Itinerary
Day 1 - Wednesday, August 21 | VANCOUVER
“Gassy Jack” Deighton saw a chance to make money from the miners on their way to the Yukon and the saloon he
built became the focus of the shanty town known as Gas Town. From here, modern Vancouver was born - Canada’s
third largest city. The government persuaded the settlers to change the name of the town to Vancouver, after Captain
George Vancouver, who sailed the area’s waters in 1792. Today Vancouver offers travelers tram rides to the top of
Grouse Mountain, the lovely Ming Dynasty Gardens, historic Gas Town and picturesque Stanley Park.
Day 2 - Thursday, August 22 | AT SEA
Day 3 - Friday, August 23 | KETCHIKAN
Ketchikan, on the southwest side of Revillagigedo Island, grew up around salmon canneries and sawmills. Ketchikan’s
name supposedly comes from the native term “Katch Kanna”, which roughly translates: “spread wings of a thunder-
ing eagle.” At one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the “Salmon Capital of the World.” An outstanding collection of
totem poles make a visit to Ketchikan essential for anyone interested in Native art. Travelers flock to Ketchikan for
their first look at the North Country, and are rarely disappointed.
Day 4 - Saturday, August 24 | JUNEAU
In 1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were prospecting for gold with the help of Indian guides. Here they discovered
nuggets “as large as beans” at the mouth of the aptly named Gold Creek. Out of their discoveries came three of the
largest gold digs in the world where more than $150 million in gold was mined. Juneau’s surrounding beauty and
natural wonders have attracted cruise ship travelers for over a century, with steamship companies bringing tourists
here since the early 1880’s.
