Essential Ports: Juneau, Mendenhall Glacier, Tracy Arm Fjord, Sawyer Glacier, Sitka, Ketchikan, Admiralty Island and Glacier Bay National Park. Essential Experiences: Whale spotting in the Inside Passage from Ketchikan to Glacier Bay; cruising through icebergs, viewing and listening to a glacier calving and kayaking in Glacier Bay...all with your own onboard private naturalist. Local favorite: Dining on the local harvet, including salmon, cod and halibut. Alaksa is famous for its larget and most flavorful Dungeness, King or Queen crab. |
