Gardens, Parliament Building and the impressive Empress Hotel. DAY 8 - Morning free in Vancouver before an afternoon transfer to join your magnificent Holland America Line cruise ship in Vancouver harbour. The ship will leave at 5.00pm. DAY 9 - Your cruise has begun and ahead lie days of luxurious relaxation and exploration as your ship traces the outline of North Americas most scenic coastal landscape. As you cruise the Inside Passage for the first time, keep a watchful eye open for breaching whales, soaring eagles, shoreline grizzlies and inquisitive seals. This is a natural playground for wildlife. DAY 10 - Scenic cruising of Tracy Arm and Sawyer Glacier (weather permitting), followed by an early afternoon arrival in the capital of Alaska, Juneau. You are free to explore, or perhaps visit the mighty Mendenhall Glacier. DAY 11 - A morning arrival in Skagway, a lively relic of the famous Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Wooden sidewalks and turn-of-the century buildings recall the riotous living of those days. DAY 12 - Glacier Bay will be the scenic highlight of your cruise. Great ice castles float serenely in radiant blue-green water. And, as a glacier calves and thousands of tons of ice crash into the mirror-calm water, so a thunderous sound echoes across the bay. DAY 13 - Early afternoon arrival in Ketchikan, a quaint weathered town clinging to the mountainside. You may wish to take a seaplane flight over the spectacular Misty Fjords, explore the Totem Poles Park or simply enjoy a lunch of fresh Alaskan salmon. DAY 14 - As you cruise the Inside Passage back towards Vancouver, the scenic splendours continue to unroll before you, a wonderland of ice and rock, forest and river, which will remain in your memory and photo album for a long time to come.
DAY 15 - Morning arrival in Vancouver followed by a transfer to the airport for your return flight. DAY 16 - Arrival in the UK.
Please note: Passengers travelling from Manchester will spend two nights in Vancouver before the Alaska Cruise and one night after the cruise. Therefore your itinerary may differ slightly.
