Seattle Sightseeing Tour
Nestled within the stunning landscapes of mountains and sea, Sitka exudes charm as a captivating island community. Its breathtaking panoramas offer glimpses of abundant wildlife, from majestic whales and brown bears to graceful deer, playful sea otters, and a myriad of bird species. This destination offers superb fishing and a wealth of historical attractions.
Juneau, often dubbed as "Alaska's peak experience," owes its reputation to the awe-inspiring glacier vistas found in spots like Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields, and Glacier Bay National Park. Embark on a kayak adventure along the protected waterways, soar above the rugged landscape on a flightseeing tour, stroll through the historic downtown, or even indulge in a bit of gold panning. Just a short journey from Juneau lies the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, spanning nearly 12 milesan excursion well worth the effort.
This is the allure of Alaskathe chance to witness glaciers as awe-inspiring as Dawesand getting there is half the excitement. From Stephens Passage, your ship will navigate into the glacially sculpted Endicott Arm, Tracy's lesser-traveled southern sibling. However, Endicott holds its own unique charm. At its head lies the majestic Dawes Glacier. But first, the 31-mile fjord. Towering granite cliffs. Cascading waterfalls. Spruce and hemlock trees clinging to steep slopes. It's the epitome of untouched wilderness. Keep an eye out for "bergy bits," floating ice chunks, some resembling sculptures, others serving as resting spots for seals. Watch for bears, mountain goats, and whales as well. As we near the glacier, listen for thunderous cracks and have your camera at the ready. Dawes is an active tidewater glacier, constantly receding and calving massive ice chunks into the sea. Standing at 600 feet tall and half a mile wide, this azure-hued, formidable glacier may just be the highlight of your Alaska cruise.
Venture where the north wind doesnt blow. Known for this iconic motto, Icy Strait Point beckons adventurers in search of new frontiers. Breathtaking and exciting, Icy Strait Point takes you where the wild things are. Its one of the few places in the world where wildlife outnumbers the human population. A trip here promises to satiate your thirst for adventure. Embark on a cruise from Icy Strait Point and immerse yourself in Alaska's breathtaking landscapes, alongside a myriad of excursion possibilities that Norwegian Cruise Line has to offer.
Thanks to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is surrounded by some of the world's most lush wilderness. Its Tlingit Indian name, Kach Khanna, translates to spread wings of the eagle, a fitting tribute to the majestic raptors often spotted atop Sitka trees during Alaska cruises to Ketchikan (Ward Cove)."
Roam the spacious lawns of the stunning Butchart Gardens, adorned with exotic flora, unusual topiary, and exquisite fountains. Explore historic Bastion Square, the treasures of Chinatown, and the many sights and sounds along the boardwalk of the Inner Harbour.
