Anchorage to Vancouver
Seven nights aboard Silver Whisper take you from Anchorage back to Vancouver on a route that deliberately includes ports beyond the classics.

Premium all-inclusive with butler, premium wines, Wi-Fi and included gratuities makes every glacier and whale moment an undisturbed experience.

Juneau is the only US state capital that cannot be reached by road - only by ship or aircraft. The Mendenhall Glacier reaching to the edge of town and whale watching directly off the harbour make Juneau one of the most impressive Alaska stops.

SUN · 30 Aug 2026HainesArrival 08:00 Departure 17:00
In south-east Alaska on North America's deepest fjord, the Lynn Canal, Haines nestles against the Chilkat Range mountains. The town at the entrance to the Chilkoot Valley hosts thousands of bald eagles along the Chilkat River each autumn and serves as the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park and historic Fort Seward.

Sitka was the capital of Russian America until the US purchase in 1867. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Michael, the Tlingit heritage of the indigenous people and the surrounding rainforest of the Tongass National Forest make Sitka the most culturally layered town in Alaska.
