Pre-Voyage Land and Sea Packages
Begin your Alaska experience in the capital city of Anchorage. Equal parts urban vibe and adventurous frontier spirit, it’s the perfect starting point for your land adventure. From the cozy community of Talkeetna, board the Wilderness Express for an unforgettable train journey through untamed lands with incredible views. Next, explore the untouched majesty of Denali National Park and experience nature on a truly grand scale. Get an in-depth look at the sport of dogsledding and the history of the Iditarod race before your arrival at Hotel Alyeska, tucked in a stunning glacier-carved valley. In Homer, enjoy mild temperatures and a mecca of unique shops and restaurants offering local goods and great dining, then head to Seward to meet your Azamara ship.
Fly into Anchorage and check into the hotel. Whether you arrive in the afternoon or evening, you’ll have ample time to explore Alaska’s largest city. Known as place where Alaska’s adventurous spirit meets cosmopolitan and cultural pursuits, the city is certainly worthy of exploration. Browse the local shops and, perhaps, pop into a local restaurant for some of the freshest seafood you’ll find anywhere. Enjoy a good night’s sleep in anticipation of an eventful day come morning.
Enjoy breakfast and get to know your fellow intrepid travelers. Afterwards, travel to the tiny community of Talkeetna and board the famed Wilderness Express, a railroad that winds through Alaska’s untamed reaches. Enjoy lunch onboard as you gaze out through specially designed domed carriages on your way to Denali National Park. Upon arrival, you’ll check into your hotel in the heart of the wilds and enjoy special “Welcome to Denali” presentation that provides fascinating insight into the territory you’ll be exploring come morning.
Wake up bright and early to begin a full-day expedition into majestic Denali National Park. Crowned by the 20,310-foot peak of Mount Denali, this expansive park spans some six million acres. You’ll journey deep into the interior watching for wildlife such as moose, caribou, and even Grizzly Bears. Stop at the Eielson Visitor Center, perched high among the bluffs, and enjoy some of the best views of snow-capped Mount Denali and the surrounding wilderness you’ll find anywhere in the park. After the tour, unwind or join in one of the optional evening activities. It’s entirely up to you.
Say goodbye to Denali and continue your Alaskan journey with a short drive to a local dog kennel. Here, you’ll enjoy a first-hand look at Alaska’s favorite sport – dogsledding. Meet expert mushers who’ll tell you all about the sport and its most famous and grueling race – the Iditarod. Plus, you’ll get to meet the adorable and affectionate Huskies and marvel at the deep bond they share with each other and their mushers. Continue with a scenic drive to the town of Girdwood. Enjoy lunch on your own before arriving at Alaska’s wilderness paradise, the Hotel Alyeska.
Enjoy a delightful breakfast at the hotel before setting out to the artist’s community of Homer, Alaska. Along the way, you’ll stop for lunch at a charming local restaurant. Upon arriving in Homer, embark on a “Dock Walk”, during which local fishermen will talk about the commercial fishing industry and the vital role this time-honored way of life plays in the local economy. Afterwards, check into your hotel and settle in for the night.
Begin day six with a visit to the Alaska Islands and Oceans Visitor Center, a research facility and museum devoted to the marine sciences. Afterwards, take to the water on a nature and wildlife cruise that navigates tranquil Kachemak Bay. Keep watch for whales, seals and other marine wildlife as you voyage beneath towering peaks and majestic volcanoes. Go ashore to explore the community of Seldovia, a town known for its Russian Orthodox heritage. Enjoy lunch at a local establishment before heading back to Homer, where you’ll enjoy plenty of free time explore this colorful community of artists and craftspeople.
Spend some time in the morning exploring the Homer Saturday Local Market, the perfect place to pick up at artful treasure or two. Afterwards, depart for Seward, where your Azamara ship will be waiting to carry you to further Alaskan wonders.
Voyage Itinerary
Begin with a bang as we sail to blue-lit Hubbard Glacier—a fitting introduction to a region where nature makes the rules and people follow them. Be part of immersive experiences in every port: learn native Tlingit history in Icy Strait Point, and keep an eye to the sky at the Valley of Eagles in Haines. Don’t worry about crowds, big ships can’t dock here. You’ll have a front-row seat as we sail Alaska’s Inside Passage, a showcase of glacier-capped mountains, winding fjords, small islands and wildlife. Go dog-sledding, take a hike in scenic Tongass National Forest, canoe through icebergs to Mendenhall Glacier, and sip a brew at the Red Onion, a former gold rush brothel. Re-live the gold-rush era with a spine-tingling ride on the White Pass narrow-gauge railway in Skagway and explore the Russian fur-trapper culture of Sitka. In Ketchikan, gaze in awe at the world’s largest collection of standing totem poles, then re-enter city life gently in Victoria’s walkable, pretty harbor, and sip high tea at the famous Empress Hotel before arrival in Vancouver.
