Seabourn

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Vancouver

   Depart 17:00

   Canada

   

   Pressed between the Pacific and the Coast Mountains, Vancouver is the natural gateway to Alaska's Inside Passage — a city where temperate rainforest meets glass towers and where Dungeness crab and wild sockeye salmon define a Pacific Rim cuisine that rivals any in North America. Walk the 22-kilometre Stanley Park seawall, lose yourself in the Granville Island market, then ferry across to Victoria's Edwardian splendour. Alaska cruise season peaks from May through September, making Vancouver an ideal starting point for one of the world's great ocean journeys.

2. Day 3

   Ketchikan

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   United States

   

   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.

3. Day 4

   Klawock, Alaska

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   United States

   

   Klawock is one of Alaska's oldest Tlingit settlements on Prince of Wales Island, where twenty-one totem poles in a community park narrate clan histories predating European contact by centuries. Visit May through September via Regent Seven Seas or Silversea for genuine Tlingit cultural encounters, Alaska's longest cave system, and the intimate experience of a remote island community where wilderness is neighbor, not commodity.

4. Day 5

   Sitka

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   United States

   

   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.

5. Day 6

   At Sea

   Arrive 10:00Depart 18:00

   

6. Day 8

   Kodiak, Alaska

   Arrive 07:00Depart 16:00

   United States

   

   Kodiak, Alaska's oldest European settlement and one of America's largest fishing ports, sits on an island home to 3,500 giant Kodiak brown bears—the densest concentration on Earth. Must-dos include floatplane bear-viewing at remote salmon streams, the Alutiiq Museum of indigenous culture, and sampling king crab fresh from the harbor. July and August offer the warmest weather and peak bear-viewing season.

7. Day 10

   Dutch Harbor, Alaska

   Arrive 10:00Depart 18:00

   United States

   

   Dutch Harbor, in Alaska's volcanic Aleutian Islands, is America's highest-volume fishing port where king crab fleets brave the Bering Sea's notorious waters. Japanese WWII bombing sites, Unangan indigenous heritage, and a Russian Orthodox cathedral layer history across a landscape of emerald tundra and volcanic peaks. Carnival Cruise Line and HX Expeditions navigate the Aleutian chain to this frontier outpost where extreme weather, extraordinary seafood, and the wild beauty of the North Pacific converge at the edge of the world.

8. Day 14

   At Sea

   

9. Day 17

   Kushiro

   Arrive 07:00Depart 16:00

   Japan

   

   Kushiro, on Hokkaido's wild eastern coast, is Japan's gateway to pristine marshlands, volcanic lakes, and the sacred red-crowned crane. The city's legendary Washo Market offers build-your-own sashimi bowls, while nearby Kushiro Shitsugen National Park protects the country's largest wetland. Silversea brings expedition travelers to this unhurried port where Ainu heritage and untamed nature converge.

10. Day 18

    Miyako, Japan

    Arrive 10:00Depart 18:00

    Japan

    

    Miyako is a resilient Pacific coast city in Japan's Tōhoku region, gateway to the dramatic Sanriku ria coastline and the ethereal Jōdogahama "Pure Land Beach" of white rock formations and turquoise water. Must-dos include boat tours through Jōdogahama's volcanic rock formations, visiting the 2011 tsunami memorial, and tasting the region's exceptional seafood including fresh uni and wakame. April through November offers varied seasonal beauty from cherry blossoms to autumn foliage.

11. Day 19

    Sendai, Japan

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Japan

    

    Sendai, the "City of Trees," is the cultural heart of Japan's Tohoku region, founded by the legendary feudal lord Date Masamune and renowned for its gyutan (charcoal-grilled beef tongue), zelkova-lined boulevards, and nearby Matsushima Bay — one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Views. Visitors should explore the ornate Zuihoden mausoleum, climb the 1,000 steps to Yamadera temple, and time their visit for the spectacular Tanabata Festival in August or autumn foliage in November.

12. Day 20

    Hitachinaka

    Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00

    Japan

    

    Hitachinaka, Japan, offers an immersion in a culture where aesthetic refinement and daily life are inseparable. Essential experiences include exploring local food markets, tasting regional specialties at intimate eateries, and visiting the surrounding temples and gardens. The port is most rewarding October through April, when cooler temperatures and lower humidity create ideal conditions. Cruise lines including Princess Cruises feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.

13. Day 21

    Shimizu

    Arrive 10:00Depart 19:00

    Japan

    

    Shimizu is Japan's premier Mount Fuji gateway port on Suruga Bay, where a storied tea-trading heritage meets exceptional coastal cuisine — most notably the prized sakura ebi cherry blossom shrimp found nowhere else. Visitors should not miss the UNESCO-listed Miho no Matsubara pine grove for iconic Fuji views and the vibrant Kashi no Ichi fish market for the freshest tuna and whitebait in Japan. The ideal window stretches from late March through May, when cherry blossoms frame the snowcapped volcano and spring's first tea harvest perfumes the hillsides.

14. Day 22

    Tokyo

    Arrive 08:00

    Japan

    

    Tokyo's port is a vibrant gateway to both cultural and culinary experiences, uniquely blending traditional Japanese heritage with modern innovation. Must-do experiences include savoring fresh sushi at Tsukiji Outer Market and exploring the natural beauty of Fuji Hakone Izu National Park. The best season to visit is spring, when cherry blossoms bloom, transforming the city into a picturesque landscape.
