Seabourn Odyssey - August 16, 2024

Alaska's capital city, Juneau, is located in Southeast Alaska. The Tongass Rain Forest climate provides Juneau with lush terrain and wildflowers. Visitors can find unparalleled glacier viewing from Tracy Arm Fjord, Mendenhall Glacier, the Juneau Icefield and Glacier Bay National Park, and outdoor enthusiasts will love Juneau's kayaking, dogsledding, rafting, biking, hiking and glacier hiking.

Tracy Arm, a classic fjord, has it all: snow capped peaks, shear rock palisades, rainbows and tidewater glaciers. Drift among icebergs and waterfalls that cascade 1,000's of feet for the most close-up view of Sawyer Glacier. You'll see incredible mountains and emerald green water, and be able to watch for whales, bear, eagles and mountain goats, and seals

Welcome to Wrangell, a frontier community in the heart of Alaska. Nestled on an island at the mouth of the mighty Stikine River, Wrangell offers visitors a friendly taste of a frontier life in the midst of some of the most unique and pristine wilderness in Alaska. Walk among petroglyphs, hike up to Rainbow Falls, or stop and pick the abundant wild blueberries, huckleberries and salmonberries.

Almost unknown until a decade ago, Misty Fiords National Monument is 115 miles long and 50 miles wide, and has 2.3 million acres of deep, narrow fiords, steep-walled canyons, waterfalls and bowl-shaped lakes. The fiords' rock walls have been scoured by glaciers, and the park is home to bald eagles, bears, wolves, moose, sea lions, killer whales, beavers, and mink.

Prince Rupert is on the northwest coast of British Columbia. The area features plentiful shopping, restaurants, arts, cultural attractions, and a rich history. The abundant wildlife and pristine wilderness are attractive as well. Catch a salmon. Walk the waterfront. Visit the museums and Performing Arts Center. Go whale watching.

This metropolis is Canada's fastest growing city. Visit Gastown, a restored turn-of-the-century district where Vancouver's first saloon still stands. See trumpeter swans at Lost Lake, contemplate the ducks at Beaver Lagoon, or watch exotic aquatic creatures at the Stanley Park Aquarium. Climb the Lookout for a 360-degree view of the city.
