Seattle,
Washington
The Emerald City of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is known
for its stunning waterfront. "Catch" a salmon at Pike Place
Market, ride to the top of the Space Needle, sample a local
microbrew in funky Fremont, or down a cup of java in the
coffee capital of the world.

Juneau, Alaska
Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau
Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall
Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door.
Juneau is the place to let your imagination run wild.
Explore the lush Tongass National Forest. Visit the rustic
shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike,
whale watch, flightsee or fish. There’s no end to the
adventure because of the long daylight hours. Climb aboard
the Mt. Roberts Tramway for a great spot to hike and shoot a
souvenir photo. |

Hubbard Glacier Cruising
Come face to face with a gigantic wall of ice that fills
your view and extends for miles in either direction. It’s a
titan on the move, advancing faster than almost any other
glacier on the continent. When it reaches saltwater at
Disenchantment Bay, the imposing architecture of this
behemoth measures five miles in width and 40 stories in
height, dwarfing even the largest ships. As you glide along
this sparkling blue marvel, watch for seals basking on ice
floes, listen for the loud, deep rumble and wait for the
mighty crack and thunderous crash. At any moment, you could
be witness to an eternal drama as nature’s hand sculpts
icebergs before your wondering eyes. |

Sitka, Alaska
The onion domes of St. Michael’s Cathedral are your first
clue that Sitka was once a Russian settlement – the colonial
headquarters of Count Baranof, no less. Discover the echoes
of its heyday at a performance by the New Archangel Dancers.
Be greeted by Tlingit native people, then stand on the spot
where the United States took possession of Alaska in 1867
for $7.2 million, less than two cents per acre. The dramatic
setting in the shadow of Mt. Edgecumbe is one of the
lovliest in the Great Land. Take a stroll through old growth
forest in Sitka National Historical Park, shop the downtown
district, and poke around the Sheldon Jackson Museum for a
close-up look at some of the city's most prized arts, crafts
and Russian relics. |

Ketchikan, Alaska
Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways,
Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes
the mountains with a cheerful air. Besides the main
attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum,
Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, try a
flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National
Monument--a transformational adventure not to be missed.
These deep water fjords left by retreating glaciers left
granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and
countless waterfalls cascading into placid waters. The
souvenir photos you'll take from the pontoons of the plane
are worth the trip alone. |

Victoria, B.C.
A touch of England awaits: afternoon tea, double-decker
buses, the famed Butchart Gardens – a brilliant tapestry of
color spread across 50 blooming acres. Sample shore
excursions: A Taste of Victoria: City Lights with Wine &
Chocolate; Ale Trail & Pub Tour. |
