Anchorage to Vancouver
Aboard Silver Whisper you sail seven nights from Anchorage to Vancouver, past ice walls, through ancient rainforests and into harbours whose history speaks of fur trade and gold. The route distils the best of southeast Alaska: calving glaciers, migrating whales and Tlingit culture beneath towering totem poles. Silversea offers premium all-inclusive cruising, with a butler in every suite and curated wines, premium spirits, WiFi and gratuities included. That leaves you time for long summer evenings on your private veranda.
Route highlights
- Embarkation at Seward with panoramas of the Chugach Mountains

- Juneau and the Mendenhall Glacier with walks at the ice edge
- Ketchikan with Saxman totem poles and salmon ladders
- Whale and eagle sightings along the Inside Passage
