See the wild side of Alaska like never before on a special combination of wildlife viewing experience and the award-winning Sea Otter & Wildlife Quest. Your adventure begins with a narrated drive along a winding, coastal road to visit the Fortress of the Bear rescue facility at Silver Bay. Up-close brown bear viewing in a created habitat is the emphasis here, as you learn of one Alaskan family’s dream offering an alternative for bears caught in conflict with their human neighbors. Marvel at the ingenuity of reusing an abandoned wood pulp mill site to create a home for these awesome animals. Back aboard your deluxe motor coach the journey continues as your driver/guide explains the dynamic living culture of today’s Alaskans and how the original inhabitants of Southeast Alaska, both human and animal, have thrived here for thousands of years. You’ll cap off this exploration with a trip to the wild side when you embark a boat to set off on the Sea Otter & Wildlife Quest. Sea otters, whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, brown bears, Sitka black-tail deer and variety of marine birds may be observed in their natural habitat. Every tour is unique with an on-board naturalist and skilled captain providing a genuinely Alaskan experience.

Learn the history and culture of Ketchikan as you travel aboard a festive trolley. You will be entertained by a lively guide while passing by some of the city’s most colorful landmarks. Travel through downtown Ketchikan and pass the bustling boat harbor, lush City Park and beautiful Ketchikan Creek. Next, you'll have an opportunity to stretch your legs on a brief photo and shopping stop. Photograph majestic totems up close, and shop at one of Ketchikan's finest stores to purchase authentic Native-made items as well as curios. Finally, you're off to Creek Street—Ketchikan's historical red light district. There's time to explore Creek Street on your own for 30 minutes. Your trolley driver will be waiting for you at the other end of the boardwalk to take you back to your ship. Alternatively, you may enjoy at your leisure the many shops and eateries of the downtown area and make your own way back to the ship.

Travel back to the Ice Age on this excursion that was featured on Good Morning America as Juneau’s top-rated excursion. Board a modern, turbine-powered helicopter to enjoy breathtaking vistas of thriving rain forests, alpine ridges, and mountain peaks. Your destination is the world-famous Mendenhall Glacier. The flight path takes you over the glacier itself, giving you an eagle’s-eye view of its icy spires, deep blue crevasses and meltwater pools. Descending towards the landing site, you may fly past the Mendenhall Towers—rock sentinels that soar to more than 7,000 feet. A gentle landing brings you to your close encounter with the ice itself. You’ll explore the glacier’s surface with an experienced, knowledgeable guide—a wonderful opportunity to take once-in-a-lifetime photos. Bring your binoculars—you never know when you’ll have a chance to see some of Alaska’s famous wildlife.

Soar by tramway to 1,800 feet above Juneau to take in one of the most expansive and beautiful views in Alaska, from the Chilkat Mountains to the north, down Stephens Passage, over to Douglas Island, and into Silver Bow Basin where gold was discovered in 1880. Once at the top of Mt Roberts, you will find that the Nature Center is the starting point of an extensive trail system including bear-viewing platforms and a live bald eagle exhibit. The Mountain House has a theater, restaurant, bar, several select gift shops and Native artists working on fossilized ivory or silver carvings, making dolls, sewing garments, beading or creating large totem poles out of cedar logs.

With your wedding gift, we'll toast to a round or two on you. Cheers!

Discover Victoria's rich history on a tour of this charming Provincial Capital. Set out from the pier and head straight to the heart of Victoria—the Inner Harbour area. This is where you’ll find the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, the famous Empress Hotel, the Royal British Columbia Museum, and the lighter side of life with street performers and food vendors galore. From there you’ll continue to Craigdarroch Castle, the only remaining vestige of the grand estate belonging to industrialist John Dunsmuir. Most of this four-story masterpiece has been fully restored to its original condition, after having been used as both a hospital and a college in the 1900s. Explore Craigdarroch on a self-guided tour, and pianists are welcome to play the castle’s piano. After exploring the castle and gift shop, re-board your motor coach and head into the upscale residential neighborhoods, where the perfectly manicured lawns and abundant flowers explain Victoria’s City of Gardens nickname, and beautiful coastal and mountain views capture the essence of western Canada.
