June 20 – Seattle, Washington – Embark
Harvester of trees, provisioner of gold rushers, gateway for sea commerce. Incubator of jazz and grunge, jets and literature, coffee and computer software. Seattle is as much about reinvention as it is a landscape. There are lakes, mountains, and evergreen forests everywhere you look. The rest is an archipelago of neighborhoods studded with boutiques and cof-fee shops. Catch a salmon at Pike Place Market. Ride the elevator to the top of the Space Needle
and take in gorgeous city vistas. Sample a local microbrew in Fremont, enjoy fresh steamers down at the pier, or slurp a bowl of steaming pho in the International District.
June 26 – Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Victoria is a city that started as Salish Village, spent a roustabout adolescence as a main port for gold prospectors and opium trad-ers, and then transformed itself into an icon of British gentility after the completion of the Trans Canadian railroad put neighboring Vancouver in the ascendant. Two events were seminal: the opening of Butchart Gardens in 1904 and the comple-tion of the Empress Hotel in 1908. Butchart is a collection of gardens more than a single garden—high-
lights for cruise visitors include the Sunken Garden (built from a former limestone quarry), the Italian Garden, the Japanese Garden, and the fragrant Rose Garden. The Empress Hotel is merely a national icon. Come in for high tea.
June 27 – Seattle, Washington – Disembark
Depart as scheduled or stay over to enjoy this magnificent city.
June 25 – Ketchikan, Alaska
As Alaska’s first city, Ketchikan claims to be the salmon capital of the world. Its harbor shelters a colorful fleet of fishing and plea-sure boats. Watch for bald eagles swooping to snatch a fish for din-ner. Ketchikan is also center of the ancient Tlingit culture and proudly displays its heritage. Tour to see Alaska’s largest collection of origi-nal totems. Walk through the forest to an authentic Indian community house, with awesome carvings. Go flight seeing to scenic Misty Fjords
National Monument with its sheer granite walls, glacier-carved fjords and sky-blue alpine lakes. Go fishing. Shop for gold nugget jewelry or a soapstone carving.
June 24 – Sitka, Alaska
The onion domes of St. Michael’s Cathedral are your first clue that Sitka was once a key Russian settlement. Indeed, it was capital of Russian America, seat of the bishop of Kamchatka, and the most important port on the West Coast for the first half of the 19th century. Catch a performance by the New Archangel Dancers, be greeted by native Tlingit people, then stand on the spot where the United States took possession of Alaska in 1867. The dramatic setting in the shadow
of Mt. Edgecumbe is one of the loveliest in the Great North.
June 21 – At Sea
June 22 – Juneau, Alaska
No roads lead to Juneau, which gives the Alaskan capital a misty inscrutability. You need to come by air or water, but when you ar-rive, the place will delight you with its bounty of water, forests, and mountains. Squeezed between the Gastineau Channel and Coast Mountains, Juneau offers a lot of variety in close proximity. The massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields are at its back door. The vast Tongass National Forest stretches away to
the northeast. You can shop downtown or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike, whale watch, flightsee or fish. The adventures are as bountiful as the daylight.
June 23 – Glacier Bay, Alaska
This Y-shaped bay is 65 miles long. A journey up its arms is a profound regression through the life cycle of a new land—from maturing Sitka-spruce forests replete with grizzlies and wolves to thin-skinned tundra, lichens, and mosses that gain purchase on land exposed at a glacier’s maw, the first beginnings of or-ganic soil. Glacier Bay stands at farthest possible remove from the tiresome clamor of the modern world. So, at least for a little while,
trade in your cell phone’s jangle for the pop, crackle, and thunderous boom of a building-size berg calving into the sea from a vast river of ice. You’ll be adventuring far beyond the end of the road.
