While on board Queen Elizabeth,
our Cunard Insights® enrichment
program sheds light on the region’s
past and present. You may hear from
groups like Alaska Native Voices
as they share perspectives of the
Native Huna peoples – balancing
traditional knowledge with
contemporary living.
Cultural immersion
Embrace the diversity of Alaska’s rich
culture, from historic sites and Native
villages to displays of traditional song
and dance. Totem poles crafted by
the local Tlingit and Haida peoples
fill Ketchikan with color, while Sitka’s
galleries exhibit handcrafted pottery
and glassware inspired by the
region’s stunning beauty.
Adventures on land
On shore, you have no shortage of
places to explore with our expert
guides. Breathe the freshest air as
you paddle, trek, or even search
for whales on a catamaran. Take in
scenic views from a Gold Rush-era
train. Or feel the thrill of zipping
across a glacier behind a team
of huskies.
Local festivities
If you prefer to explore
independently, a flurry of activity
awaits in each port of call on your
voyage. Head to a variety of local
festivals and events, from the Great
Alaska Craft Beer and Home Brew
Festival in Haines to the Sitka
Summer Music Festival – a monthlong celebration of classical music.
