Alaska & Canada – An expedition through glaciers, fjords, and untamed wilderness
Departure
A journey into the continent’s most untamed nature: from the cosmopolitan streets of Vancouver to the ancient glaciers of Alaska, sailing the legendary Inside Passage aboard a cruise ship with a private balcony stateroom.
Highlights
- Inside Passage: sailing one of the world’s most spectacular maritime corridors, with fjords, forests, and the chance to spot whales and orcas.
- Glaciers up close: cruising in front of the breathtaking Hubbard Glacier, one of the most impressive in North America.
- Authentic Alaska: Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Icy Strait Point — each stop with its own identity, from indigenous culture and gold rush history to raw wildlife.
Departure – August 20, 2026
This is not just a trip — it’s a carefully crafted blend of exploration, comfort, and pure nature. Designed for those who seek more than destinations: experiences that leave a lasting mark.
The 17-day journey begins in Vancouver, one of the world’s most sophisticated and balanced cities, where nature and urban design effortlessly coexist. From there, the group heads to Whistler for an alpine mountain day, before boarding the Norwegian Cruise Line ship (balcony stateroom) to sail the legendary Inside Passage — a sheltered, panoramic maritime route leading to southeastern Alaska.
Alaska’s port calls reveal the best of the territory: the indigenous culture and totem poles of Ketchikan, the glaciers of Juneau — one of the most isolated capitals in the world — the historic gold rush town of Skagway, the wild wildlife of Icy Strait Point, and the majestic cruise past Hubbard Glacier. Disembarking in Whittier, a scenic train ride leads to Anchorage, closing the Alaskan chapter of the adventure.
The trip wraps up in Victoria, with its British-heritage elegance, a full day sailing the harbor, and a visit to the iconic Butchart Gardens, before returning to Vancouver.
