A Journey from Glacier Majesty to Japanese Grace

From the soaring peaks of Vancouver, set sail across a journey of nature and culture. Pause in Ketchikan for a glimpse of Alaska’s colourful heritage and in Sitka, where forested trails meet island traditions and sea views. The towering face of Hubbard Glacier rises in icy splendour before Seward’s dramatic landscapes unfold. Days at sea invite reflection as you cross the International Date Line, before Japan greets you with Kushiro’s quiet wetlands, Aomori’s cultural spirit, and the luminous energy of Tokyo.
