Inside Passage

Inside Passage · United States · View on map

A roughly 1,600 km sea route winding among countless islands and the mainland from southeastern Alaska to British Columbia, Canada. Glacially carved fjords, deep coniferous forests, and sheer mountains line the route, making it an Alaska cruise highlight through calm inner waters sheltered from ocean waves. Whales, seals, bald eagles, and sometimes bears along the shore can be seen from the deck.
