MS Roald Amundsen 2 departures: 16 May and 9 June 2024 ALASKA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA - WILDERNESS, GLACIERS AND CULTURE NORTHBOUND Journey from Vancouver to Seward and Anchorage to discover Alaska’s many fjords, Gold Rush-era history, glistening glaciers, rare wildlife, primeval rainforest, and rich Indigenous and Russian culture. Southeast Inside Passage Sailing past the islands and fjords of the Johnstone Strait north of Vancouver Island, we'll emerge into open sea, continuing up into the Hecate Strait. As your introduction to Alaska, you'll visit the magnificent Misty Fjords wilderness. Next stop is the historic town of Wrangell where you can look for petroglyphs scattered along the beach. Get your first glimpse of glaciers in either the Tracy or Endicott fjords, and admire the art in the galleries of Haines. William Henry Bay is the site of old-growth forest - and possibly gold to be found - while Point Adolphus is known for superb whale watching. You'll also visit Sitka, the former capital of Alaska when it belonged to Russia. Southcentral Alaska Icy Bay is as it sounds, featuring icebergs that have calved off three glaciers further in the bay. In the small salmon fishing town of Cordova, you'll find friendly frontier charm at its finest. We'll then go on to College Fjord, a spectacular stretch of water fringed by snow- dusted mountains and numerous glaciers. You'll disembark in Seward on the Kenai Peninsula beneath Mount Marathon and enjoy a bus ride to Anchorage. You might spot Dall sheep along the route, and even see bison, bears, musk oxen, and elk during our stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Your thrilling expedition comes to an end in the modern city of Anchorage, the largest in the state.
