Vancouver is the prettiest embarkation in this catalog and the most convenient: Canada Place is downtown, under the white sails on the waterfront, with the city on three sides of it. It is the southern end of the Inside Passage, so the scenery starts the moment you leave. The season runs May to September.
Ways to spend your day
Stanley Park
Choose suitable public paths and views, with the return connection arranged in advance.
Granville Island Public Market
Browse available market vendors and choose an optional break.

Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard Discovery Princess. Sailing from Vancouver toward Ketchikan.
Ketchikan docks in the middle of a town built on stilts over the water, so Creek Street and the totem collections are a short walk. It is the wettest place most passengers will ever stand, which is worth packing for; the Misty Fjords floatplane is the excursion people remember.
Ways to spend your day
Creek Street & seafood
A compact town outing, with the Ward Cove shuttle added when that is your arrival point.
History & totem heritage
Start with Tongass Historical Museum or Totem Heritage Center and add the second only if time allows.
Stay at Ward Cove
Use the Welcome Center, mill-history museum and available food for a day without the downtown shuttle.
Skagway is a gold rush town preserved as a national historical park, three streets wide and pressed against the mountains at the end of a fjord. The White Pass railway climbs out of it on the route the Klondike prospectors walked, and it is the one Alaskan excursion that is genuinely hard to beat.
Ways to spend your day
White Pass & town
Choose one reserved rail departure and fit food or a town walk into the remaining time.
Free park museums
Start at the visitor centre and choose the buildings or ranger programs open during your call.
Broadway & brewpub lunch
Keep the outing to the historic district and a meal when you prefer an unscheduled day.
Juneau is a state capital with no road to the rest of the world, reachable only by boat or plane, and ships tie up in the middle of it. The Mendenhall Glacier is twenty minutes away and the tramway up Mount Roberts starts at the dock, which makes this the easiest Alaskan day to do independently.
Ways to spend your day
Mendenhall viewpoints
Make the glacier the main outing with current conditions and both transfers confirmed.
Museum & town
Use a culture-focused day as an alternative to a distant outing or changed weather.
Seawalk & crab
Choose waterfront time and a meal without depending on a mountain tram ride.
