7 nætter fra Vancouver, Canada med Majestic Princess

Vancouver er en af verdens smukkest beliggende byer. På den ene side er Geogia-strædet, på den anden side storslåede bjerge. Der er et behageligt klima i byen – en varm sommer og en mild, men regnfuld vinter. Vancouver har flere varemærker, blandt andet Lions Gate Bridge, der er 450 meter lang. Den er bygget af Guinness familien, som også er kendt for deres øl.

Ketchikan var tidligere en indiansk fiskerby og man kan stadig se byens farverige fortid. I skovområderne omkring byen findes hundredvis af ørnereder og der er mulighed for at se mange farverigt udhuggede totempæle og høre om de fascinerende historier der omgiver dem.

Juneau er hovedstaden i Alaska og blev grundlagt i 1880. I dag byder den tidligere mineby på et af de mest spektakulære landskaber i Alaska. Byen ligger for foden af Mount Juneau og med Mendelhall Glacier på nordsiden.

Skagway er en gammel guldgraverby der blev grundlagt af lykkejægere, eventyrer og andet godtfolk. I dag er det kun de besøgende i byen der prøver at finde en guldklump eller to.

Princess is one of a select few cruise lines permitted to cruise the pristine waters of Glacier Bay, the highlight of our 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise. Just west of Juneau, this breathtaking national park and preserve boasts some of the world’s most spectacular tidewater glaciers, such as Margerie Glacier, which often drops colossal chunks of ice into the sea. Not surprisingly, Glacier Bay National Park and its epic ice giants are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Alaska’s magnificent park system. During your scenic cruise, friendly Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place and host a fun Junior Ranger program for kids. They may even be able to help you identify Glacier Bay’s abundant wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, harbor seals, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and large colonies of seabirds. Take in the awe-inspiring scenery as you enjoy an unforgettable day of sailing through this dazzling park, where you’ll glide along emerald waters and past calving icebergs, and can breathe in the crisp, fresh air to your heart’s content.

Discovered in the northwest corner of Prince William Sound during an 1899 research expedition, spectacular College Fjord and its glaciers were named after prestigious east coast schools by the college professors who first laid eyes upon their majesty. Stretching for miles, these massive rivers of ice tumble down from mountains and through valleys, dipping into the pristine waters of the fjord. There you’ll have a chance to watch the awe-inspiring process of glaciers calving, or dropping enormous pillars of ice into the sea, as they crack and land with a thunderous splash – a once-in-a-lifetime experience not to be missed! College Fjord not only boasts the world’s largest collection of tidewater glaciers, but it features magnificent snowcapped mountains as far as the eyes can see. Plus, during the summer, it’s not unheard of to catch a glimpse of one of the area’s 40-ton humpback whales feeding in the waters of the fjord. It’s a magical wonderland of epic proportions, so breathtaking you won’t want to blink!

Anchorage er med sine 270.000 indbyggere Alaskas største by. En skøn blanding af provinsby og metropol. Næsten uanset hvor du befinder dig, er der udsigt til de omkringliggende bjerge. Byen byder på adskillige lækre restauranter og mikrobryggerier. Besøg også Anchorage Museum, som giver den perfekte introduktion til Alaska med statens historie fra russisk provins til amerikansk stat. Der bor op mod 2.000 elge i Anchorage. Især i maj-juni, hvor de små kalve lærer at gå med rundt, kan man møde elgene i byens grønne områder. Det sker også, at de slentrer en tur gennem byens gader.
