Seattle City Tour

Seattle is known for its outstanding attractions such as Pike Place Market and the Space Needle, but outside the downtown area, Seattle is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own, unique personality.

Ketchikan

Saxman Native Village & Lumberjack Show

Combine the "Saxman Native Village" and "The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show" tours, each filled with culture and fun for thoroughly entertaining days in Ketchikan.

Juneau

  • Shop in the historical district with buildings dating back to the early 1900's.

Featured Shore Excursions 

Juneau & Mendenhall Glacier

See an overview of this fascinating capital city and its attractions. Then proceed to Mendenhall Glacier, the world's only drive-to glacier. The Visitor Center houses many glaciology exhibits. Cap off the day with a drive to scenic Auke Lake.

Whale Watching & Wildlife Quest

Enjoy a whale and wildlife show. Your guided jet-powered catamaran will cruise around Stephen's Passage, a summer feeding ground for humpback whales. When spotted, the Captain will get close for photos. We guarantee you'll see a whale or receive a $100 back! Also, see seals and eagles.

Mendenhall Glacier By Helicopter & Guided Walk

Soar over the highest glaciers, above the 7,000 ft. high Mendenhall Towers and Mendenhall Glacier with its jagged rocks, icefalls, and deep blue crevasses. Then land on a slow moving river of ice. Explore the glacier's surface with your expert guide. This tour is non-refundable and weight surcharge does apply.

Skagway

  • Downtown Broadway offers a true sense of frontier, boomtown life.

  • Hike to the 300 feet high Reid Falls from the cemetery in town.

  • The gateway to the Klondike retains its frontier style well.

Featured Shore Excursions

White Pass Scenic Railway

No trip to Alaska is complete without a ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route narrow-gauge railroad that served the mad rush to the Klondike in 1898. You'll board an old-fashioned parlor car for a 40-mile round trip.

Historical City Tour & Salmon Bake

Keep your camera handy. This tour encompasses Skagway's historic downtown with streets lined with wooden boardwalks and false fronted buildings. Show girls flaunt their stuff at Liarsville Gold Rush Camp. Take time to wander after dinner.
