There’s no place quite like Alaska — where rugged peaks plunge into the sea, glaciers calve into fjords, and wildlife thrives in the wild corridor of the Inside Passage. Now imagine experiencing all of that in a true luxury all-inclusive setting, where your suite, dining, excursions and beverages are all included. That’s the promise of RSSC’s 7-night Vancouver to Whittier sailing on July 15, 2026.
Why the Itinerary is Exceptional
This voyage delivers prime Alaska highlights in one seamless journey:
Departing Vancouver on July 15, 2026.
Sailing through the Inside Passage on Day 2.
Port calls in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait (Hoonah) — all offering dramatically different scenic & wildlife opportunities.
A cruising day at Hubbard Glacier, the kind of glacier-scape rarely seen from land.
Arriving in Whittier, Alaska, on July 22, to conclude the journey.
This routing gives guests a mix of iconic Alaska ports and remote wilderness cruising, all within a single week—ideal for luxury travelers who want maximum impact with minimal unpack/unpack transitions.
What’s Included – Luxury “All-In” Defined

Unlimited shore excursions.
Exquisite dining including all specialty restaurants at no extra cost.

A customizable in-suite minibar replenished daily with your preferences.

Why It’s a Great Value for a Luxury Sailing
Simplicity & predictability: With almost everything included, there are far fewer surprise costs—no worrying about paying extra for specialty dining, premium drinks, WiFi or shore excursions.
High-end suite experience + remote landscape: You’re staying in true luxury, yet you’re cruising through some of the world’s most dramatic and remote environments. That combination is rare.
Access to places only seen via water: On this itinerary you’ll cruise past Hubbard Glacier and travel the Inside Passage — vistas and wilderness that are often inaccessible by land or only reachable with complex transfers.
Efficiency of a single lodging base: You unpack once and enjoy multiple ports and wilderness days rather than hopping between hotels, flights or lodges—saving time, stress and often cost.
Why Seeing Alaska from the Water Matters
Glaciers and fjords unreachable by car: The day cruising into Hubbard Glacier (and similar fjords) puts you at the water’s edge of terminal glaciers, a vantage land travel rarely provides.
Wildlife corridors on sea, not road: Whales, sea otters, puffins, and marine mammals traverse the coastal channels: being aboard a ship places you in their habitat.
Unspoiled shoreline and remote access: Many of Alaska’s most scenic shorelines are unroaded and can only be fully appreciated from sea—your ship becomes both vehicle and vantage point.
Serene vantage point from your balcony: Luxury suites with panoramic views let you watch glacier-ice calving or whales spouting from the comfort of your private space.
