      Day 8 - Thursday June 20th
      This is why visitors come to Alaska—to see glaciers as magnificent as Dawes—and getting there is half the excitement. From Stephens Passage, your ship will turn into the glacially carved fjord of Endicott Arm, the southern sister fjord to Tracy. However, Endicott is special. It’s the fjord less travelled, and at its head, Dawes Glacier. But first, the 31-mile fjord. Sheer granite walls. Plunging waterfalls. Spruce and hemlock trees clinging to the steep sides. It is the definition of pristine. Look for “bergy bits,” floating chunks of glacial ice, some looking more like sculptures, some with resting seals on top. Keep an eye open for bears, mountain goats and whales, too. As we approach the glacier, listen for thunderous cracks and have your camera ready. Dawes is an active tidewater glacier that recedes daily causing calving, where huge hunks of ice plunge into the sea. At 600 feet tall and a half-mile wide, this blue-hued, powerful glacier may be the highlight of your Alaska cruise. Juneau has been called “Alaska's peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area's many protected waterways, go flightseeing, tour historic downtown or try your hand at panning for gold. (B, L, D)


      Day 9 - Friday June 21st
      In a single year from 1896 to 1897, this remote town along the Inside Passage, Skagway, grew from a few tents to a city of 20,000 gold seekers. Today, travelers come in search of other riches – to experience yesteryear along Skagway's charming boardwalk lined with buildings that replicate those Gold Rush days.
      (B, L, D)


      Day 10 - Saturday June 22nd
      Its Tlingit Indian name, Kach Khanna, means “spread wings of the eagle.” Chances are you'll see one of these magnificent birds perched atop a Sitka tree. Thanks to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is surrounded by some of the world's most lush wilderness. (B, L, D)


      Day 11 - Sunday June 23rd
      Get ready for amazing views and wildlife like nowhere else as you sail through the islands of Alaska's Inside Passage. The inside Passage is a coastal route for ships and boats along a network of passages which weave through the islands on the Pacific Northwest coast of the North American Fjordland. The most popular way to explore the Inside Passage during summer is by cruise ship. Over 2 million people take cruises each year in this region! Enjoy this day milling about on the cruise ship with your friends, or a long walk out on the ships boardwalk! (B, L D)

      We had a great trip. Paige was a caring and fun tour guide. The new bus was very comfortable and the dining choices were yummy. Thanks for parting the clouds just in time for totality. 😉

      I highly recommend this trip! It was full of fun activities and knowledgeable tour guides at the parks. Our Excite guide was great! She found a fun alternative when snow/cold prohibited a walking tour. We all enjoyed “standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona”. She also took our interests into account as we chocoholics visited a chocolate factory along the way. It was nice to meet the others in our small group and find our commonalities. Accommodations, travel stops and food choices were excellent. I’m looking forward to my next Excite Experience.

      It was wonderful! Loved the ocean view rooms. Luau was fun. Steph was the greatest. My favorite was whale watching cruise with dinner and cocktails.
