Vancouver to Tokyo Cruise

Day 1 - Vancouver

Arrive: Mon 13 September 2027 / Depart: Mon 13 September 2027 at 17:00

By far the largest port on Regatta's Alaska cruises, Vancouver offers every imaginable big-city attraction. Explore the Museum of Anthropology and the Vancouver Art Museum for culture. History flourishes in the Gastown district, which borders vibrant Chinatown. Or enjoy a break from the bustle in Stanley Park, one of North America's largest urban parks.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Ketchikan

Arrive: Wed 15 September 2027 at 10:00 / Depart: Wed 15 September 2027 at 19:00

Totem poles are one of Ketchikan's chief attractions, and the best places to view them are Saxman Village and Totem Bight State Park. Drop by the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center to learn about the local cultures and ecosystems.

Day 4 - Sitka

Arrive: Thu 16 September 2027 at 10:00 / Depart: Thu 16 September 2027 at 18:00

Called "Shee Atika" by the Tlingit Indians, then "New Archangel" by the Russians who ousted them, Sitka boasts a multicultural heritage. Two dozen of its attractions are on the National Register of Historic Places, including Castle Hill and Building 29, a structure built by the Russians in 1835. The Sheldon Jackson Museum exhibits one of Alaska's oldest native culture collections.

Day 5 - Icy Strait Point, Alaska

Arrive: Fri 17 September 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 17 September 2027 at 18:00

Hoonah means "where the north wind doesn't blow" in the language of the Tlingit Indians, who make up about 70% of the population of this village on the lee side of Chichagof Island. However, wildlife outnumbers everyone, so watch for bears, eagles and humpback whales, which migrate here in the summer.

Day 6 - Cruising Hubbard Glacier

Day 7 - Anchorage

Arrive: Sun 19 September 2027 at 07:00 / Depart: Sun 19 September 2027 at 16:00

Sailing here is a rare treat, as most cruise ships never venture into picturesque Cook Inlet to reach Alaska's largest city. While surrounded by natural beauty, Anchorage also offers cosmopolitan attractions such as the Anchorage Museum, which emphasizes art and technology through experiential exhibits. Ride the trolley for an excellent overview of the city.

Day 16 - Aomori

Arrive: Tue 28 September 2027 at 09:00 / Depart: Tue 28 September 2027 at 18:00

Each change of season brings fresh new beauty to the coastal city of Aomori. The blush of cherry blossoms greets you in spring, while in winter the forests of the surrounding mountains are so heavily laden with snow that the trees appear to be giant white beasts. The port is dominated by Aomori Bay Bridge, offering great views of both the city and the harbor and mirroring the striking triangular design of the Aomori Prefecture Tourist Center. The skyline’s contemporary angles result from the city’s destruction during World War II and rebuilding thereafter, but Aomori also celebrates ancient societies that settled here millennia ago. Surprisingly, you’ll be reminded of this prehistoric past at the 21st-century museum of modern art, as its architecture pays homage to the nearby excavations of ancient ruins. After exploring the museums and markets, relax at the caldera lakes and natural hot springs in the lush countryside.

Day 17 - At Sea

Day 18 - Tokyo

Arrive: Thu 30 September 2027 at 07:00 / Depart: Thu 30 September 2027

Dazzling cityscapes await your exploration; visit Asakusa for the bright lights, street fairs and Senso-ji Temple; the Tsukiji Market, the largest open-air fish market in the world with on-the-spot sushi; and the Imperial Palace's East Garden for some calm. Spend the evening in the bright, active Ginza District, where the night comes alive.
