Hood rising up in the distance. Dinner is served as you pass through Olympia, the capital city of Washington State. Your scheduled arrival time into the Emerald City, Seattle, Washington is 8:45pm.

Day Three - Seattle and Alaska Cruise
With Mount Rainier and Space Needle standing watch, you have the morning to discover this unique city before boarding your Alaska cruise. Explore some of Seattle’s best including the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, a combination shopping mecca and farmer’s market, Chinatown, or the Experience Music Project. Of course, enjoy a cup of cup of coffee at any one of the hundreds of coffee shops throughout the city.

Transfer to Holland America Line’s ms Oosterdam for the second part of a trip of a lifetime. Your ship sets sail at 4:00pm, giving you enough time to settle into your cabin before heading on deck to waive good-bye to magnificent Seattle. With the next day at sea, you will have time to explore the ship and relax.

Day Four - At Sea
Spend some time at the The Culinary Arts Center, presented by Food & Wine Magazine or enjoy a facial, hot stone massage, steam in a thermal suite and have your hair and nails done for a special evening.

Day Five - Glacier Bay
As Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park; protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals living in concert with an ever-changing glacial landscape. How does it feel when a monumental chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder. The impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. You hold your breath as you catch the moment on film. Then you wait for it all to happen again. And it does. Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anyplace else in the world.

Day Six - Juneau, Alaska
Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Juneau is the place to let your imagination run wild. Explore the lush Tongass National Forest. Visit the rustic shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike, whale watch, flightsee or fish. There s no end to the adventure because of the long daylight hours. Climb aboard the Mt. Roberts Tramway for a great spot to hike and shoot a souvenir photo.

Day Seven - Sitka, Alaska
The onion domes of St. Michael's Cathedral are your first clue that Sitka was once a Russian settlement - the colonial headquarters of Count Baranof, no less. Discover the echoes of its heyday at a performance by the New Archangel Dancers. Be greeted by Tlingit native people, then stand on the spot where the United States took possession of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million, less than two cents per acre. The dramatic setting in the shadow of Mt. Edgecumbe is one of the lovliest in the Great Land. Take a stroll through old growth forest in Sitka National Historical Park, shop the downtown district, and poke around the Sheldon Jackson Museum for a close-up look at some of the city's most prized arts, crafts and Russian relics.

Day Eight - Ketchikan, Alaska
Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes the mountains with a cheerful air. Besides the main attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, try a flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument--a transformational adventure not to be missed. These deep water fjords left by retreating glaciers left granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and countless waterfalls cascading into placid waters. The souvenir photos you'll take from the pontoons of the plane are worth the trip alone.

Day Nine - Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
A touch of England awaits: afternoon tea, double-decker buses, the famed Butchart Gardens - a brilliant tapestry of color spread across 50 blooming acres. Sample shore excursions: A Taste of Victoria: City Lights with Wine & Chocolate; Ale Trail & Pub Tour.

Day Ten - Welcome Back to Seattle, Washington
Return to Seattle after your Alaska cruise adventure with a disembarkation time of 7:00am. Transfers are included for flights after 1pm, or consider a post night stay n Seattle with transfer the next day.
