Endicott Arm is a 30-mile fjord that snakes through the Tracy Arm-Fords Wilderness Area. At the head is the majestic Dawes Glacier. Find a good spot on our spacious decks or get cozy on your verandah and take in the views. Glide past waterfalls that spool like silver ribbons from soaring mountain peaks. As you go deeper into the narrow fjord, the water changes color from grey to jade, the temperatures dip and the bergy bits (ice chunks) become larger and more plentiful. The 600-foot-tall, mile-wide Dawes Glacier takes center stage just around a bend. The ship will sidle up to this brilliant blue giant for a chance to witness calving, when ice breaks off and plunges into the sea. Dawes Glacier regularly rumbles with white thunder, so keep your camera ready! Wildlife sightings are common, so bring your binoculars. Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier are the breeding grounds of harbor seals, one of Alaska’s cutest critters. In spring, you can see chubby pups chilling with mom on floating ice. Juneau is many things: a mountain town, a coastal community and the most scenic capital city in the U.S. A natural wonder, wildlife hotspot and cultural jewel. Downtown Juneau blends Alaskan history, culture, and natural beauty into an unforgettable experience. With everything from iconic seafood to unique local art and a bit of adventure thrown in, Juneau’s downtown is sure to capture the heart of every visitor. Enjoy your time in Alaska’s vibrant capital!

PORT OF CALL SKAGWAY - ALASKA INSIDE PASSAGE
Skagway, a colourful gold rush history, beautiful setting, and a lot of cruise ships makes Skagway one of the most interesting and popular towns to visit in the Inside Passage. Located on traditional Tlingit land, Shgagwéi means “bunched up or roughed up water” and refers to the whitecaps that form from strong winds. Visitors can explore the colorful history and characters of the Klondike Gold Rush in the heart of downtown Skagway along Broadway Avenue. More than 20 historic buildings have been preserved by Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, including The Moore House, Jeff Smith’s Parlor, and The Mascot Saloon. Shaped by the staggering force of massive glaciers millions of years ago, Alaska’s Inside Passage stretches 500 miles along the Pacific Ocean and boasts wildlife-filled fjords, tidewater glaciers, and lush island scenery. The Tongass National Forest — the largest national forest in the United States and the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world — covers the vast majority of the Inside Passage.
