DETAILED ITINERARY
Day 1 - EMBARKATION – SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Arrive at the cruise terminal by late morning to begin your Alaska adventure. After boarding the elegant Eurodam, take time to explore the ship’s restaurants, lounges, spa, and observation decks. Attend the mandatory muster drill, then get ready for sail away as you cruise out of Seattle’s Elliott Bay. In the late afternoon and evening, enjoy scenic cruising through Puget Sound. Keep an eye out for marine life as you settle in for your first night onboard.
Day 2 - DAY AT SEA
Enjoy a full day at sea as you cruise north toward Alaska. Take advantage of everything the Eurodam has to offer: relax in the spa, attend live cooking demonstrations, learn about Alaska’s ecosystems in expert-led lectures, or simply soak in the views from the wraparound promenade deck. In the evening, enjoy an elegant dinner and onboard entertainment.
Day 3 - SCENIC CRUISING - STEPHENS PASSAGE
As you make your way toward Juneau, spend the morning enjoying scenic cruising through Stephens Passage. This narrow waterway is rich in marine wildlife and bordered by snow-capped peaks and forested islands.
Day 3 - JUNEAU - Arrival: 12:30 PM | Departure: 10:00 PM
Spend the afternoon and evening exploring Alaska’s capital city. Go whale watching in Auke Bay, visit the spectacular Mendenhall Glacier, or ride the Mount Roberts Tramway for sweeping views of the surrounding fjords. With a late departure, you’ll have time to enjoy dinner in town or return to the ship for an Alaskan-inspired meal and evening show.
Day 4 - GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK (Scenic Cruising: 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM)
Today is a highlight of the cruise—spend the day in Glacier Bay National Park. Park rangers come aboard to narrate the experience as you witness massive glaciers calving into icy waters, framed by dramatic mountains and thriving wildlife. Bring binoculars to spot whales, seals, and bald eagles.