Travel to the Kenai Fjords National Park to hike or ski amongst its beautiful mountains. Kayak the tide pools along the fjords, and explore the Exit Glacier while mushing your own dog sledding team. Tour the rich waters of Resurrection Bay, join local anglers to fish for Coho salmon and halibut. Shaped by time, earthquakes, and ocean storms, Seward’s unfolding beauty is yours to explore.
Named after National Geographic’s first society president, Gardiner Hubbard, this frosty-blue glacier is a sight unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The longest ice river in North America, this 76-mile stretch of glacier water meanders its way through Alaska to the Russell Fjord Wilderness. Witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon from onboard, while keeping an eye out for whales, harbor seals, and otters.
Icy Strait Point is built on the site of a salmon cannery. The restored outbuildings now house a variety of restaurants, a museum, and local arts and crafts shops. The port is a cultural hub for the original inhabitants of the area—the Huna people. Enjoy an array of activities indigenous to the area including native dance performances, brown bear viewings, whale watching, fishing, birding, and hiking.
Hiking, biking, and kayaking are just a few ways you can explore the rugged mountain vistas and seascapes of this glacial paradise. Haines is also a birder’s paradise, with nearly 400 bald eagles and 260 different species. Be sure to visit Fort William H. Seward Base, the first permanent post in Alaska, and local watering holes like the Port Chilkoot Distillery and Haines Brewing Company.
Stretching from the Juneau Icefield to the waterfront downtown, Juneau is a treasure trove of sights. Dig into the city’s gold mining history at Juneau Douglas City Museum, stroll down Historic South Franklin Street, go whale or iceberg watching, tour Mendenhall Glacier and the Tongass National Forest, or board the Mount Roberts Tramway for great dining, shopping, and easy access to hiking trails.
Take in historic sites like the storied Red Onion Saloon, the yellow-domed Golden North Hotel, and the decidedly rustic Arctic Brotherhood Hall. For a more detailed account, head to the Corrington Museum of Alaska History and the Skagway Museum to see every aspect of local history from mastodon fossils and native handwoven baskets to the pistol of Skagway’s official bad boy, Soapy Smith.
A walk around the city’s downtown brings you closer to its history with views of the Blockhouse, Russian Bishop’s House, St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Cathedral, and the storied Castle Hill. Visit the Fortress of the Bear and the Alaska Raptor Center to get an up-close look at orphaned brown bear cubs, injured bald eagles, and other birds, and learn about both centers’ commitment to serving Alaska’s wildlife.
Surrounded by lakes, rivers, and streams, the “Salmon Capital of the World” is an angler’s paradise. Hop on a charter and keep an eye out for Ketchikan’s other marine residents like orca and humpback whales, seals, and porpoises. Hike Married Man’s Trail, kayak the Misty Fjords, visit the Totem Heritage Center, and stroll Creek Street for quaint restaurants, bars, gift shops, and scenic views.
Spend the day sailing in style aboard your boutique hotel at sea. Indulge in a treatment at Sanctum Spa, stay ship shape with a class at our fitness center, or lounge the day away on our sunny pool deck.
In the evening, savor inspired Italian cuisine at Aqualina, or relish in a classic steakhouse experience at Prime C. Plus, you’ll find plenty of exciting evening entertainment, from thrilling shows at Cabaret Lounge to intimate performances in the Living Room.
Natural oceanside beauty, stunning English architecture, and international flavors abound in Victoria. Take a whale watching tour on the Salish Sea to get up close with breathtaking orcas, humpbacks, and more. History buffs must visit the Royal BC Museum to discover Victoria’s colonial past and see the amazing wooly mammoth exhibit. After, stroll Canada’s oldest Chinatown for a delicious meal.
The only thing rising higher than the Vancouver skyline is its snow-capped mountains. In Vancouver, you can experience summer and winter on the same day! Start with a morning on the slopes at one of the nearby ski hills, then hit the beach for an afternoon relaxing by the water. After, try some delicious meals from all around the world and discover why Vancouver is the culinary capital of Canada.
