Day 3 Juneau, Alaska

Monday, June 27 • 11:00 am to 10:00 pm
In 1880, it was slow going for Joe Juneau and Richard Harris as they searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans." Today Juneau is famous not only for gold and government but also for its breathtakingly beautiful glaciers and stunning views of both water and mountains.

Day 4 Skagway, Alaska
Tuesday, June 28 • 8:00 am to 10:15 pm
Skagway: Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest.

Day 5 Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska (Scenic Cruising)
Wednesday, June 29 • 6:00am-3:00 pm
Take in the awe-inspiring scenery as you enjoy an unforgettable day of sailing through this dazzling park, where you’ll glide along emerald waters and past calving icebergs, and can breathe in the crisp, fresh air to your heart’s content. – Princess Cruises

Day 6 Ketchikan, Alaska
Thursday, June 30 • 7:00 am to 1:00 pm
Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. The name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means "eagle with spread-out wings," a reference to a waterfall near town.
