This afternoon we reach Juneau, the state capital and a fascinating city accessible only by sea or air. Here you can pan for gold, watch salmon swim up one of the world's largest fishing ladders or visit the mighty Mendenhall Glacier. DAY 11 Skagway More than 20,000 gold prospectors passed through the town of Skagway on their way to Yukon in the famous Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Today we can relive part of their journey aboard the White Pass & Yukon Railway, which chugs through wonderful scenery along the Skagway River. DAY 12 Glacier Bay We spend the day cruising in some of the world's most spectacular scenery where the awesome scale of nature dwarfs the ship. We pass deep fjords with sheer rock walls covered with thick forests and an abundance of plants. Moose, bears, seals and even humpback whales have made their home here. DAY 13 Ketchikan We arrive in the lively frontier town of Ketchikan, once the haunt of gold prospectors. Here, the shops and houses have been restored to their former glory. Perhaps visit nearby Totem Bight where the ethnic museum and display of totem poles give a glimpse of the history and culture of the area.
