- All Inclusive

Day Five: Sitka, Alaska (10:00-18:00)
Sitka is a charming island community surrounded with stunning mountain and seaside panoramic views. The vast and rich wildlife boasts sightings of whales, brown bears, deer, sea otters, and various birds flock here. This destination offers superb fishing, and plentiful historical attractions.
- All Inclusive

Day Six: Juneau, Alaska (06:30-13:30)
Juneau has long been known as “Alaska’s peak experience,” thanks in part to its unrivalled glacier viewing at places like Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National Park. We can kayak through the area’s protected waterways, take a thrilling flightseeing tour, wander historic downtown or even try our hand at panning for gold. Just outside the city, the majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies around 12 miles away — and it’s well worth the journey.
- All Inclusive

Day Seven: Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier (Cruising)
This is why we come to Alaska — to stand before glaciers as breathtaking as Dawes, and to savour every moment of the journey there. From Stephens Passage, our ship slips into the glacially carved Endicott Arm, the quieter sister fjord to Tracy, and a place that feels wonderfully untouched. As we sail deeper into its 31-mile corridor, the scenery closes in around us: towering granite walls rising straight from the water, waterfalls cascading down the cliffs, and spruce and hemlock forests clinging to impossibly steep slopes. All of it leads us towards the unforgettable sight of Dawes Glacier waiting at the fjord’s head.
As we sail through the fjord, we can spot “bergy bits” — small chunks of glacial ice — some sculpted into striking shapes, others carrying resting seals. We’ll keep an eye out for bears, mountain goats and whales along the way. Nearing the glacier, the echo of cracking ice signals calving, as huge pieces break away and plunge into the sea. Standing around 600 feet tall and half a mile wide, the brilliant blue Dawes Glacier is an active tidewater giant — and likely one of the most unforgettable moments of our Alaska adventure.
- All Inclusive

Day Eight: Icy Strait Point, Alaska (06:00-15:00)
Venture “where the north wind doesn’t blow.” Known for this famous saying, Icy Strait Point is the ideal landing spot for adventurers in search of something new. Breathtaking and wonderfully wild, it’s one of the rare places where wildlife truly outnumbers people. Our visit here is sure to satisfy every taste for adventure. We can take a cruise from Icy Strait Point to soak up Alaska’s awe-inspiring scenery and choose from the many exciting excursion options offered by Norwegian Cruise Line.
- All Inclusive

Day Nine: Ketchikan (Ward Cove), Alaska (06:00-13:15)
Thanks to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is surrounded by some of the world’s most lush wilderness. Its Tlingit name, Kach Khanna, means “spread wings of the eagle,” and it’s easy to see why. With a little luck, we may spot one of these magnificent birds perched high in a Sitka tree as we approach Ketchikan (Ward Cove) on our Alaska cruise.
- All Inclusive

Day Ten: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (20:00-22:59)
We can explore historic Bastion Square, wander through the treasures of Chinatown and enjoy the sights and sounds along the lively boardwalk of Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
- All Inclusive

Day Eleven: Departure day: Seattle (07:00)
After a final breakfast on board, we disembark the Norwegian Bliss to transfer to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, with memories that will last a lifetime.
