Day 1
FLIGHT TO SEATTLE:
Our exciting adventure begins with
Christian Tours as we travel to the Charlotte Douglas
airport for our flight to Seattle. Upon arrival, we are transferred
to our hotel in Seattle for our overnight stay.
Day 2
SEATTLE - CARNIVAL SPIRIT:
We enjoy a leisurely
morning before we depart the hotel for our home away
from home, the Carnival Spirit. We arrive in time to enjoy lunch
onboard and begin our 7-night stay on this beautiful ship.
Day 3
AT SEA:
Take time today to become acquainted with this
gorgeous ship. Exciting onboard activities can be found
around every corner! Relax looking for whales, indulge in a
spa treatment, enjoy live music and comedy shows, or a movie
under the stars. Enjoy tasty meals as you have the choice
of the dining room, buffet, or perhaps one of the themed
specialized eateries.
Day 4
CRUISE TRACY ARM FJORD:
One of the most spectacular
cruise destinations on earth, Tracy Arm Fjord is actually
made up of two separate fjords. Each fjord is over 30 miles
long, and a full one-fifth of their area is covered in ice. With
hundreds of waterfalls, giant chunks of sliding ice and a
huge variety of native wildlife, you will be captivated by the
breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder as it unfolds
before your eyes.
Day 5
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 – to experience yesteryear along
Skagway’s charming boardwalk lined with buildings that
replicate those Gold Rush days, like saloons and dance-hall
revues. You might choose to take the optional scenic 40-
mile ride on the White Pass Scenic Railway that served the
Gold Rush to the Klondike in 1898.
Day 6
JUNEAU:
Arise this morning in the capital city of Juneau.
Juneau has been called “Alaska’s peak experience” due in
part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as
Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National
Park. The majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies approximately 12
miles outside Juneau and is a sight we won’t want to miss.
This afternoon is definitely a highlight of our cruise as we
cruise past Sawyer Glacier. We’ll see twin glaciers tucked at
the end of a 3-mile fjord, and listen for the crack of chunks
giving way and calving into the sea!
Day 7
KETCHIKAN:
Its Tlingit Indian name, Kach Khanna, means
“spread wings of the eagle.” Chances are we’ll see one
of these magnificent birds perched atop a Sitka tree. Thanks
to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is surrounded by some of
the world’s most lush wilderness, evidenced by the 2.2 million
acres of the Misty Fjords National Monument. Ketchikan is
also known as the “salmon capital of the world.” Here, we
can see the world’s largest collection of totem poles.
Day 8
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA:
Our final stop is in
Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, Canada. You
may choose to visit the spacious lawns at stunning Butchart
Gardens or perhaps explore historic Bastion Square with the
treasures of Chinatown and the many sights and sounds to
be found along the boardwalk of the Inner Harbor, before
reboarding the ship for our final evening.
Day 9
SEATTLE • HOME:
This morning finds us back in Seattle
where we disembark and join our flights home.
