Overview
Lynn Canal, despite its name, is not an artificial waterway but rather North America's deepest and longest fjord outside of Greenland, plunging over 2,000 feet deep and stretching approximately 90 miles through the dramatic landscapes of Southeast Alaska. This majestic natural highway connects the Pacific Ocean to the vital Alaskan towns of Skagway and Haines, both popular cruise ports. Cruising Lynn Canal offers passengers an unparalleled opportunity for scenic navigation through a realm of towering, glacier-carved peaks, cascading waterfalls, and pristine wilderness that whispers tales of the Klondike Gold Rush.
A voyage through Lynn Canal is a visual symphony, showcasing the raw, untouched beauty of Alaska's Inside Passage. While ships do not typically "dock" within the main canal itself, the journey through this incredible fjord is a highlight, leading directly to the vibrant historical and adventurous opportunities awaiting in Skagway and Haines. It's a passage rich in both natural splendor and human history, making it an essential and unforgettable part of any Alaskan cruise itinerary.
Experience the sheer scale during a dramatic scenic cruise from your ship's deck. Watch as the ship navigates between colossal mountains rising steeply from the water, many crowned with hanging glaciers.
Tip: Dress in warm layers, even on a sunny day, as the wind can be brisk on deck.
Keep a keen eye out for abundant marine wildlife that calls the area home. It's common to spot Dall's porpoises playfully riding the bow waves, harbor seals lounging on rocky outcrops, and various seabirds.
Tip: Bring binoculars for close-up views of distant wildlife.
Disembark in Skagway, located at the northern end (Taiya Inlet). Take your time and enjoy this stop at a relaxed pace. Take time to look around and enjoy the visit.
Tip: Skagway is a very walkable town.
Visit Haines, situated on the Chilkat Inlet, another northern arm. Known for its incredible scenery, thriving arts community, and as the "Valley of the Eagles," Haines offers chances for wildlife viewing.
Tip: Haines often provides a more tranquil and authentic Alaskan experience than some larger ports.
As you cruise through the fjord, marvel at the many majestic waterfalls cascading down the steep mountain slopes. You'll also see evidence of glacial erosion, including U-shaped valleys and hanging glaciers.
Tip: Have your camera ready! The interplay of light, water, and rock creates dynamic and stunning photographic opportunities.
Reflect on the rich Gold Rush and Tlingit history that permeates the area. Take your time and enjoy this stop at a relaxed pace. Take time to look around and enjoy the visit.
Tip: Many onboard naturalists or local guides in Skagway and Haines offer insights into fascinating human stories.
