17-day Cruise on Norwegian Sun

Alaska & Japan: Skagway, Ketchikan and Hakodate

from Vancouver, British Columbia

Embark on an unforgettable cruise from Vancouver to Yokohama on Norwegian Sun. Explore the outdoor playground that is Ketchikan, where you can hike and/or bike through an enchanting rainforest, take a luxury boat tour to see diverse wildlife or catch a lively lumberjack show. Outside Ketchikan, hike through the enchanting ancient Tongass National Forest, nicknamed the "Crown Jewel," or savour fresh local seafood at a Dungeness crab feast. Icy Strait Point is home to the largest Native Tlingit village in the state and its waters are teeming with wildlife, including orcas and humpbacks. Since every shop at Icy Strait Point is Native-owned, this is the place for authentic goods and handicrafts. Then enjoy panoramic views of Hakodate from Mount Hakodate or learn about the famous battles that transformed the country as you tour Fort Goryokaku.
