The Adventure Begins
For added comfort and convenience, your private driver-guide will greet you in the airport's Arrivals Hall with personalized signage. They'll direct you to your awaiting vehicle, take you through your travel documents, and assist with your luggage.
With some time at leisure, embark on a self-guided stroll along downtown Vancouver’s spectacular waterfront. Start your journey at Canada Place, an iconic landmark distinguished by its sail-like architecture. Here, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Burrard Inlet, bustling harbor, and the majestic North Shore Mountains. Walking west, marvel at the stunning architecture and the impressive "Digital Orca" sculpture, capturing the essence of Vancouver's blend of nature and modernity. A beautifully maintained path hugs the coastline to Coal Harbour: a delightful mix of modern high-rises and marina views, providing plenty of spots to pause and soak in the tranquil atmosphere. As you follow the seawall, you'll find a variety of dining options, from fine dining with a view to casual eats along the harbor. Devonian Harbour Park offers a showcase for public art, featuring several notable sculptures that add to its charm and cultural appeal. On the edge of Stanley Park, Lost Lagoon offers a peaceful retreat to connect with nature, enjoy scenic beauty, and appreciate the rich cultural history of the area.
Experience Vancouver's dining scene without straying far from your hotel. Within the hotel, indulge in seaside sophistication at Oceans 999, where Pacific Northwest flavors meet stunning marina views, or unwind at the stylish Coal Harbour Bar, a vibrant lounge offering expertly crafted cocktails and small plates. For a more upscale affair, Five Sails serves elegant seafood and regional cuisine right by the water, ideal for celebrating a match-winning goal in refined surroundings. If you prefer, take advantage of the Pan Pacific’s convenient in-room dining. If you’re ready to explore further afield, some of Vancouver’s best restaurants - from craft beer pubs to global fare - await just minutes away in Coal Harbour and Gastown.

VANCOUVER




See the Signature Sights in Style
See the best of Vancouver in a half-day adventure through the scenic hub's quintessential sights. Perched on the edge of the Pacific and framed by the picturesque mountain peaks, it’s easy to fall in love with this breathtaking city. Explore the lush oasis of Stanley Park, a beautiful 1000-acre park boasting stunning city and ocean views. Visit the park's nine totem poles situated at Brockton Point, a showcase of First Nations art and storytelling carved from red cedar. Immerse yourself in the popular arts community on Granville Island, enjoying its lively indoor marketplace brimming with vibrant fare and produce. Discover the charms of the historic Gastown district, dotted with cafes, boutique shops, trendy eateries, and an antique-style clock powered by steam and whistles. Marvel at the city’s bustling Chinatown, one of the largest in all of North America. Experience the dazzling city harbor and soak in superb views of the beautiful beaches at English Bay. See Vancouver's oldest shopping district on Robson Street and learn why Yaletown, home to an abundance of chic eateries and boutiques, is one of the city's trendiest neighborhoods.
Vancouver’s beaches offer a perfect mix of easy downtown sunsets and iconic coastal escapes. English Bay Beach is the classic choice close to downtown, where the sun dips behind the mountains and freighters dot the horizon, while nearby Sunset Beach lives up to its name with a quieter, golden-hour glow framed by Stanley Park. Third Beach, tucked along the park’s seawall, offers a more secluded feel with calm waters and richly colored evening skies. For those heading a little farther afield, Wreck Beach pairs sweeping Pacific vistas with dramatic sunsets, while Spanish Banks, Jericho Beach, and the iconic Kitsilano Beach offer wide sandy shores, open skies, and memorable west-facing views as the day fades into night.
Tonight, enjoy a dining reservation at Gotham Steakhouse & Bar, Vancouver’s premier destination for an indulgent steakhouse experience in the heart of downtown. Housed in a beautifully restored Art Deco heritage building on Seymour Street, the restaurant captivates guests with soaring ceilings, rich leather and velvet upholstery, and a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. Their menu focuses on the finest Canada Prime beef, available in classic favorites, dry-aged cuts, and exclusive A5 Wagyu selections, alongside fresh seafood, elegant vegetarian options, decadent sides, and homemade desserts . Gotham’s wine cellar is award‑winning (notably recognized by Wine Spectator), and the bar crafts top‑shelf cocktails to complement every dish. Whether you're seated in the refined dining room, soaking in live music in the cozy piano lounge, or dining al fresco on the garden patio during the warmer months, Gotham combines impeccable service, sophisticated ambiance, and culinary excellence to create memorable moments for every occasion. Please note: This service is for a reservation only and payment for your meal is required in destination. All reservations are subject to availability.

