Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Yokohama
Depart 20:00
Yokohama is Japan's premier cruise gateway and a captivating port city where nineteenth-century cosmopolitan heritage meets contemporary waterfront elegance, just thirty minutes south of Tokyo. Visitors should explore the historic Yamate Bluff district and lose themselves in Asia's largest Chinatown, savouring iconic iekei ramen and shōronpō soup dumplings. Spring offers the most enchanting experience, when cherry blossoms transform nearby Hirosaki Castle and the mild coastal air makes harbour-side strolling an irresistible pleasure.

Kushiro
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
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.

Kodiak
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
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.
Day 11
Day 11
Bergen
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Bergen, Norway's charming coastal city and historic trading hub, is known for its picturesque Bryggen Wharf and rich maritime heritage. Must-do experiences include sampling local delicacies at the vibrant Fish Market and exploring the medieval Hanseatic quarter. The best season to visit is during the summer months, when the city's lively atmosphere and stunning fjord landscapes are at their peak.
Day 12
Day 12
Sitka
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
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 13
Day 13
Ketchikan
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
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 14
Day 14
Prince Rupert
Prince Rupert, a historic railway terminus on British Columbia's northern coast, enchants visitors with its deep Tsimshian heritage, world-class halibut fishing, and misty rain forest scenery along the Inside Passage. Sample freshly smoked salmon at the waterfront and explore the North Pacific Cannery, Canada's oldest surviving cannery, for a vivid encounter with the port's maritime soul. The best time to visit is June through August, when longer days temper the famous rainfall and wildlife activity peaks along the coast.
Day 15
Day 15
Vancouver
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.
