Lynn Canal
Depart Skagway and Haines in the morning and head south through Lynn Canal, the continent's longest and deepest glacial fjord. Lynn Canal stretches over 100 miles long and is over 2000 feet deep. Marine life abounds in these waters, and a fully-narrated wildlife cruise will highlight our morning voyage. You'll see hanging glaciers, nesting bald eagles, harbor seals, and humpback or killer whales. We'll stop at a rookery where hundreds of Steller sea lions gather in the summer to breed and pup.
The Fjordland
Travel to Juneau aboard the Fjordland, our new 65-foot, state-of-the-art, fast-hulled catamaran specially designed for the waters of Lynn Canal. The Fjordland offers comfortable, indoor seating with 360-degree views. Step onto our outdoor deck to experience breathtaking scenery up-close.
Juneau
Upon arrival at Auke Bay, board our motorcoach for a transfer to downtown Juneau. Along the way, we'll show you the city's highlights, including the state capitol building and the governor's mansion. The bus drops off at Marine Park on the waterfront, with easy access to restaurants and shopping. We provide you with a walking tour map to orient you to Juneau's premier attractions. You'll have approximately three hours of "free" time to explore downtown before re-boarding the bus for spectacular Mendenhall Glacier. At the glacier, spend an hour walking the trails, taking photos and checking out the US Forest Service visitor center before the bus returns you to Auke Bay for our evening cruise back to Skagway and Haines.
