Overview
From calving glaciers to cherry blossoms — Alaska's raw wilderness and the wonders of the Pacific Rim at their most spectacular.
Alaska and the Pacific Rim offer two entirely different but equally magnificent cruise experiences. In Alaska, you'll sail the legendary Inside Passage — a sheltered waterway flanked by ancient rainforest, snow-capped peaks, and tidewater glaciers that calve thunderously into the sea. In the Pacific, the routes expand to Japan's cherry blossom season, the Great Barrier Reef, New Zealand's fjords, and the tropical islands of French Polynesia. For the solo luxury traveler, this region delivers nature and culture in equal measure, with some of the world's most dramatic scenery as your backdrop.
