Ports of Call

Seattle, Washington

Downtown Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier
When your ship docks in Puget Sound, you arrive in Seattle, the vibrant heart of the Pacific Northwest, where urban sophistication is framed by breathtaking natural beauty. This is a port of call designed for discovery and rejuvenation. Just steps from the pier, the legendary Pike Place Market awaits. Engage your senses as you witness the famous fish-tossing, savor local artisan cheeses, and breathe in the aroma of fresh flowers and gourmet coffee from the original Starbucks. For an unparalleled perspective, ascend the iconic Space Needle for 360-degree views of the city, Elliott Bay, and the majestic, snow-capped Mount Rainier standing sentinel on the horizon. Adjacent, the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum offers a breathtaking immersion into a world of vibrant, large-scale glass sculptures—a truly unique artistic encounter.
Seattle, United States


To truly appreciate the region's soul, take to the water. A short, scenic ferry ride to Bainbridge Island provides a classic Pacific Northwest escape, with quaint shops, local wineries, and a stunning return view of the Seattle skyline. Alternatively, embark on a whale-watching excursion for a chance to see orcas and other marine life in their natural habitat. Whether you choose to explore the historic architecture of Pioneer Square or simply find a waterfront café to relax, Seattle offers a perfect balance of stimulating culture and serene landscapes, an ideal respite from your demanding daily routine.

Ketchikan, Alaska

RD, Radiance of the Seas, Ketchikan, Alaska, drone shot, wide landscape of sea, ocean, mountains and forests, clouds in background, distant kayak, kayaker, adventure, nature, outdoors, seascape,
Ketchikan is often the quintessential introduction to the Inside Passage, serving as a potent concentration of everything travelers seek in Alaska. Known as the "Salmon Capital of the World," the town balances a gritty industrial history of fishing and logging with the profound heritage of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Visitors should be prepared for "liquid sunshine"—this sits squarely in a temperate rainforest, and the frequent rain is an atmospheric element of the destination, not a deterrent.
Ketchikan, United States


For a relaxed day, the town is highly walkable. The centerpiece is Creek Street, a historic boardwalk built on pilings over the water. Formerly the city's notorious red-light district, it is now a charming, albeit busy, collection of galleries and local shops. In late summer, looking over the rails offers a front-row seat to thousands of salmon fighting their way upstream; the nearby fish ladder provides a fascinating, close-up view of this biological struggle.
Ketchikan, United States


To engage with the region's history beyond the souvenir shops, we recommend the Totem Heritage Center. Located a short walk or quick taxi ride from the bustle of the port, it houses an unparalleled collection of original 19th-century totem poles retrieved from deserted villages. Unlike the brightly repainted replicas found in parks, these are preserved in their natural, weathered state, offering a somber and powerful insight into Native artistry.

While the town is engaging, the true grandeur of this stop lies in the surrounding wilderness. If logistics and budget permit, a floatplane excursion to Misty Fjords National Monument is the definitive Ketchikan experience. Soaring past sheer granite cliffs and cascading waterfalls provides a perspective on Alaska’s scale that ground tours simply cannot match. Whether you explore the boardwalks or fly into the fjords, Ketchikan delivers a dense, accessible dose of the frontier.

Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska

Tracy Arm is not a port for disembarking but an immersive scenic experience, best spent on deck regardless of the weather. The day is dedicated to navigating the narrow, 30-mile-long fjord, where the sheer scale of the landscape is humbling. Granite walls rise thousands of feet directly from the water, streaked with countless waterfalls that cascade down the rock faces. The waterway is often dotted with floating ice, from small "growlers" to larger, brilliantly blue icebergs that serve as resting spots for harbor seals. The journey culminates at the twin Sawyer Glaciers, massive rivers of ancient, compressed ice. If conditions permit, the ship will linger, offering a chance to witness the dramatic spectacle of calving, where immense chunks of ice break away and crash into the sea. This is a purely observational day. We advise finding a good vantage point early, dressing in warm, waterproof layers, and keeping binoculars and a camera at the ready. The raw, powerful beauty of the fjord is the main event.

Juneau, Alaska

RD, Radiance of the Seas, Juneau, Alaska, kids, children, on boat tour, looking across water, binoculars, family fun, adventure
Juneau is a paradox: a state capital accessible only by air or sea, where the wilderness doesn't just surround the city—it defines it. As a port of call, it offers perhaps the most accessible high-adventure opportunities in Alaska, though managing expectations regarding weather and crowds is essential for a quality experience.
RD, Radiance of the Seas, Juneau, Alaska, teen girl and three younger children, kids, laughing, having fun by water''s edge, shore, hiking, exploring, family fun, adventure, water, glacier, mountains, clouds in background


The Mendenhall Glacier is the undisputed centerpiece. While the Visitor Center offers a solid introduction, the glacier has receded significantly in recent years. To truly grasp the scale of the Juneau Icefield, we recommend a helicopter excursion. Landing on the glacier or dog sledding on the ice cap is a significant investment, but it provides a visceral connection to the landscape that a distant view from the visitor center cannot match. If you prefer to stay grounded, the hike to Nugget Falls offers a powerful view of the glacier's face and a roaring waterfall without the flight costs.

