Route

Day	Travel station	Arrival	Departure
1.	Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada) Departure: 16:00		16:00
	With a population of almost 500,000 Vancouver in British Columbia is the most important port at the Pacific. It is considered to be one of the safest and cleanest cities in the world and, on account of its sheltered location, it has a mild climate all year round. A special attraction at the northern edge of the city is Vancouver's Hausberg Grouse Mountain, which can be reached by a cable-car and has excellent facilities for winter sports and hillwalking as well as a wonderful view of the city. Capilano Suspension Bridge, measuring 137 m in length and suspended 70 m above a river gorge, which visitors can cross, is also nearby. Sights include: Gastown, Stanley Park, Chinatown, Science World, Vancouver Aquarium, Harbour Centre with its viewing platform, the waterfront with a sea bus.
2.	At Sea

3.	Ketchikan (Alaska, USA) Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 18:00	08:00	18:00
	The "Salmon Capital of the World" is one of the towns in south-east Alaska that already existed during Russian times. As in Sitka, this Russian influence is also apparent here in the form of folk dancers and a Russian Orthodox church. In Totem Bight State Park you can view totem poles elaborately carved by the Tlingit native Americans. Ketchikan is considered to be a Mecca for salmon fishers, who already settled here hundreds of years ago.
4.	Prince Rupert (British Columbia, Canada) Arrival: 07:00	07:00
	Prince Rupert is the most northerly city on Canada's Pacific coast, just a few kilometres from the border with Alaska. Sights include first and foremost the 18 totem poles of the North-West coast Indians, which are scattered around the city. Some are in front of the Museum of Northern British Columbia, a building built in the style of an Indian long-house, providing information on 5,000 years of regional history. Artefacts from the indigenous peoples and the white settlers provide an insight into the way of life and the history of the native Indian tribes prior to and after the arrival of the white man. North Pacific Cannery Village Museum in Port Edward, 20 km South of Prince Rupert, provides information about commercial fishing and the techniques of preserving and canning foods. Guided tours and staff wearing costumes bring one of the oldest fish canning factories on the West coast in 1889 back to life. In the Summer, visitors can also set out on whale watching trips from Prince Rupert.

7.	Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 22:00 Excursion tips (3)	08:00	22:00
	The charming provincial capital of British Columbia is on Vancouver Island and has a very European feel to it with its narrow streets lined by stone buildings dating from the 19th century. Victorian architecture, red double-decker buses and nostalgic hackney cabs are a reminder of the colonial age of the British Empire. This is in sharp contrast to the many totem poles in the parks, which signify the amalgamation of the two cultures. Expansive parks with exotic and native plants are the perfect place to take a stroll. Sights include: Butchard Gardens, Government House, Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle, Helmcken House, Royal British Columbia Museum.
