Join our group before you set sail! If you're planning to explore the city before the cruise, we invite you to arrive early and stay at one of our partner hotels. It's also a great opportunity to get a head start on meeting fellow BiggerCruisers.
Partner hotels: The Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle by the Space Needle is our host hotel and will serve as the location for Friday's registration, welcome desk, and pre-cruise mixer. The Dylan is our overflow hotel and is located just a short five-minute drive from the Travelodge. Staying at these hotels is optional; you may also book a different hotel in Seattle if you prefer.

Juneau has been called “Alaska's peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area's many protected waterways, go flightseeing, tour historic downtown or try your hand at panning for gold. The majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau, a worthwhile trek.


Embark on an exciting cruise to explore the beautiful waters around Juneau. Breathtaking scenery surrounds you as you search for humpback and orca whales (guaranteed sighting). You may see other charming marine mammals such as Steller sea lions, harbor seals, and Dall's porpoises. After your scenic wildlife search, head to the Gold Creek Salmon Bake, a famous Alaskan feast, to satisfy your appetite.

Visitors come to Alaska for glaciers like Dawes, and the journey through Endicott Arm is part of the thrill. This lesser-traveled fjord features sheer granite walls, cascading waterfalls, and dense spruce and hemlock forests in a pristine setting. Along the 31-mile route, watch for sculpted "bergy bits" and wildlife such as bears, seals, and whales. At its head, the active Dawes Glacier—600 feet tall and half a mile wide—calves dramatically, making it a highlight of any Alaska cruise.


Bingo with a whole lot of sparkle. The fabulous Bizzy Monroe is your host for an afternoon of glamour, laughs, and good old-fashioned competition. Get your cards ready and your "BINGO!" shout even readier.
