DAY 16 - SKAGWAY

In winter, the sidewalks are all but rolled up in Skagway, so you can imagine the frightful conditions endured
by gold prospectors who passed through en route to the Yukon. Take your time and poke your head into every
little shop, from the Trail Bench to Lynch & Kennedy‟s Dry Goods. The Red Onion Saloon, with its honkytonk piano and costumed barmaids, is a treasure trove of memorabilia featuring pictures of Klondike Kate,
Peahull Annie, and other historic characters. To complete the picture of those rip-roaring days, visit the
nostalgic Trail of ‟98 Museum.
Breakfast Lunch

DAY 17 - SCENIC CRUISING: GLACIER BAY

Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anyplace else in the world. How does it feel when
a colossal chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder. The impact shoots
water hundreds of meters into the air. You hold your breath as you capture the moment on camera, then you
wait for it all to happen again.
Breakfast Lunch Dinner

DAY 18 – KETCHIKAN

Alaska‟s “First City” of Ketchikan is so named because it is the first major landfall for most cruisers as they
enter the picturesque fjords of the Inside Passage, where the town clings to the banks of the Tongass Narrows,
flanked by green forests nurtured by abundant rain. An important hub of the salmon-fishing and -packing
industries—visitors can try their luck on a sport-fishing excursion or simply savor the fresh seafood at one of
the local restaurants. It is also one of the best spots along the Inside Passage to explore the rich cultural sights of
Native Alaskan nations like the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian.
