Cruise Itinerary Expand All

Day 1: vancouver, british columbia, canada.

Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences. Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and because it's a compact, walkable city right on the edge of nature, adding on just a couple of extra days to explore will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so attractive to visitors.

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront, 'Canada Place' (cruise terminal) can service up to three luxury cruise ships at any given time.

Day 2: Cruising At Sea

Day 3: ketchikan, alaska, usa.

Ketchikan sits at the southern end of Alaska’s Inside Passage -  the canned salmon capital of the world, it’s a hub for fishing and outdoor sports. It’s also home to three tribes of Northwest Coast Indians, making it a great place to get a taste for the local culture.

Top Things to Do in Ketchikan:

• visit Totem Bight State Park
• venture past the town limits into Tongass National Forest
• visit Ketchikan's own Saxman Native Village
• a myriad of outdoor adventures from fishing to zip-lining!

Day 4: Glacier Bay (Scenic Cruising), Alaska, USA

The marine wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park includes tidewater glaciers, snow-capped mountain ranges, ocean coastlines, deep fjords, and freshwater rivers and lakes. Glacier Bay is equally rich in wildlife. An Alaska cruise that ventures up the Bay usually yields sightings of black and brown bears and mountain goats, especially in small ships that cruise close to the shore. Humpback whales have been increasing in the water of the Bay, and orca or killer whales are seen cruising through the water in search of harbor seals.

Day 5: Juneau, Alaska, USA

Juno, commonly known as Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. Only accessible by sea or air, Juneau's history, culture, and topography have resulted in many interesting activities for visitors to enjoy, all in the heart of Alaska's majestic mountains, rivers, glaciers, and forests.

Top Things to Do in and around Juneau:

• dog sledding
• explore the gorgeous Mendenhall Glacier
• whale watching
• Alaskan Halibut fishing

Day 6: Skagway, Alaska, USA

Skagway was Alaska's largest town with a population of about 20,000 during the gold rush in 1898. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. But when the gold dwindled, so did the population.

Today, Skagway has less than 1,000 residents and it still retains the flavor of the gold rush era.

Top Things to Do in and around Skagway :

• steam train from Skagway aboard the "Scenic Railway of the World"
• excursion to the Klondike Summit
• gold panning & dog sledding

Day 7: Sitka, Alaska, USA

Sitka is nestled on the west side of Baranof Island. As the east is covered with snowcapped mountains and the west is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, recreational fishing and hiking have become what Sitka is most famous for. As well as their historical landmarks, picturesque views and authentic dining experiences.

Top Things to Do in Sitka:

• visit Sitka Totem Park, home to authentic Tlingit and Haida totem poles nestled in a rainforest of giant Sitka spruce trees 
• hike through the Starrigavan with plenty of bird and wildlife viewing opportunities
• explore Sitka via kayak 

Day 8-12: Cruising At Sea

Day 13-14: kauai (nawiliwili), hawaii, usa.

Kauai, known as the "Garden Isle," is the oldest of Hawaii's main islands and renowned for its lush landscapes and stunning natural beauty. The island boasts dramatic scenery, including the famous Na Pali Coast with its towering cliffs and the expansive Waimea Canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."

Visitors to Kauai can explore the lush tropical rainforests, pristine beaches, and cascading waterfalls such as Wailua Falls. Outdoor activities abound, from hiking along the Kalalau Trail to kayaking on the Wailua River. The island's charming towns, like Hanalei and Kapa'a, offer a taste of local culture with shops, restaurants, and art galleries. With its breathtaking vistas and serene atmosphere, Kauai is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike.

Named after the Wiliwili trees, which once lined its picturesque harbour, this lovely port of Kauai is your gateway to what many believe to be Hawaii's most beautiful island. On 'The Garden Island,' nature is truly the star, from the dramatic mountains of Kokee to the cool rainforests of Haena. Ships will dock in Nawiliwili Harbour.

Top Things to Do in Nawiliwili:

• take a scenic flight over Kauai in a helicopter
• cruise down Wailua River
• visit the lookout over Waimea Canyon
• join a guided hike along one of Kauai's picturesque trails

Day 15: Maui (Kahului), Hawaii, USA

Maui, known as the "Valley Isle," is home to the world’s largest dormant volcano in Haleakalā National Park. The sunrise view from the summit is a spectacular experience, but the park's trails and unique flora and fauna are equally enchanting throughout the day. In the afternoon, head to the scenic Road to Hana, a winding drive that offers stunning coastal views, waterfalls, and lush rainforests. Stop by the charming town of Paia for a taste of local cuisine and unique boutiques.

Kahului is the primary cruise port on the Hawaiian island of Maui, with ships docking directly at Kahului Harbor. The town center is just 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away, making it a quick 5-minute drive. For those looking to explore further, Lahaina, a historic whaling village with vibrant shops and restaurants, is about 36 kilometers (22 miles) away, roughly a 45-minute drive.

Day 16: Big Island (Hilo), Hawaii, USA

Big Island, officially known as Hawaii Island, offers a diverse range of attractions and landscapes. Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to witness the awe-inspiring activity of Kilauea and Mauna Loa, two of the world's most active volcanoes. The park’s lava flows and unique geological features make it a must-see destination.

Head to the east side and explore Hilo's lush rainforests, beautiful waterfalls like Rainbow Falls, and the serene Liliuokalani Gardens. The west side boasts sunny Kona, famous for its coffee farms and historic sites like Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park. Don't miss a visit to the stunning black sand beaches of Punalu'u, where you might spot sea turtles basking in the sun.

The entire city of Hilo is like one giant greenhouse with spectacular tropical flowers at every turn. The vibe here is definitively Old Hawaii with well-preserved historic buildings, which date back to the turn of the century and showcase Hawaii's unique architecture. Explore the stunning Rainbow Falls, a picturesque waterfall set in a lush tropical landscape.

Nearby, the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden showcases a vibrant array of exotic plants and flowers. Wander through the historic downtown area to find unique shops, local markets, and the Pacific Tsunami Museum, which offers insights into the region's natural history. For a peaceful retreat, visit Liliuokalani Gardens, a beautiful Japanese-style garden perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Day 17: Oahu (Honolulu), Hawaii, USA

Oahu, known as "The Gathering Place," is a vibrant blend of natural beauty and urban charm. From Honolulu's Ala Moana Center, the largest open-air shopping center in the world or alternatively for nature enthusiasts, hike up Diamond Head for breathtaking views or relax on the famous Waikiki Beach. For a taste of local life, visit the North Shore to witness world-class surfing and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. Don't miss the chance to sample local delicacies at a luau, where traditional Hawaiian cuisine and entertainment create an unforgettable evening.

Dive into history at the Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the United States, and pay respects at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, a poignant reminder of World War II. Stroll through the lively Waikiki Beach area, where you can sunbathe, surf, or shop at upscale boutiques.

For panoramic views of the island, hike up Diamond Head, an iconic volcanic crater. Sample local flavors at the KCC Farmers Market, featuring fresh produce and Hawaiian treats, or relax in the serene Honolulu Botanical Gardens, a lush oasis in the heart of the city.
