See the wilds of a great frontier
Immerse yourself in Tlingit culture and experience the outpost atmosphere that prevails in charming, mountain-ringed seaside towns. Sail a pristine wilderness of misty fjords, lush forests and gleaming walls of ice, pan for gold like prospectors of old, and hear tales of a region where a Wild West spirit still feels very much alive.
Alaska is personally one of my favorite places in the world. The wildlife, the wild landscape, and the wild nights! I don't need an excuse to get back to Alaska, but what a great one to get you there with us! Viking is one of my favorite small ship experiences, with only 930 passengers on board, I never knew where 900 people were when I was onboard with them in Alaska in 2022. There are no crowded restaurants or long buffet lines; there are plenty of loungers at the pool, and intimate evening lounge spaces that fits each traveler's unique vibe. This ship also features all-veranda staterooms so there are no interior cabins or oceanview - everyone gets a balcony! Oh and the Nordic Spa is heavenly! The landscape is the priority but its also nice to have a tranquil, scandanvian-chic ship to come back to after a day of exploring!
--- ITINERARY ---
DAY 1 - Embark Vancouver, Canada
Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Vancouver is one of Canada’s most diverse cities and the influence of its multi-ethnic society is reflected in the city’s multitude of restaurants and public settings
DAY 2 - Scenic Sailing: The Inside Passage
Stretching some 500 miles along the Alaska Panhandle, the Inside Passage is a pristine wilderness of fjord-like channels. It winds its way through a vast maze of islands laden with emerald-green forests and strewn with glistening glaciers. Nature is at her most magnificent here, tranquil and hushed. Unspoiled waterways weave their way past tiny coastal villages and a breathtaking array of snowcapped mountains and pine-covered hills. Sea lions and otters reside in these waters, and moose and brown bears are often spotted as they wade along the coast.
DAY 3 - Ketchikan, Alaska
Ketchikan is set among the soaring coastal mountains and sloping woodlands of the Tongass National Forest. The gateway into America’s 49th state, it is known to travelers journeying north by ship as Alaska’s “First City” and the “Salmon Capital of the World” for its thriving fishing industry. Ketchikan also embraces its rich and enduring Tlingit heritage; it is home to the most standing totem poles anywhere in the world. The artful icons are sprinkled throughout the town as well as its parks and cultural centers.
Included Experience: Potlatch Totem Park & Ketchikan History
EXCLUSIVE COMPLIMENTARY EXCURSION: Cirillo Travel Group has a direct relationship and has sailed personally with a Wildlife Cruise company in Ketchikan that we love! For guests who book with us. a complimentary WIldlife Cruise Option is available should you not want to do the included or optional experiences offered by Viking - Selection of this will come after your Viking-provided excursions are selected for your cruise.
Optional Experiences include Ziplining, Misty Fjords Cruise, Float Plane Bear Watch, Crabbing, Fishing & more!
DAY 4 - Sitka, Alska
Sitka has long been inhabited by the indigenous Tlingit people. Fur trading brought Russian settlers here in 1799 as part of a colonial merchant company. The town grew to become the capital of Russian Alaska, and remains of those days can be found in the Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the Russian Bishop’s House, the latter built by the Tlingit with guidance from Finnish carpenters in the 1840s. Today’s Sitka is a delight to explore by foot, its streets dotted with inviting art galleries displaying artwork inspired by the region’s natural beauty and rich heritage.
Included Experience: Panoramic Tour of Sitka & Theatrical Performance
Juneau is the only capital of the continental US that is inaccessible by car. The dramatic fjord-like terrain of steep, rugged mountains and vast glaciers isolates the city, creating a remote setting with limited access from the rest of the mainland. Its seclusion along the scenic Gastineau Channel also makes it one of the most picturesque cities in the world. In ancient times, the Auke and Taku Tlingit tribes fished these waters. Their descendants have kept artistic and cultural traditions alive throughout a long history of European and Russian explorations.
Included Experience: Nature Walk at Pristine Eaglecrest Ski Resort
Optional Experiences include Mendenhall Glacier, whale watching, flightseeing, salmon or halibut fishing, glacier trekking, dog sledding & more!
DAY 6 - Skagway, Alaska
Skagway was once the gateway to the gold-rich Canadian Yukon and is set in a stunning glacial valley. One remnant of its mining past is the narrow-gauge railway that follows the original Yukon trail to the historic White Pass high in the surrounding mountains. Completed in 1900 as a means of transit for prospectors to reach goldfields during the Klondike gold rush, the route is preserved as a heritage railway. About 100 of the town’s buildings date from the gold rush era. Legend says that the town was named for a mythical woman who turned herself to stone at Skagway’s bay.
Included Experience: Historic Skagway & White Pass Summit
Optional Experiences include dogsledding, trail bike rides, native cultural experiences, kayaking, wildlife safaris, ATV rides, golfing, hiking & more!
DAY 7 - Icy Strait Point, Alaska
Icy Strait Point is a recreated village outside the small town of Hoonah, a thriving Tlingit community. A former canning and packing station in a coastal woodland setting, Icy Strait Point is steeped in Native American heritage. The charming island hamlet has been beautifully restored by the local Tlingit people to its original character, offering visitors a unique insight into traditional life in an Alaskan fishing village. Today, the old canning station is a museum chronicling salmon and subsistence fishing.
Included Experience: Take the Skyglider Gondola, Enjoy a Tribal Dance and Cultural Legends performance & Explore the Waterfront Village On Your Own
Optional Experiences include bear search, wildlife cruises, ATV rides, ziplining, kayaking, hiking, jeep exploration & more!
DAY 9 - Valdez, Alaska
Valdez enjoys a breathtaking setting at the tip of a deep-cut fjord in Prince William Sound. The glacial Chugach Mountains rise up all around the city, adding to its scenic allure. In its early days, the promise of gold attracted explorers and seekers of wealth, but the land proved barren. The town finally experienced its economic boom as North America’s northernmost ice-free port. Today, it is the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline that carries oil south from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic coast.
Included Experience: Shuttle Around Town & Explore the Waterfront Village On Your Own - Choose to visit Valdez Brewing Company to enjoy some of Alaska's best brews!
Optional Experiences include kayaking, helicopter tours, white-water rafting, UTV rides, wildlife cruises, tasting tour & more!
DAY 10 - Seward, Alaska
Seward enjoys a magnificent setting between snowcapped peaks and Resurrection Bay, a pristine harbor ringed by mountains. The Alaskan city was named after Abraham Lincoln’s secretary of state who defied public opinion to pursue the purchase of Alaska from Russia. Seward is steeped in marine culture, from its busy fishing port to the excellent exhibits and preservation efforts of the Alaska SeaLife Center. It is also the famed starting point of the Iditarod Trail, the dogsled race route originally laid to link Seward to inland Alaska.
The ship docks in Seward overnight. Acting a a floating hotel, enjoy dinner in town, or the evening out as late as you want in Seward!
Included Experience: Alaska SeaLife Center
Optional Experiences include Kenai Fjords by boat, dogsledding, glacier hikes, wildlife cruises, rafting, helicopter tours, kayaking & more!
