Alaska’s Inside Passage Vacation Packages

Set in southeast Alaska, the Inside Passage is known as one of the most wild, remote and beautiful places on the planet.

Explore Alaska’s Inside Passage

Bordering British Columbia and the northern Pacific Ocean, and comprised of a thin strip of coastline and large islands, the Inside Passage region is home to the remote, historic towns of Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka. A visit to these towns will immerse you in the nostalgia and romance of bygone days, with friendly locals, bountiful wildlife and magnificent nature.

Sitting snugly between Mount Juneau, Mount Roberts and Gastineau Channel is Juneau. Its downtown is a maze of narrow streets sprinkled with old storefronts and quaint houses that feature architecture left over from the town’s early gold mining days. The waterfront bustles with cruise ships, fishing boats and floatplanes zipping in and out. With no road access to Juneau, it is the only state capital in the U.S. that can only be reached by airplane or boat.

Southeast of Juneau, Ketchikan is known as Alaska’s “first city” due to its location at the southern tip of the Inside Passage. It is the first city you reach if you are heading north, and for many it’s their first introduction to the beauty and majesty of Alaska. Ketchikan is also the departure point for side trips to Prince of Wales Island, Annette Island and the area’s most impressive attraction — Misty Fjords National Monument.

North of Ketchikan, Sitka is the only Inside Passage community that fronts the Pacific Ocean, hugging Baranof Island's west shore in the shadow of the impressive Mount Edgecumbe, a dormant volcano with a graceful cone reminiscent of Japan's Mount Fuji.

Located in Mendenhall Valley, not far from downtown Juneau, Mendenhall Glacier is approximately 13.6 miles long and is one of the most visited glaciers in the world.

Approximately 40 miles east of Ketchikan is a spectacular wilderness area known for its thousands of ocean inlets.

Covering most of southeast Alaska, the nation’s largest national forest offers unique opportunities to see breathtaking vistas of wilderness and wildlife viewing sites.
