Discover San Francisco, Seattle & Portland before embarking on an epic Alaska cruise - includes flights, optional airport and cruise transfers & more
Embark on an extraordinary Pacific Northwest adventure, where dramatic coastal scenery, vibrant cities, and untamed Alaskan wilderness converge. Beginning in California and winding north into Canada and Alaska, this journey invites you to tick off dynamic urban hubs from your USA bucket list before setting sail along pristine fjords. Feel completely rejuvenated as you trade the electric atmosphere of iconic cityscapes for the crisp air and serene expanse of the northern wilderness.
Along the way, you will marvel at the jagged cliffs of Tracy Arm fjord, explore the rich Tlingit heritage of Ketchikan, and take in the captivating waterside vistas of Victoria. From an atmospheric overnight sleeper train journey past towering mountain ranges to gliding past colossal glaciers on deck, this escape offers an unmissable blend of refined comfort and breathtaking natural wonder.
