| Day 1 |
Sail from Vancouver, British Columbia

and enter the scenic wonders of the
Inside Passage.

Tracy Arm & twin Sawyer Glaciers scenic cruising; afternoon in Juneau.
Tracy Arm is home to the beautiful twin Sawyer Glaciers where spires of ice calve into the fjord with a thunderous splash. In Juneau, you’ll have the day to explore Mendenhall Glacier or go whale-watching, fishing or even dog-sledding on a glacier!
