Explore five Alaska ports, glacier cruising and the Pacific-Northwest on this southbound cruise. In Skagway, you’ll experience the Gold Rush. Take the trolley for a narrated tour or ride the famous White Pass Railway to view Alaska’s beautiful interior. In Icy Strait Point, wildlife abounds, watch for bears, eagles and humpback whales. The largest Native Tlingit village in the state is here, as is the world’s longest zipline. History buffs will love visiting Astoria, the “Little San Francisco of the Pacific Northwest.” It’s the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies and its elegant, Queen Anne architecture is beautifully preserved.
