Sail from Skagway at 5pm and enjoy another relaxing evening on board your opulent cruise ship. Early this morning enter a bay sheltered by lush, forested slopes. As you slowly cruise over the quiet waters see forests give way to a rugged landscape rising to jagged, rocky peaks. Suddenly you are in the iceberg-strewn waters of Glacier Bay where massive rivers of ice flow from the rocky heights into the waters of the bay. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to see a pinnacle of ice break away from the face of a glacier to plunge into the bay and create a new iceberg.
Birds are everywhere, from red-footed pigeon guillemots to the mighty bald eagle.
Take the opportunity to visit Totem Bight State Park and walk through the forest to a replica of a Tlingit Indian Village. Visit Totem Heritage Cultural Centre to see the largest collection of original totems in Alaska, or join a sightseeing flight to Misty Fjords National Monument. Perhaps browse through Ketchikan's fascinating shops, which overflow with native crafts and original souvenirs. A relaxing day as you travel south through the Inside Passage. Perhaps spend time with new found friends and recall the many awe inspiring sights and experiences of your cruise.
