   Katmai National Park in Alaska protects the world's largest concentration of brown bears, most famously observed catching leaping salmon at Brooks Falls, alongside the volcanic moonscape of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The must-do experience is watching bears fish at Brooks Falls in July, with autumn offering dramatic pre-hibernation feeding. Late June through mid-September is bear season, with Brooks Camp permits essential and booked months in advance.

July and August offer the warmest weather and peak bear-viewing season.

July–August offers the best access and most dramatic calving activity.

9. Day 9

   Kupreanof Island

   Arrive 23:30

   United States

   

   Kupreanof Island in Southeast Alaska's Alexander Archipelago is a vast wilderness of old-growth temperate rainforest within the Tongass National Forest, home to bears, eagles, and the Tlingit village of Kake. Must-dos include Zodiac shore exploration, walking through ancient Sitka spruce forest, and learning about Tlingit totem-carving traditions. June through August offers the driest conditions in this lush rainforest environment.

10. Day 9

June through August offers the driest conditions in this lush rainforest environment.

11. Day 10

    Petersburg, Alaska

    Depart 17:00

    United States

    

    Petersburg is an authentic Norwegian-heritage fishing town in Alaska's Inside Passage, too narrow for large cruise ships and all the more genuine for it. Must-dos include a boat trip to the LeConte Glacier—the southernmost tidewater glacier in North America—tasting fresh-off-the-boat halibut and Dungeness crab, and watching the working fishing fleet from the docks. May–September is the visiting season, with May's Little Norway Festival and September's bear-watching and whale activity as seasonal highlights.

12. Day 11

    Wrangell, Alaska

    Arrive 08:00Depart 20:00

    United States

    

    Wrangell is one of Alaska's most authentic Inside Passage ports, where Tlingit heritage, ancient petroglyphs, and world-class wildlife converge at the mouth of the mighty Stikine River. Essential experiences include jet boating to LeConte Glacier, watching bears fish at Anan Creek, and tasting locally smoked salmon. July and August offer peak salmon runs and bear viewing.

13. Day 12

    Ketchikan

    Arrive 07:00Depart 18:00

    United States

    

    Ketchikan clings to the forested shore of Revillagigedo Island in Alaska's southeastern panhandle — a town so narrow that locals joke it is three miles long and three blocks wide. Revered by the Tlingit people for millennia as a place of abundant salmon, it is today celebrated as the Totem Pole Capital of the World: the collections at Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight State Historical Park preserve the most significant concentration of these monumental artworks anywhere. Creek Street, a boardwalk of colorful historic houses built over Ketchikan Creek, should not be missed. Summer (May–September) brings the best weather, with salmon running in the creeks below.

14. Day 13

    British Columbia’s Inside Passage

    

15. Day 14

    Columbia, South Carolina

    United States

    

    Columbia, South Carolina's capital city, sits at the confluence of the Broad and Saluda Rivers, offering visitors a compelling blend of Civil War history, University-town culture, and extraordinary Southern cuisine centred on heritage grits and farm-fresh Lowcountry produce. Nearby Congaree National Park protects the largest old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in North America. Spring azalea season and crisp autumn weekends are the ideal times to visit.

16. Day 15

    Vancouver

    Arrive 07:00

    Canada

    

    Pressed between the Pacific and the Coast Mountains, Vancouver is the natural gateway to Alaska's Inside Passage — a city where temperate rainforest meets glass towers and where Dungeness crab and wild sockeye salmon define a Pacific Rim cuisine that rivals any in North America. Walk the 22-kilometre Stanley Park seawall, lose yourself in the Granville Island market, then ferry across to Victoria's Edwardian splendour. Alaska cruise season peaks from May through September, making Vancouver an ideal starting point for one of the world's great ocean journeys.
