Day 3

ketchikan, alaska

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

Ketchikan is a city in and the borough seat of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough of Alaska. It is the state's southeasternmost major settlement. Downtown Ketchikan is a National Historic District. With a population at the 2010 census of 8,050, it is the fifth-most populous city in the state, and tenth-most populous community when census-designated places are included. The surrounding borough, encompassing suburbs both north and south of the city along the Tongass Highway (most of which are commonly regarded as a part of Ketchikan, albeit not a part of the city itself), plus small rural settlements accessible mostly by water, registered a population of 13,477 in that same census. US Census results put the 2019 population at 13,901 people. Incorporated on August 25, 1900, Ketchikan is the earliest extant incorporated city in Alaska, because consolidation or unification elsewhere in Alaska resulted in the dissolution of those communities' city governments. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver. Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. "Ketchikan" comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean "the river belonging to Kitschk"; other accounts claim it means "Thundering Wings of an Eagle". In modern Tlingit, this name is Kichx̱áan.

Day 5

Cruising in Johnston Strait

Rustic, tree-covered islands and misty mountain peaks reward your gaze as the ship glides through the Johnstone Strait. This narrow sliver is a haven for marine life as no towns or cities are along its banks. In summer, a large pod of resident orcas come to feed on salmon. This wild waterway also attracts humpbacks, minke whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins and Dall’s porpoises. George Vancouver named the Johnstone Strait after James Johnstone, a sailing master who charted the channel during their Pacific Northwest expedition. Though the channel was charted back in the 1700s, its beauty remains untouched.

Day 5

Seymour Narrows

Seymour Narrows is a stretch of water north of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Its breathtaking beauty conceals a fascinating history. For much of modern history, a submerged mountain called Ripple Rock made navigation through Seymour Narrows dangerous. George Vancouver described it as “one of the most terrible stretches of water in the world.” In 1958, the Canadian government removed the summit of the mountain in a controlled explosion, the largest non-nuclear commercial explosion in North America. Seymour Narrows remains a challenging passage, known for its strong tidal currents.

Day 7

victoria, british columbia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 22:00

Victoria is blessed with a pretty waterfront location at the southern tip of nature-endowed Vancouver Island. It has retained its Commonwealth roots perhaps more strongly than any place in Canada. Many consider it the most British city in North America. Founded in 1843 as a Hudson Bay Trading Post, its colonial past has been well-preserved and is in a state of constant loving restoration. But aside its glorious colonial past, Victoria is also proud of its ancient roots. Victoria is still today the home of the Lekwungen People who are also known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. Their culture and history are still very much a part of the city. Victoria’s historic downtown is a model for maintaining architectural integrity while keeping everything squeaky clean. Add to this, numerous dining, nightlife, cultural, and shopping opportunities not to mention that it is the warmest place in all Canada, full of flowers almost all year round. That is the reason it is considered the jewel of Canada's west coast and dubbed the city of gardens. Victoria is a charming little city with a joyful and laid-back atmosphere surrounded by amazingly beautiful scenery. It is no wonder tourists flock to Victoria and generally rave about it.