INSIDE PASSAGE

A Sight To Behold
You'll sail beyond the Inside Passage into the more protected Alaska Inside Passage in southeastern Alaska. This complex labyrinth of fjords, bays, and lush green islands is home to an abundance of wildlife, including orca, mountain goats, bald eagles, bears, puffins, sea otters and much more. During the summer months, the long hours of daylight allow for ample opportunities for nature photos on your Inside Passage Cruise. You'll never forget the sight of 40-ton whales hurling themselves into the air, almost completely escaping the water. If you're especially lucky, you could see them swimming together to create a bubble net, trapping and eating fish by the giant mouthful.

Visit St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Cathedral for a pristine example of period architecture. Nestled on the coast of the Gulf of Alaska, there’s much natural beauty to explore on a Sitka cruise. A walk along the promenade in Whale Park offers a chance to view breaching humpback whales while a trek into Sitka Historical Park reveals stunning coastal trails and hundred-year-old totem poles. Venture to Tongass National Forest for up close views of wildlife, including Alaska Coastal Brown Bears, American Bald Eagles and Sitka Blacktail Deer.

HUBBARD GLACIER

Sail the Seas
The Hubbard Glacier is located about 30 miles north off the coast of Yakutat and is by far one of Alaska’s most exciting natural treasures. On your cruise to Hubbard Glacier, enjoy incredible picture-perfect views of this glorious mount of ice from about every angle on your ship. Named after Gardiner Hubbard, the founder and president of the National Geographic Society, Hubbard Glacier is the longest tidewater glacier in the world. Dramatically massive at about 7-miles wide, 76-miles long and as tall as a 30-story building above the waterline, it’s the largest river of ice in North America. How this magnificent block came to form begins about 400 years ago from the snowfalls on the slopes of Mount Logan. While most of the world’s glaciers are retreating, the Hubbard Glacier has continued to thicken over the years and on rare occasion will partially block Russell Fjord, temporarily damming its passage.
Cruise Hubbard Glacier and experience the wilds of Alaska as your ship makes its way through icy waters turning from Yakutat Bay into the narrow Disenchantment Bay to come face-to-face with the towering Hubbard Glacier. The strong currents and riptides that flow between Gilbert Point and the face of the glacier cause calving to occur on daily basis, sending massive chunks of ice crashing into Disenchantment Bay. Witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon onboard a Hubbard Glacier cruise through the misty, chilled air of the Gulf of Alaska. Our dedicated onboard naturalist narrates the experience and keeps an eye out for the whales, harbor seals, and otters that hunt and play in the waters of Yakutat Bay. It’s an adventure of a lifetime.

SEWARD TO ANCHORAGE


A Change of Scenery
Edging the Kenai Peninsula and framed by the glacier-covered Kenai Mountains that run along its southeastern spine, Seward is a rustic port town whose grand terrain will leave you breathless. Discover the wonder of the Kenai Peninsula on a Seward cruise. The pristine wilderness is home to nesting seabirds, countless islands, wetlands, and breathtaking views. And, as the gateway to the Kenai Fjords National Park, the Harding Icefield — an expanse of ice and snow created over 23,000 years ago — is easily within reach and culminates in 40 glaciers that dramatically calve into the sea. The throngs of wildlife that course below, and glide above the glacial waters, are legion. Pods of humpback whales are known to breach when hunting, seals and sea lions lounge on rocky outcroppings and bald eagles hover overhead. The rugged landscape suits Seward’s hardy locals well. Every July 4th, Seward’s runners race 1.5 miles up and down Mount Marathon. Starting at sea level, the race rises 3,000 feet in elevation over very steep terrain. Runners race over gullies, ice, and snow, using their hands to haul themselves to the finish line. And, when not racing up mountains, you can find stalwart locals at city watering holes and dining spots, where you can savor fresh Alaskan seafood, filleted and flayed straight from the ocean to your plate. Situated at a grand natural intersection where bays and fjords stretching south to the Pacific meet the crested wilderness — and connected to communities extending northwards via the famously scenic Seward Highway — Seward is emblematic of the wildly beautiful state that is Alaska.
Wave goodbye to the onboard crew and the friends you've made, walking away with memories that will last a lifetime.
Welcome to Alaska!
Meet your private driver-guide at the Seward Cruise Terminal and embark on a discovery of wonders en-route to Anchorage. Journey north into the beautiful Kenai Mountains, sprawling 113 mi from the Kenai Peninsula to the Chugach Mountains. Serene alpine lakes, towering peaks, and alpine tundra make this one of the most beautiful drives to experience. Perhaps choose to visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center for a private tour, where you can photograph the state's great variety of land animals and birds. Opt to experience a scenic tram ride up the mountains at the Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood, offering a bird’s eye view of Turnagain Arm waterway and the Girdwood Valley nestled in the Chugach Mountains. Enjoy stops for picturesque photos and wildlife viewing along the Turnagain Arm. Your full-day transfer and tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Anchorage. Offering easy flexibility, this transfer can be adjusted to reflect your preference of activities.
