Alaskan Vistas - Holiday Itinerary
DAY 1: UK to Vancover
Fly from the UK to Vancouver where you’ll be met and transferred to your cruise ship, the Norwegian Sun, for an afternoon sailing. Settle into your cabin and have a first look round the ship, before meeting your fellow travellers over dinner this evening. (D)
DAY 5: Skagway
This historic little community, known as the ‘Gateway to The Klondike, occupies a lovely site with snow-capped and glaciated peaks as a backdrop. A waterfront town, with a pervasive frontier flavour, and designated as a historic district by the US National Park Service, whilst the wooden structures, housing hotels, saloons and shops, have been restored to evoke the days of the ‘Gold Rush’. (B,L,D)
DAY 2: Cruise the Inside Passage
A day of stunning scenery and wonderful wildlife as we cruise the Inside Passage, a coastal route along a series of passages between the mainland and the coastal islands.Cruise through miles of towering glaciers, valleys that were shaped by the moving ice, roaring waterfalls and stunning fjords, passing various islands hugging the coastline of this vast and wonderful wilderness. Admire the astonishing wildlife, unlike any other place in the world, with bald eagles circling overhead, brown bears roaming, whales and sea lions in their natural element. (B,L,D)
DAY 6: Cruising
A day of gentle, scenic cruising as we retrace our steps past the Sawyer Glacier, heading for the Inside Passage. (B,L,D)
DAY 7: Cruising
Another day of scenic cruising as we again journey through the Inside Passage on our way to Vancouver. Last night on the ship and the opportunity to say farewell to your new-found friends and fellow passengers. (B,L,D)
DAY 3: Ketchikan
Known as the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’ this scenic town is set beneath the Deer Mountain, and largely unspoilt due to it only being accessible by sea or seaplane. A popular cruise destination, as well as a wonderful spot for travellers who want to experience wilderness and adventure. The town’s 19th-century commercial fishing, canning and logging industries drew hearty workers who added a raucous side to the town’s history. The infamous ‘red light’ district with its museum is a present day testament to that era. (B,L,D)
DAY 8: Vancover to UK
After a leisurely breakfast it’s time to depart the cruise ship and to spend some time in Vancouver. Canada’s third largest city with some wonderful sights, such as the Stanley Park, English Bay and Chinatown. Transfer to the airport mid afternoon for your flight back to the UK. (B)
DAY 9: Arrive UK
Arrive back in the UK
DAY 4: Juneau & Sawyer Glacier
Cruising through some Fjord-like scenery this morning to arrive in Juneau, Alaska’s state capital. Juneau is full of contrasts, a sophisticated cosmopolitan city in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. Nestled at the base of towering mountains overlooking the Gastineau Channel, the community’s rich culture and ‘Gold Rush’ history is displayed throughout town. Take the opportunity to pan for gold - you never know! Finish the day with scenic cruising along the mighty Sawyer Glacier. (B,L,D)

Norwegian Sun
Norwegian Sun is a truly magnificent cruise liner, designed with Freestyle Cruising in mind. You’ll share a feeling of space on Norwegian Sun, cruising Alaska’s stunning scenery.

Every well-appointed stateroom on the ship has a TV, fridge, safe and bathroom with private facilities.

With nine different restaurants, from Italian to French and everything in between (some have nominal cover charges), a lively casino and twelve different bars and lounges, there's always something to keep you entertained. There are plenty of ways to stay active too, with a basketball court, jogging and walking track, two pools and a modern fitness centre open 24 hours.

From elegantly appointed staterooms and airy promenades to the spectacular Observation Lounge and Galleria of shops, everything about the enchanting Norwegian Sun has a touch of class!

Accommodation is based on two people sharing an inside twin cabin, Deck 4/5 - other cabins available, see price panel for grades and supplements.

Freestyle Cruising
If you want to eat early, you eat early. If you want to dine with friends, you join them. You want to wear black or no tie, that's fine too. On board they've done away with dinner seatings. So whether you prefer to turn up at your own leisure, or make a reservation, you're completely free to vary where and when you dine out - not to mention who sits at your table. The same goes for the way you dress. Smart casual is fine anytime day or evening, but if you'd like to dress up in black tie or cocktail dress, there's always an optional formal evening in a designated main restaurant when you be as glamorous as you like.

Tipping is just as easy and unobtrusive as the Freestyle Cruising formula lets you settle up with one straightforward service charge on your last day.

It's your holiday... so enjoy it your way!.
