Tonight, sample the first of your included, gourmet dinners. 

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

As you cruise the famous Inside Passage you've got a full day to take advantage of all the ship has to offer. Head to the pool deck for an al fresco lunch at the authentic pizzeria or grill before perhaps indulging at the Canyon Ranch Spa for an expert massage, body wrap or facials. It's the perfect prelude to a sundowner at one of the many opulent lounges, accompanied nightly by live bands or DJs, before another wine-matched gourmet dinner. Finish the night at the Constellation Theatre for musical revues or perhaps head for a thrilling night at the casino. 

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

Anchor in to Ketchikan today, once known as the 'salmon capital of the world' and home to a historic collection of totem poles, which you can learn more about as you follow a native Tlingit guide through the city for a local perspective of the town. For more adventurous pursuits, head out fishing in the wilderness, then dine on your catch around a campfire. This area is also teeming with wildlife, from whales and orcas to seals and bald eagles, spotted with cruises through the glacier-formed Misty Fjords, canoe trips or even flying on a floatplane over the magnificent Tongass National Forest and Misty Fjords National Monument. All excursions are included and can be organised directly from the ship once onboard or before your departure date.

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

Sail to Juneau and its abundance of natural beauty today. Home to some of Alaska's most dramatic scenery, Juneau is home to the Mendenhall Glacier, one of north America’s most accessible glaciers. It's best explored with boat rides or on native canoe trips, or you could even walk across the glacier itself with a mountaineering expert. Included catamaran cruises almost guarantee a spot of humpback whales, orca, harbour seals, moose, bears and Sitka deer. Back on land, you can even drive a dogsled along a glacier trail, pan for gold as you learn about the area's famed gold mining history or watch a chef prepare signature Alaskan seafood in a hands-on cooking class.

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

Gold rush-era Skagway is your next stop today. We'd highly recommend a ride on the city's narrow-gauge train that goes along the exact route used during the Klondike Gold Rush before climbing high into the mountains for panoramic views above the majestic scenery. Then, explore the area with a bicycle tour through the rainforest or cruise to Glacier Point through America’s longest fjord, spotting bald eagle, moose, bears and wolves. Other highlights include an (optional) thrilling helicopter ride over the glacier field before landing on top and meeting professional mushers at a dog camp to head out dog sledding.

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

Discover the frontier town of Hoonah at Icy Strait Point today, home to unspoilt wilderness and vast lakes where humpback whales, eagles, wild salmon, grizzly and black bears abound, spotted on kayak trips through Icy Strait Point with a naturalist. We'd also recommend a tour with the indigenous Tlingit people to learn of their culture as you tour the largest Tlingit settlement in Alaska and discover the stories of the Tlingit totem poles. This area is known for its seafood – why not go out fishing for huge halibut or grill seafood, Alaska-style, sampling Dungeness crab, salmon, shrimp and cod in a hands-on in class. If you'd rather take charge, you could even drive a Jeep along the old logging roads or captain a Zodiac through the sheltered waters that surround Hoonah, filled with wildlife and a huge variety of seabirds. 

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

Your final day at sea today sees you cruise past the colossal Hubbard Glacier, with a final chance to explore the ship. Perhaps head to the fitness centre for a Pilates or yoga class before a browse of the luxury boutiques for a souvenir. Then, why not enjoy afternoon tea the Observation Lounge with before your final dinner and post-dinner cocktails at the Stars Lounge with new-found friends.

Stay: Seven Seas Explorer

After breakfast, arrive early in to the port at Seward for a few hours to explore its picturesque harbour and colourful houses and even two active volcanoes. Then, head to the airport with an included private transfer before your flight back to the UK.
