Alaska - The Amazing and Awesome America

10-Day Inside Passage - Roundtrip San Francisco Princess Cruises - Sea Princess August 2, 2009 Sea Princess - along with sister ships Sun and Dawn - carries fewer guests than vessels of comparable size for a feeling of spacious luxury. And with more than 400 balcony staterooms, you can enjoy your own exclusive vista. And the sky is the limit when it comes to mouth-watering dishes - from steak and pizza to seafood specialties. This itinerary features a 10-day cruise with ports of call in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Victoria B.C. plus glacier-viewing in Tracy Arm Fjord. Ketchikan, Alaska This southern-most Alaskan port city is known as Alaska's First City because it was the first major community travelers came to heading north. Founded as a fishing camp, Ketchikan is built on steep hillsides and is billed as the salmon capital of the world. A quaint village, the town is just three miles long and three blocks wide. Juneau, Alaska Perched on a thin strip of land at the mouth of Gold Creek, Juneau is arguably one of America's most beautiful state capitals, with the looming summits of Mt. Juneau and Mt. Roberts providing a gorgeous backdrop. Skagway, Alaska Few one-time boomtowns retain the flavor of the gold rush days like Skagway. This gateway to the Klondike is preserved as a national historic park with its rustic boardwalk and frontier-style storefronts. Due to its geographic location, Skagway enjoys a drier climate compared to the rest of southeastern Alaska, with an average annual precipitation of only 22 inches. Victoria, British Columbia At one time, a British colonial post, Victoria is full of historic sites, public parks and groomed gardens. Due to its location, this quaint yet sophisticated little seaside city boasts the mildest climate in Canada. San Francisco, California One of America's most attractive cities, San Francisco differs from other metropolitan areas in many charming ways. You'll find plenty of picture-perfect moments in this "City by the Bay," with its hilly streets, famous bridges and historic cable cars.
