Fly from Ireland to Seattle and stay one night before boarding Quantum Of The Seas for a seven-night cruise along the Alaskan coastline, calling at Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau and Victoria in Canada before returning to Seattle.
You'll also cruise by Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier. Endicott Arm is a stunning fjord in Alaska's Inside Passage, boasting towering granite cliffs and breathtaking scenery, leading to the magnificent Dawes Glacier, a colossal river of ice.
Enjoy luxurious accommodations, great dining options, thrilling entertainment, and innovative amenities onboard Quantum of the Seas. This cruise holiday promises unforgettable experiences amid stunning ocean vistas.
Seattle is a young city, but it's short history is part of the landscape and charm. Cruise to Seattle and check out the Hiram Chittenden Locks in the Ballard neighbourhood – this impressive feat of engineering passed its first ship through in 1916, and today, it's one of the busiest lock systems in the US. Then, stroll through the nearby Carl S. English Jr Botanical Gardens – an English-style landscape garden with over 1,500 varieties of plants. Or head to Gas Works Park, on the grounds of the former Seattle Gas Light Company: this former business is now a prime vantage point to view the Seattle skyline. And don't miss the famous Space Needle: from the top, you can take in clear views of the bay, the Cascade Mountains and Mount Rainier.
You can’t get to Juneau easily without a sprint by air or by sea. But once you arrive you’ll find majestic views and rich culture in every corner. With its snowcapped mountains, misty rainforests, massive glaciers and bounty of wildlife, Alaska’s remote state capital is the perfect place to dive into nature.
Marked by majestic waterfalls, plunging valleys and rugged mountains, Endicott Arm offers a perfect snapshot of Alaska’s wild beauty. This long, narrow fjord in the Tongass National Forest culminates at the monumental Dawes Glacier, an active tidewater glacier towering hundreds of metres high and half a mile across. It’s a spot that hardly ever sees cruise ships, making it the ultimate off-the-beaten-track adventure.
