Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Seattle
Depart 15:00
Seattle, the Pacific Northwest's rain-kissed metropolis, commands one of America's most spectacular urban settings — a skyline of glass towers reflected in Elliott Bay with the white cone of Mount Rainier presiding over the horizon on clear days. Pike Place Market, one of the oldest and most vibrant public markets in the country, overflows with Dungeness crab, wild salmon, and blooms of tulips from the Skagit Valley. The neighbourhood of Capitol Hill pulses with independent bookshops and craft breweries; the Space Needle delivers sweeping views of the Cascades and the Olympic Peninsula. Summer, from June through September, offers Seattle's most generous sunshine.

Day 3
Juneau
Arrive 12:30Depart 22:00
America's only state capital unreachable by road, Juneau rewards the journey with a wilderness grandeur that few cities on earth can match. The Mendenhall Glacier — a living river of ancient ice — lies just fifteen minutes from downtown, where floatplanes dart above a waterfront flanked by spruce-draped mountains plunging straight into the sea. The must-do experience is a helicopter landing atop the icefield or a whale-watching excursion in Stephens Passage, where humpbacks breach in astonishing proximity. Juneau is warmest from June to August, though even summer days can bring the famous Southeast Alaska rain that keeps the rainforest perpetually luminous.
Day 4
Day 4
Tracy Arm
Arrive 08:00Depart 14:00
Tracy Arm is a stunning 30-mile fjord in Alaska's Tongass National Forest, celebrated for its dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife. Must-do experiences include cruising through the fjord to view calving glaciers and enjoying local seafood like smoked salmon. The best season to visit is during the summer months when the area is vibrant and accessible.
Day 5
Day 5
Sitka
Arrive 08:00Depart 16:00
Sitka, set on the wild west coast of Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska, is one of the Pacific Northwest's most historically resonant ports — a place where Russian Orthodox onion domes rise above totem poles and the great temperate rainforest presses down to the water's edge. The Sitka National Historical Park preserves the site of the 1804 battle between Tlingit warriors and Russian colonisers alongside a magnificent collection of monumental poles. Whale-watching, sea kayaking among sea otters, and brown bear spotting in the surrounding wilderness define the outdoor experience. May through September offers the most accessible and luminous conditions.
Day 6
Day 6
Ketchikan
Arrive 06:30Depart 13:00
Ketchikan clings to the forested shore of Revillagigedo Island in Alaska's southeastern panhandle — a town so narrow that locals joke it is three miles long and three blocks wide. Revered by the Tlingit people for millennia as a place of abundant salmon, it is today celebrated as the Totem Pole Capital of the World: the collections at Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight State Historical Park preserve the most significant concentration of these monumental artworks anywhere. Creek Street, a boardwalk of colorful historic houses built over Ketchikan Creek, should not be missed. Summer (May–September) brings the best weather, with salmon running in the creeks below.
Day 7
Day 7
Victoria
Arrive 08:00Depart 23:59
Victoria, British Columbia, is a charming port city known for its British-inspired architecture, vibrant food scene, and rich cultural heritage. Must-do experiences include indulging in afternoon tea at the Fairmont Empress and exploring the lively Victoria Public Market. The best time to visit is in the summer, when the city's gardens and outdoor attractions are in full bloom.
