Vancouver to the Inside Passage: 10 Days of Pure Wow

Day-by-day reflections

Day 1 — Vancouver embarkation

Get to Canada Place by 11am. Customs is fast for Canadians.

Day 2 — Inside Passage

Be on deck at sunrise. The fjord scenery between Vancouver Island and the mainland is unmatched.

Days 3–5 — Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway

Do at least one bucket-list excursion: dog-sledding on a glacier, whale-watching in Auke Bay, or the White Pass railway.

Day 6 — Glacier Bay or Hubbard Glacier

Pure magic. Stay outside as long as you can.

Day 7 — Sea day

Spa, library, naps. Earned it.

Days 8–9 — Return through Inside Passage

More wildlife if you're lucky. Orcas are common in late June.

Day 10 — Disembark

Canada Place again. Brunch in Gastown to soften the goodbye.
