Join us to enjoy Vancouver's juxtaposition of urban sophistication and on-your-doorstep wilderness adventure! With Silversea cruises you'll be able to enjoy one of the world's most livable cities.

Ketchikan, Alaska-the "Salmon Capital of the World"-is a gateway to the Inside Passage and Misty Fjords National Monument, best seen by cruise or scenic flight. Spot grizzlies, black bears, whales, seals, eagles, and more in the rainforest and rugged inlet landscape. Visit the Heritage Centre for the world's largest collection of Tlingit and Haida totem poles, then explore historic Creek Street, once the city's red-light district, plus Dolly's House and the Married Man Trail.

Do You Dream of a Luxury Cruise in Alaska? To gaze at whales and brown bears? Set sail with Silversea and live an experience of breathtaking encounters.

Skagway still captures the excitement of the Gold Rush: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and historic downtown preserve the 1890s boomtown spirit. Beyond its history, it offers dramatic scenery-snowy peaks, pine forests, waterfalls, deep gorges, rivers full of salmon, brown bears, bald eagles, whales offshore, and nearby glaciers. Ride the White Pass & Yukon Route for one of the world's great rail journeys, or hike the Chilkoot Trail in the footsteps of gold seekers.

Formed by the retreat of the Guyot, Yahtse, and Tyndall Glaciers, Icy Bay is a young fjord-like bay in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska. Though only about 100 years old in its present form, its icy blue waters, icebergs, and silent scenery feel timeless. Harbor seals, seabirds, marine mammals, and even grizzlies may appear, but August is still chilly at about 11°C/50°F.

Valdez, Alaska, "Little Switzerland," sits on Prince William Sound, ringed by the 5,000-foot Chugach Mountains and glaciers. It is the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the most northerly ice-free port in the Western Hemisphere. Gold-rush boom in 1897-98, nearly destroyed by the 1964 earthquake, then rebuilt 4 miles away. Today its economy mixes oil, tourism, fishing, seafood processing, and shipping, with hiking, rafting, kayaking, glacier trekking, and winter sports.

In Seward, Alaska, monumental scenery surrounds you: glaciers calve, whales cruise icy waters, and Kenai Fjords National Park rises with fjords, peaks, and the Harding Icefield. Visit Holgate Glacier by kayak or boat for striking blue-white ice and dramatic calving. Nearby Anchorage offers a stark city contrast, and the region also invites you to learn about the culture and heritage of Alaska's First Nation peoples.
