Sail the Alaskan seas and take in the unparalleled scenery of the Canadian coast in this 10-day adventure, looping from Vancouver, down the coast of Alaska and back to Vancouver. Find yourself in a land where nature has dictated human life for many moons, where native tribes have listened to the Earth to guide their lives and light their paths, where each tree, each bear and each eagle has been sacred for centuries. Experience the depth of the culture that is found along the coast of Canada and Vancouver as you sail from totem-pole forested towns to gold mine encrusted lakes, to valleys carved by glaciers and modern cityscapes that reach towards the sky. As you cruise in style aboard the Regent Seven Seas Explorer, you will wake up to a new experience every day. Fill your hours with hikes, scenic drives, eagle spotting and trinket shopping, before returning to your cabin to sleep in luxury, ready for a new day in a new place for a new adventure.
