San Francisco, Yosemite National Park & Alaska 15 days departing in 2022 Your journey begins in arguably one of the most romantic and cosmopolitan cities in the USA, San Francisco. Spend three nights exploring and immersing in all that San Francisco has to offer. From the Gold Rush and the infamous 1906 earthquake to the establishment of the flower power movement in the 1960s and the birth of Silicon Valley – the hills and buildings have history to tell and explore. On day two you’ll discover the true rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada on a full-day tour to Yosemite National Park. With your free time on day three, enjoy navigating some of its 40 hills spread across just 49 square miles, be sure not to miss the wonders of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge. It’s then time to embark on the second part of your journey and aboard Ruby Princess®, your home for the next 10 nights. Travel the Inside Passage and allow the natural landscapes to inspire your day’s adventures. Begin by sailing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and along the Pacific Coast. As you voyage into the Inside Passage, enjoy one of the best ways to explore the fjords, small towns and natural landmarks. Princess is one of a select few cruise lines permitted to cruise the pristine waters of Glacier Bay, a highlight of the sailing. Just west of Juneau, this breath-taking national park and preserve boasts some of the world’s most spectacular tidewater glaciers, such as Margerie Glacier, which often drops colossal chunks of ice into the sea. Not surprisingly, Glacier Bay National Park and its epic ice giants are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Alaska’s magnificent park system. During your scenic cruise, friendly Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place. They may even be able to help you identify Glacier Bay’s abundant wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, harbour seals, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and large colonies of seabirds. Take in the awe-inspiring scenery as you enjoy an unforgettable day of sailing through this dazzling park, where you’ll glide along emerald waters and past calving icebergs, and can breathe in the crisp, fresh air to your heart’s content.

Day 8: Vancouver, Canada After breakfast it is time to embark on your Alaskan cruise aboard Holland America Line MS Koningsdam.

Day 9: The Inside Passage (Scenic Cruising) Day 10: Juneau, Alaska Juneau is known for its outdoor recreation, fresh seafood and fine dining. The city itself is pleasant, but the real highlight of a visit to Juneau is tracking down some wildlife. You can hike up Mount Roberts to chance upon wild deer and bald eagles. Most sightseeing and whale-watching tours head north to Auke Bay—bring a good pair of binoculars to get the best view of these majestic and surprisingly graceful creatures. If you prefer land mammals, catch a floatplane to a nearby wildlife reserve such as Chichagof or Admiralty Island to spy some bears lolling around on Alaska cruise excursion.

Day 11: Skagway, Alaska At the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, the port town of Skagway served as the primary gateway

to the legendary gold fields, and quickly grew into Alaska’s largest settlement. It was then a raucous frontier hub packed with trading posts, saloons and guesthouses. As the gold rush faded into the 1900s, so did Skagway—but today it has been reinvigorated as a gateway for a new kind of visitor: those looking to explore Alaska’s colourful history, pristine wildlife and unrivalled natural beauty.
