and other immersive effects, can be found in Canada Place, while shuttle buses and taxis are available to take you where you want to go.
