Seward, Alaska
Seward is a fishing village surrounded by the unrivaled beauty of the Kenai Wildlife Refuge, the Alaska Maritime National Refuge, Chugach National Forest and the Kenai Fjords National Park.  
As you might expect, opportunities for up-close and personal encounters with wildlife abound.

Hubbard Glacier (cruising)
Hubbard Glacier is the one glacier in the world that does not move at a glacial pace.  Quite the opposite.  In fact, in 1986, Hubbard Glacier - the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent - moved an average of just under 5.5 feet per hour.  Keep a watchful eye as you sail through the Yakutat Bay, as you may be a witness to geological history.

Juneau, Alaska
Where Earl Grey meets Eddie Bauer® would be a good way to describe the charms of Alaska's capital city.  Here the pioneering spirit lives on in an interesting mix of cosmopolitan chic and frontier ruggedness.  Visit the Alaska State Museum and its exquisite collection of Russian Orthodox and Gold Rush relics.

Skagway, Alaska
It's doubtful you'll succumb to gold fever, but if any place on earth can summon up the thrill of prospecting, it's Skagway.  By embracing its gold-rush past, Skagway has managed to preserve a frontier spirit complete with saloons and dance-hall revues.
If the spirit does overtake you, passage on the White Pass & Yukon Railway or a ride on the Klondike Highway will take you to places where you can roll up your sleeves and do some prospecting of your own.

Icy Strait Point, Alaska
Fifty miles west of Juneau and at the mouth of Glacier Bay, lies historic Icy Strait Point.  Travelers have the unique opportunity to experience Tlingit culture, superior wildlife viewing opportunities and years of Alaskan history.

Ketchikan, Alaska
In addition to being the jumping-off point for seaplane excursions into the Misty Fjords National Monument and its 2.2 million acres of wilderness nirvana, Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit tribe.  Another "must-see" here is the world's largest collection of totem poles.  
You can learn what motivates someone to turn a piece of lumber into a towering work of art at the Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight and Totem Heritage Center.

Inside Passage (cruising)
This is one of the most famously beautiful passages in all the world.  It features virtually everything you came to Alaska hoping to see, including rain forests, glaciers, fjords and white-capped peaks.  
All of which create a setting that's perfect for viewing whales and sea lions.

Vancouver,  BRITISH COLUMBIA
Every bit as cosmopolitan as Seattle, with a distinctive European flair, Vancouver is the Canadian jewel of Puget Sound.  From the cobblestone streets of the Gastown district to Little Italy and Chinatown, Vancouver has something for everyone.
