Begin in Vancouver, tracing the Inside Passage through forested coastlines, glacier-carved fjords and remote Alaskan communities. From Ketchikan and Hoonah to Juneau and Sitka, witness landscapes shaped by ice, wilderness and maritime heritage. Crossing the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea, the journey ventures into the Aleutians before traversing the vast North Pacific. Arriving in Japan, Kushiro, Aomori and Hakodate reveal a distinct cultural and natural contrast, before the voyage concludes in Tokyo, where contemporary dynamism meets enduring tradition.
