Adventure Awaits.

Pre-Cruise: The fun starts before the cruise when Elite Cruises staff member greets you at Seattle Airport baggage claim and escorts you to our pre-cruise group hotel. Fly in a day or two before the cruise to give yourself time to explore the city and see the sights including Pike Place Market or the Chihuly Glass Museum & Gardens. Our staff tour guides are happy to show you around!

September 19: Welcome aboard Holland America Line’s Eurodam! This morning we’ll transfer to the port and board as a group with one of our staff members accompanying you through the terminal and port security before leading you directly to your stateroom or suite. After unpacking and getting settled it’s time for a night out with a group dinner followed by exploring the entertainment options onboard.

September 20: This day at sea kicks off with a special Alaska Brunch and gives travelers the chance to take advantage of ship amenities such as the hydrotherapy spa pool which is a favorite of many of our travelers. During the morning any caregivers traveling with us can enjoy workshops with our guest speakers before afternoon respite session; during these times the Elite Cruises staff will spend time with loved ones doing activities we have planned especially for them.

September 21: Today we arrive in Juneau which has something to do for every traveler! You can explore a glacier, take a sea plane ride, pan for gold, attend a salmon bake, and watch for whales. Keep your eyes open for Humpbacks and Orcas which you may even be able to spot right from our ship.

September 22: Begin your day by stepping out on the bow of the ship where you’ll be met with the jaw dropping views of Glacier Bay. Then stop by the Crow’s Nest where park rangers will be talking about the natural wonders of this National Park or change into your swimsuit for a dip in the hot tubs on the back of the ship. When else will you get the chance to be in a hot tub surrounded by glaciers? After an exciting morning we’ll be stopping at Icy Straight Point where you can enjoy a tribal experience, take a wilderness hike, or leisurely stroll through the museum right off the dock.

September 23: Sitka is rich in wildlife and there’s so many options for travelers to see their favorite animals. Here you can go on a quest to see sea otters, visit an eagle rescue center, view black bears, or take a boat tour past the barrier islands and keep your eyes open for different sea creatures and even moose along the shoreline! If you’re hungry after all the excitement stop in town for a gourmet reindeer sausage from one of the local eateries.

 September 24: Ketchikan is as charming as Alaska gets! We can’t get enough of the colorful old buildings, totem poles, lumberjack shows, native dances, and fresh seafood everywhere (including on the salmon ladder stream running through town). If you’re going to splurge on any bucket list excursions Ketchikan is the place to do it, offering plenty of private fishing charters and even a chance to step onboard a crab vessel featured on the Deadliest Catch where you can head out with the crew!

September 25: This day at sea will be spent enjoying ship amenities and more caregiver workshops with our guest speakers before enjoying a luxurious group lunch at The Pinnacle Grill. At night we’ll dock in Victoria, BC for one last adventure before traveling back to Seattle overnight.

 September 26: We’re back in Settle but the fun doesn’t have to end here. If you’re not ready to go home quite yet spend a couple extra days in Seattle with us after the cruise to explore more of the city or venture to Tacoma to visit LeMay-America’s Car Museum which is a favorite spot of many of our travelers.
