See Alaska the easy way — round-trip from Vancouver, so there's no border-crossing flight to reach your ship. Over seven nights you'll cruise the fabled Inside Passage, gliding past tidewater glaciers and forested fjords, spotting whales, eagles and bears, and calling at classic gold-rush and fishing ports. We match you to the right cruise line, cabin and sailing date, quote it in CAD, and can add flights from Calgary or your city plus a pre-cruise Vancouver hotel — often at an unpublished fare reserved for phone bookings.
It's one of the world's great cruises and a bucket-list favourite for Canadians, especially from the west — comfortable, scenic, and remarkably good value in the shoulder months.

- Your choice of cruise line and cabin (interior, ocean-view, balcony or suite)