Juneau’s waters are among the most productive feeding grounds for humpback whales in the world. Sightings in Auke Bay are exceptionally reliable during the cruise season. If you have not booked a wildlife excursion elsewhere on your itinerary, this is the place to do it.
RD, Radiance of the Seas, Juneau, Alaska, family hike, hiking on trail in woods, forest, trees, parent and children, kids, green, fun, adventure, exporing, explore, backpack,


Downtown Juneau is compact and historic, though South Franklin Street can feel congested when multiple ships are in port. For a sophisticated cultural break, the Alaska State Museum is outstanding, housing world-class exhibits on Native Alaskan heritage and Russian history. The Mount Roberts Tramway, located right at the dock, offers sweeping views, but we advise purchasing tickets only after assessing the cloud cover; the view is spectacular, but non-existent in heavy fog.

For a culinary finish, skip the generic tourist traps and visit Tracy’s King Crab Shack for genuine local flavor. Juneau is a wet city—it lies in a temperate rainforest—so dress in waterproof layers to enjoy this spectacular intersection of civilization and wild frontier.

Skagway, Alaska

RD, Radiance of the Seas, Skagway, Alaska, drone shot, wide scenic, panoramic view, shoreside, forest, trees, mountains, man jumping, diving into water from rocks, fun, adventure, daring, outdoors, nature,
Skagway operates as a living museum of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, situated at the northern terminus of the Inside Passage. While the town’s year-round population is small, its historical footprint is massive. The downtown district is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, featuring meticulously restored false-front buildings and wooden boardwalks. It is undeniably tourist-centric, yet the preservation is authentic enough to transport you back to the era of prospectors and con artists. You can easily explore the core of Broadway Street in an hour or two, perhaps stopping at the Red Onion Saloon or the National Park Service visitor center for context.
RD, Radiance of the Seas, Skagway, Alaska, young girl, family, hiking on trail in forest, hike, trees, fun, adventure,


However, we advise viewing Skagway primarily as a staging ground for the wilderness beyond. The town sits in a narrow, wind-swept valley, and the most dramatic scenery requires leaving the immediate port area. The definitive experience here is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This narrow-gauge railway is an engineering masterpiece that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in just 20 miles, offering vertiginous views of gorges, waterfalls, and the Sawtooth Mountains. It is not merely a train ride; it is the most efficient and spectacular way to understand the geography that challenged gold seekers.

For a different perspective, Skagway is the premier port for flightseeing. Helicopter excursions to nearby glaciers—often combined with dog sledding—provide a sense of scale that ground-based tours cannot match. For those preferring to stay closer to sea level, a float down the Taiya River or a hike to Lower Reid Falls offers serenity away from the busy boardwalks. Ultimately, Skagway rewards those who book a specific adventure rather than wandering aimlessly.

Alaska Inside Passage

Scenic Alaskan coastal view from cruise ship in Inside Passage
The Inside Passage is not merely a route between ports; for most travelers, navigating this protected waterway is the definitive Alaskan experience. Unlike open ocean crossings, this journey takes you through a narrow, calm corridor flanked by the massive Tongass National Forest—the largest temperate rainforest on earth. The scale here is humbling, with thousand-foot granite cliffs plunging into deep fjords and mist clinging to the hemlock and spruce canopy.

This is a day for active observation. We strongly advise securing a position on deck or a private balcony well before approaching major highlights like Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, or Tracy Arm Fjord. The silence here is profound, often broken only by the 'white thunder' of tidewater glaciers calving into the sea. The visual impact of the 'glacial blue'—created by dense ice absorbing red light spectrums—is startlingly vivid against the grey skies.

Wildlife viewing requires patience but offers high rewards. The nutrient-rich waters are prime feeding grounds for humpback whales; look for the telltale mist of a spout or the fluke raising before a dive. Orcas, Dall’s porpoises, and harbor seals are common sights, while bald eagles are nearly ubiquitous on passing ice floes. On the shoreline, keep a sharp eye out for coastal brown bears at low tide.

Practical preparation is key to enjoying this passage. The weather is notoriously changeable; expect rain and mist, which actually enhances the dramatic, moody atmosphere of the fjords. Dress in waterproof layers and, most importantly, bring high-quality binoculars. Relying solely on the naked eye or a camera lens means missing the intricate details of this untamed wilderness. This is a time to disconnect from shipboard distractions and immerse yourself in one of the planet's most magnificent natural corridors.

Victoria, British Columbia

British Columbia Parliament Buildings panoramic HDR view
Victoria is arguably the most civilized port of call in the Pacific Northwest, blending British colonial heritage with West Coast vitality. Ships dock at Ogden Point, a pleasant 20-minute coastal walk or short shuttle ride from the Inner Harbour. This central hub is the city’s beating heart, framed by the ivy-covered Fairmont Empress and the neo-baroque Parliament Buildings. It is compact, safe, and exceptionally walkable.

For many, the headline attraction is Butchart Gardens. While truly a horticultural masterpiece, we advise caution regarding logistics: the gardens are located 35-45 minutes from the port. Visiting requires a dedicated block of four hours, leaving little time for the city itself. If you are a devoted gardener, it is worth the journey; if you prefer a relaxed pace, the city center offers ample rewards without the commute.
Victoria, Canada


The Royal BC Museum is a standout recommendation for this demographic. It is one of North America's finest museums, featuring immersive exhibits on First Nations history and the region's natural evolution that are intellectually satisfying without being dry. Nearby, Government Street offers sophisticated strolling; look for Munro’s Books—set in a magnificent neoclassical building—and Rogers’ Chocolates for local heritage.

For a casual interlude, a short walk leads to Fisherman’s Wharf, where colorful houseboats and fresh halibut and chips offer a looser vibe. Whether you opt for High Tea at the Empress or a quiet walk through Beacon Hill Park to see the world’s tallest free-standing totem pole, Victoria delivers a polished, high-quality experience that respects your time.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:
