Alaska
So lets begin our fabulous ~ 7-Nite Hubbard Glacier Cruise ~
As the “Radiance of the Seas” sets sail from beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia
As the Radiance of the Seas set sail from the Port of Vancouver we cruised along the Inside Passage of the beautiful British Columbia coastline.
Our first port of call the following afternoon in Juneau.
Juneau, the capital city of Alaska is most definitely the home of the spectacular scenery.
One can take a high-speed catamaran ride designed for whale watching or take a fully narrated helicopter tour and fly over some amazing glaciers.
Best yet, is exploring Juneau on foot. For there are more trails than roads.
The city is rich with Gold Rush Days charm and captivating history. Juneau also offers some great shopping deals and memorable finds for all.

Late that evening we set sail again with our early morning arrival in Skagway.
Skagway called the gateway of the Klondike is preserved as a national histories park which has fully maintained its charm and flavor of the “Gold Rush Days“.
You can still take a walk along the old charm wooden sidewalks in this historic town.
Skagway is the home of the one of the oldest narrow-gauge railroads in existence. Be sure to ride the world famous White Pass & Yukon Railroad to endure some fabulous scenery.

After a full day in Skagway, that evening we set sail again with our next arrival cruising slowly through the Hubbard Glacier.
One can never imagine the beauty of a glacier, until you are actually there.
The calving of the glacier is untouched beauty at its best, with the silence and the cold chilling feeling as you hear the odd roar as the glacier calves and sinks into the ocean.
The Hubbard Glacier is most definitely the place to view some of the most unforgettable sights in the world.

Late that afternoon after our amazing Hubbard Glacier experience, we set sail and cruised the entire evening and nite with the afternoon arrival the following day in Ketchikan.
Ketchikan was the supply base and entry port for the “Gold Rush Days”. Much of the towns colourful past is still in evidence.
Be sure to visit the nearby Indian Villages to see the beautiful carved Totem Poles and hear the fascinating legends that follow them.
For some great entertainment and fun, be sure to take in a Lumberjack Show.
