We are excited to provide our group with a ride on the Discovery Riverboat!

Our long-awaited morning has arrived! Today, we’ll see the Hubbard Glacier, which is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. Its awe-inspiring, turquoise-colored face towers nearly 400 feet tall — 250 feet of which are underwater — and its icebergs are often three or four stories high. At nearly six miles wide where the ice meets the ocean and 76 miles long, viewing this mammoth glacial mass is an experience not soon forgotten. As you cruise near the glacier, keep an eye out for the region’s rich variety of wildlife from bald eagles to harbor seals, orcas and humpback whales.

The next stop on our cruise is Juneau. Juneau has been called “Alaska's peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields, Glacier Bay National Park, and Mendenhall Glacier.

As our cruise continues, we stop at the picturesque and quaint little town of Skagway. In a single year, from 1896 to 1897, this remote town along the Inside Passage grew from a few tents to a city of 20,000 gold seekers. Today, travelers come in search of other riches. They long to experience yesteryear along Skagway's charming boardwalk lined with buildings that replicate those Gold Rush days.

Today our ship arrives in Ketchikan. Thanks to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is surrounded by some of the world's most lush wilderness.

There will be some optional excursions you can choose from here. Just be sure to be back on the ship in time. The boat doesn’t wait on anyone.
