Cruise Itinerary Map

PORTS OF CALL

Seattle, Washington

Think of Seattle not as a starting line, but as the first, exceptional chapter of your vacation. While it’s tempting to fly in on the morning of your cruise, we strongly advise against it. A simple flight delay can put your entire trip in jeopardy. Instead, we encourage our clients to arrive one or two days early, transforming a logistical necessity into a memorable urban exploration. This allows you to decompress, adjust to the time zone, and immerse yourself in the unique character of the Pacific Northwest before you even step on the ship.

**Getting Your Bearings**

Getting from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) to the downtown hotel district is refreshingly straightforward. For a seamless and budget-conscious transfer, the Link Light Rail is an excellent choice. The 40-minute ride takes you directly to Westlake Station in the heart of the city, a short walk or taxi from most major hotels. Of course, ride-sharing services and taxis are also readily available.

**A Perfect Pre-Cruise Day in Seattle**

With a full day at your disposal, you can experience the city’s essential highlights without feeling rushed. Here’s a suggested itinerary:

**Morning: The Soul of the City at Pike Place Market**
Start your day at the iconic Pike Place Market. More than just a tourist stop, this is the city’s historic heart and pantry. Arrive early to watch the vendors set up and beat the biggest crowds. While the famous fish-throwing is a must-see, the real magic lies deeper. Wander through stalls overflowing with vibrant bouquets, sample artisanal cheeses at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese (watch them make it through the window), and grab a warm, savory pastry from Piroshky Piroshky. The original Starbucks is here, but be prepared for a line; for a superb coffee experience without the wait, we recommend Storyville Coffee Pike Place, located on the top floor with a cozy fireplace and market views.

**Lunch: A Taste of the Waterfront**
For lunch, you can’t do better than a cup of world-class chowder from Pike Place Chowder. The line moves quickly and is absolutely worth it. Enjoy your meal at a nearby table or take it to the adjacent Victor Steinbrueck Park for a picnic with stunning views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains.

**Afternoon: Iconic Views and Glass Art**
From the market, it’s a pleasant walk or a quick monorail ride to the Seattle Center. Here, you’ll find an unbeatable combination of attractions. Ascend the recently renovated Space Needle for panoramic views of the city, Puget Sound, and, on a clear day, the majestic Mount Rainier. The rotating glass floor offers a thrilling perspective. Right next door is the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum. This is a non-negotiable for anyone who appreciates art and beauty. The vibrant, impossibly intricate glass sculptures are breathtaking, culminating in a magnificent glasshouse that frames the Space Needle in its ceiling.

**Evening: Neighborhood Dining**
Seattle’s culinary scene is a highlight. For a classic Pacific Northwest seafood dinner with waterfront views, make a reservation at Elliott’s Oyster House. For a more contemporary experience, venture into the Capitol Hill neighborhood, known for its vibrant energy and exceptional restaurants. Or, consider the historic Ballard neighborhood, where a spot like The Walrus and the Carpenter offers a celebrated take on local oysters and small plates in a lively, intimate setting. Reservations are highly recommended for any top-tier restaurant.

**If You Have a Second Day**

An extra day allows you to explore further. Consider a quintessential Puget Sound experience: a 35-minute ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. The journey itself provides the best possible views of the Seattle skyline. Once there, you can stroll through the charming main street of Winslow, with its boutiques, cafes, and galleries. Alternatively, dive into modern culture at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), an architectural marvel designed by Frank Gehry, or explore Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, Pioneer Square, known for its Victorian architecture and fascinating Underground Tour.

By arriving early, you don’t just see Seattle—you experience it. You’ll board your cruise relaxed, enriched, and ready for the adventure ahead, with the spirit of the Emerald City as your perfect send-off.

At Sea - Cruising

Sitka, Alaska

Sitka offers a compelling depth that sets it apart from many Alaskan ports. It’s a genuine crossroads of Tlingit, Russian, and American history, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the dormant volcano, Mount Edgecumbe. While the main cruise dock is a few miles out, frequent shuttles make accessing the compact, walkable downtown effortless. Once there, you’ll find St. Michael’s Cathedral, an onion-domed landmark that speaks to Sitka’s past as the capital of Russian America.

The true cultural heart, however, is a short walk away at Sitka National Historical Park. We highly recommend the scenic trail that winds through a temperate rainforest, lined with magnificent Tlingit and Haida totem poles that tell stories of clans and legends. For wildlife, Sitka delivers in an unusually accessible and meaningful way. The Alaska Raptor Center, a rehabilitation facility for eagles, owls, and other birds of prey, offers incredible up-close encounters. Equally impressive is the Fortress of the Bear, a sanctuary providing a safe, naturalistic home for rescued brown bears. Both are a short ride from town and are well worth the trip. Out on the water, the Sitka Sound is famously dotted with charming sea otters, often seen floating on their backs. Sitka isn't about manufactured tourist attractions; it's a port that rewards the curious traveler with authentic encounters—with history, with wildlife, and with a profound sense of place that feels uniquely Alaskan.

