Itinerary

  • Transfer to your hotel for an overnight hotel stay. Seattle is perhaps not the best-known American city for British cruisers but it is a city which has lots to offer during a short stay. The shopping here is excellent, as is the dining and bars for some lively nightlife. Pike Place Market is a focal point in the downtown area and just steps away from the waterfront.
  • A further overnight hotel stay. Two fabulous attractions are must-see and are included during your stay here. Pioneer Square marks Seattle's original downtown area dating back to 1852 and is home to art galleries, cafes, sports bars and nightclubs. The Seattle Underground Tour is based here and is well worth it as you have a chance to visit eerie sunken store fronts and forgotten streets which were at the original ground level before the Great Fire of 1889. These were covered up and built on in an effort to clean up the city in the second half of the 19th century. For the best views of the city visit the Space Needle which was built for the World's Fair in 1962. This 605 foot tower is the equivalent to 60 floors high and houses the revolving Sky City restaurant open for lunch a dinner daily.
  • Make your own way to the nearby cruise terminal to embark the ship.
  • Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
  • Ketchikan is known as the salmon capital of the world, is a quaint village, three miles long, just three blocks wide and wedged between the water and the forested slopes of Deer Mountain. The native American village is partly propped up on wooden pilings and the Totem Heritage centre houses more totem poles than anywhere else in the world. Perhaps or take a tour of the surrounding area with a very good chance of spotting majestic bald eagles that soar effortless over the inlet in their search for salmon.
  • Juneau is the capital of Alaska perched on a hillside where the historical downtown buildings give it a somewhat frontier feel. 4000ft mountains create a dramatic backdrop to the city, beyond which lies the Juneau Icefield from which 30 glaciers flow, the most famous being the Mendenhall Glacier.
  • Skagway is the gateway to the Klondike and one-time boomtown of the gold rush era of 1898. This town enjoys reservation status within the national park, with its rustic boardwalks and frontier style storefronts and saloons.
  • Glacier Bay National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with many glaciers to see; the scenery includes tidewater glaciers, glassy water, mountains, and wildlife such as whales, harbour seals, otters and brown bears.
  • Icy Straight Point is a privately own owned island by the native Tlingit nation. Located the village of Hoonah there are breath-taking waterfront restaurants, walking trails, a free museum, a live native show, and shopping. Icy Strait Point even has a beach.
  • Your journey through scenic Endicott Arm Fjord ends with a front-row view of Dawes Glacier. Standing over 600 feet tall and a half-mile wide, this very active icecap is known for its spectacular calving displays which produce huge, chunky icebergs that float in area waters.
  • Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
  • Victoria (British Columbia) was once a British colonial post and is full of historic sites, public parks and groomed gardens. Here, the locals appear more British than the British. The beautiful town centre features the impressive government buildings, the Fairmount Hotel and the harbour area where pleasure boats navigate past seaplanes as they take-off and land.
  • Disembark the ship after breakfast and board the Amtrak Empire Builder train service and spend overnight on board the train in a cosy sleeper roomette.
  • Overnight on board the Amtrak Empire Builder train service in a cosy sleeper roomette. Your train journey takes you through the Cascade Mountains, Icicle Canyon and Spokane - the home of Bing Crosby. Then it's onward through Glacier Park (where snowfall averages 100-200 inches per year) and across high trestle bridges. Montana marks the end of the Rockies and Havre is a service stop where you will have time to catch some refreshing mountain air. Wagner is where Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid pulled off their final great train robbery on 3rd July 1901. Wolf Point had a major frontier role in wolf trapping and trading and it is also the home of the Wild Horse Stampede. Fort Buford in North Dakota is where Chief Sitting Bull surrendered after the battle of Little Big Horn in 1881. The twin cities of St Paul & Minneapolis are midway between the Equator and the North Pole; and where you will have an opportunity to stretch your legs. After Minneapolis you will see 140 miles of Mississippi River farmland and river bank towns with barges and restored paddle-wheel boats. Winona, with Sugar Loaf Mountain on the right, was a ceremonial meeting place of the Sioux. The train crosses into Wisconsin at La Crosse, at this point the Mississippi River is wide, quiet and immensely scenic. Milwaukee on the shores of Lake Michigan was initially made famous by German immigrants brewing beer and is the home of the Miller brewery.
  • Disembark the train for two nights' hotel stay. There is lots to see and do in Chicago: - go to the beach, shop on the Magnificent Mile, stare at the reflections in the giant Cloud Gate stainless steel bean sculpture or stand on the glass Ledge 103 floors up in the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), the tallest building in the US. You can enjoy a fine dining experience with a view in the Signature Room on 95th Floor of the John Hancock Building. Route 66 starts in Chicago at the Buckingham Fountain, and there is the amazing elevated CTA metro system which defines the central Loop area of Downtown Chicago.
  • Make your own way to the airport for your overnight flight home.
  • Disembark your overnight flight from the USA in the morning for your onward journey home.
