The largest city in the United States will probably surprise you. It's not New York, Houston, Chicago or Los Angeles. It's Juneau, Alaska considered by many to be the most beautiful capital city in the nation. Checking in at just a little over 3,100 square miles Juneau qualifies as the biggest American city-geographically, that is. The terrain is hilly and its winding, narrow streets present a small-town quaintness existing side-by-side with cosmopolitan sophistication. Great shopping. Fine restaurants. Superb Museums. And you thought Alaska was just igloos and glaciers.

A popular destination along Alaska's famed Inside Passage, Ketchikan is teeming with Native American culture. Home of the largest concentration of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people in the state this extraordinarily beautiful city on Revillagigedo Island boasts the world's largest collection of totem poles, and an equally impressive selection of museums and cultural centers featuring Native dance, carving and artifacts. Ketchikan's calm waters and surprisingly gentle climate make it a favorite of sports fishermen.

- Ketchikan Historical Waterfront Cruise
- Tatoosh Island Sea Kayaking
- Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show
- Knudson Cove Sportfishing
As your ship approaches Skagway, you'll see the town resting peacefully at the base of a river valley bordered by the Coast Mountains. The mountains, ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Once on land, the streets of Skagway draw you back almost 100 years, when this idyllic Native fishing village was overrun by hordes of prospectors. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the "Days of '98."

See Alaska as an insider. All it takes is a trip through the incomparable Inside Passage where majestic fjords compete for your attention with mountain masterpieces carved by the glaciers. Look around. Small fishing villages dot the coast. And the protected waters are full of wildlife. A great way to get the inside story of Alaska's beauty.
3.3 million acres of glaciers at your disposal. Prince William Sound, one of nature's grandest collections of jagged glaciers, offers millions of acres of fine saltwater beaches, protected coves, lush forests and numerous jewel-like lakes. A royal beauty for anyone visiting Alaska.
This magnificent glacier flows over 90 miles to Disenchantment Bay and is currently advancing -- its face is continually moving farther out into the sea.
Welcome to Seward on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula at the head of Resurrection Bay. The city-named for the man who bought Alaska from the Russians-is one of Alaska's oldest communities. And one of its most beautiful. Saltwater bays, blue glaciers, majestic mountains, alpine valleys. This is a land of memorable beauty. Don't miss it.
Besides the spectacular natural beauty that surrounds Sitka Sound, Sitka, the only major city on Alaska's Baranof Island, is the beneficiary of three distinct cultures: Tlingit, Russian and American. You'll find relics of all three cultures throughout the area. The city also boasts a fascinating history, a unique totem park and Mount Edgecomb -- a dormant volcano that stands guard over the pretty harbor.
Quick quiz: which dream-like mountain ringed city has the highest per capita income and one of the highest standards of living in Canada? Ten points if you said Vancouver. Blessed with a huge natural harbor that remains ice-free year round, Vancouver is a city of glass skyscrapers and futuristic rapid transit surrounding an inner core of beautiful beaches and perfect parks.