Skagway, Alaska

Skagway is less a town and more a time capsule, meticulously preserved from the fever dream of the Klondike Gold Rush. As you step off the ship, you’re immediately immersed in its history. The main event is the historic downtown, a district of wooden boardwalks and false-front buildings so authentic it’s part of a National Historical Park. While compact and easily walkable, its charm is genuine. You can spend an hour or two exploring Broadway Street, popping into the Red Onion Saloon for a dose of colorful history, or visiting the Corrington Museum of Alaskan History.

However, to truly appreciate Skagway, you must see it as a gateway. The town itself is the prologue; the main story unfolds in the surrounding wilderness. The undisputed star attraction is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This is not a simple scenic ride; it’s a vintage, narrow-gauge train that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in 20 miles, clinging to mountainsides and crossing dizzying trestles. The engineering is as breathtaking as the views of glaciers, gorges, and waterfalls. We consider this one of Alaska’s essential experiences.

For those seeking more active pursuits, Skagway delivers. Helicopter tours can land you on a glacier for a dog-sledding adventure, offering a perspective few ever witness. You can also hike a portion of the legendary Chilkoot Trail or take a high-speed catamaran down the Lynn Canal, North America's longest and deepest fjord. Our advice: Plan on one major excursion. Skagway’s in-town appeal is real but finite; its true value lies in the spectacular adventures that begin at its doorstep.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

This isn't a port in the traditional sense, but rather a destination in itself—a day dedicated to the profound, humbling beauty of raw Alaska. Your ship will navigate the 30-mile-long Endicott Arm, a fjord carved by immense glacial power. This is a day to find a comfortable spot on deck, perhaps with a warm drink and binoculars, and simply watch the spectacle unfold. Sheer granite cliffs rise thousands of feet from the water, streaked with dozens of waterfalls. As you venture deeper, the water becomes dotted with floating ice—from small, crystalline 'bergy bits' to larger, blue-hued chunks that have broken free from the glacier ahead.

The main event is the Dawes Glacier, an active tidewater glacier that glows with an ethereal blue light. You'll likely hear the glacier before you see its full grandeur—the thunderous crack and roar as it calves, sending ice crashing into the sea. Keep a keen eye out for wildlife; harbor seals often haul themselves onto the floating ice to rest, and you might spot mountain goats on the cliffs or even a bear along the shoreline. Endicott Arm is a purely observational experience, a chance to witness nature on a scale that truly puts things in perspective.

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau is a quintessential Alaskan port, a capital city uniquely isolated by wilderness and accessible only by air or sea. This isolation is its charm, creating a place where dramatic nature is always the main event. The undisputed star is the Mendenhall Glacier, a magnificent river of ice just a short drive from the docks. The visitor center provides spectacular views, but for a truly memorable experience, we recommend a helicopter tour that lands you directly on the glacier itself—an investment, but one that pays dividends in awe.

Beyond the glacier, Juneau is one of Alaska’s premier whale-watching destinations. The nutrient-rich waters of the Inside Passage are a summer feeding ground for humpback whales, and sightings are exceptionally common. For a different perspective, the Mount Roberts Tramway, which departs right from the cruise ship dock, whisks you 1,800 feet up for panoramic views of the Gastineau Channel and the surrounding Tongass National Forest.

The downtown area is compact, historic, and easily explored on foot. While it can be bustling with fellow cruisers, it’s worth a stroll down South Franklin Street to see the preserved architecture. For a dose of culture, the Alaska State Museum offers a superb collection of Native Alaskan and pioneer history. While the famous Red Dog Saloon is a lively and historic stop, for a more authentic taste of Juneau, seek out a local salmon bake. Juneau delivers exactly what you hope for in Alaska: breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters that feel both grand and accessible.

Victoria, British Columbia

Victoria offers a distinctly civilized and manageable port day, a welcome change of pace from more sprawling destinations. Its compact, walkable Inner Harbour is the city’s heart, framed by the grand legislative buildings and the iconic Fairmont Empress hotel. This is where you’ll find the city’s pulse, and it’s an excellent starting point.

For many, the main draw is the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. We'll be direct: it's a masterpiece of horticulture and absolutely worth the visit if you're a passionate gardener. However, be mindful that it requires a significant bus or taxi ride (about 30-40 minutes each way), consuming a fair portion of your day. If you prefer to stay local, you won't be disappointed.

The Royal BC Museum, conveniently located at the Inner Harbour, is one of Canada's best, offering compelling exhibits on both natural and human history that can easily fill a few hours. A short, pleasant walk from the main harbour leads to Fisherman's Wharf, a quirky collection of floating homes and food kiosks where you can enjoy fresh fish and chips while watching seals play. For a dose of Victorian grandeur, Craigdarroch Castle provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a 19th-century coal baron. Or, simply stroll through the manicured lawns of nearby Beacon Hill Park.

Victoria's strength lies in its quality and accessibility. Whether you opt for a grand garden tour or a simple, elegant walk around the harbour, it delivers a polished and memorable experience without feeling overwhelming.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
  • Prescription replacements
