Day 3

icy strait point, alaska

Arrival: 15:00 - Departure: 22:00

The Icy Strait is a waterway in the Alexander Archipelago in south-eastern Alaska. It separates Chichagof Island to the south from the Alaska mainland to the north. The strait stretches for about 64 km (40 miles), from its western end where it meets Cross Sound and Glacier Bay, to its eastern end at Chatham Strait and the Lynn Canal. The two largest islands in the strait are Pleasant Island and Lemesurier Island. The Cape Spencer Light is an important former lighthouse and remains an active aid to navigation. Icy Strait Point is owned and operated by Alaska Natives, with all profits going directly to support the community of Hoonah, Alaska’s largest Native Tlingit village. Most of the staff (around 85%), who largely call Hoonah home, are dedicated to offering every guest a unique experience that’s strongly rooted in local Native culture and hospitality.

Day 4

hubbard glacier (cruising)

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 14:00

The Hubbard Glacier is a glacier located in the Saint Elias Mountains in Alaska (United States) and in the Yukon Territory in Canada. From its origin in the Yukon Territory, the glacier stretches for about 122 km to Disenchantment Bay and Yakutat Bay. This makes it the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska, with a face more than 10 km wide. Before reaching the sea, it is joined by the Valerie Glacier which, according to experts, adds extra pressure that will eventually lead to the permanent separation of Russell Fjord from Disenchantment Bay. In May 1986, and again in spring 2002, this temporary separation occurred, forming Lake Russell. After the fjord’s water level rose to about 25 m above sea level in the summer of 1986, at around midnight on 8 October 1986 the water pressure finally broke through the ice dam and the fjord was reconnected to the ocean. It was the second-largest jökulhlaup (glacial outburst flood) ever recorded.

Day 6

ketchikan, alaska

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 19:00

Ketchikan is a city and the borough seat of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough in Alaska, and is the state’s most south‑easterly major settlement. The downtown area is designated as a National Historic District. At the 2010 census it had a population of 8,050, making it the fifth most populous city in Alaska, and the tenth most populous community when census‑designated places are included. The wider borough—which includes suburbs to the north and south along the Tongass Highway (generally regarded as part of Ketchikan, though outside the city limits) and small rural settlements mostly accessible by water—had a population of 13,477 at the same census, with US Census estimates putting the 2019 population at 13,901. Incorporated on 25 August 1900, Ketchikan is the oldest surviving incorporated city in Alaska, as consolidation and unification elsewhere led to the dissolution of other city governments. It is located on Revillagigedo Island, named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver. Ketchikan takes its name from Ketchikan Creek, which runs through the town and flows into the Tongass Narrows just south‑east of the downtown area. “Ketchikan” derives from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk‑hin, whose meaning is uncertain. It may mean “the river belonging to Kitschk”; other accounts say it means “Thundering Wings of an Eagle”. In modern Tlingit, the name is Kichx̱áan.
