DAY 7 – CRUISING DAY 8 – CRUISING KETCHIKAN, ALASKA Ketchikan, one of Alaska’s most Southeastern cities, is the first stop for many cruises on their way to more Northern climes. Ketchikan is the gateway to the Misty Fjords National Monument, an area so beautiful, it is known as “The Yosemite of the North.” With steep valleys formed by glaciers and lava flows left by volcanic activity, Misty Fjords offers gorgeous views of natural formations, all reflected in the calm waters of Pacific inlets. DAY 9 – ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER - JUNEAU, ALASKA 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,
