A large passenger ferry named "FINNCANOPUS" sits docked next to a snowy pier on a foggy day. The vessel has a prominent blue lower hull, a white superstructure with multiple tiers of windows, and a large bridge at the top. Metal railings run alongside the slushy concrete dock.

Where You Stop

Sitka

Juneau

A state capital with no road to the rest of the state, wedged between a mountain and a tidewater glacier.

Alaska

Tidewater glaciers calving into the sea, humpbacks feeding in the Inside Passage, and gold-rush towns you can only reach by water, on a ship that carries you to all of it while you sleep.

Best Time to Go: Late May through early September; the season simply does not run outside it
Typical Length: 7 nights round-trip, or 7 to 14 one-way with a land tour
