Azamara Pursuit: 10-Night from Vancouver - June 14, 2027

As a smaller vessel, the Azamara Pursuit means a quicker disembarkation in Ketchikan, Alaska - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Ketchikan is one of the best places in Alaska to see totem poles and learn about Native cultures.

Your ship arrives in Klawock, Alaska at 9:30 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

With 12 hours hours in Sitka, Alaska - from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe.

Waterproof jackets and layered clothing are recommended due to variable weather and coastal conditions.

As a smaller vessel, the Azamara Pursuit means a quicker disembarkation in Icy Strait, Alaska - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

The waters around Icy Strait are known for frequent whale sightings, especially humpbacks.

With an early arrival in Haines, Alaska at 6:00 am, your group has a real advantage - you'll be among the first off the ship, ahead of the crowds that build by mid-morning.

Arriving in Wrangell, Alaska at 1:00 pm with only 6 hours hours before your 7:00 pm departure is a tight window.

Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Embark on guided tours to spot bears, eagles, and salmon along rivers and forested areas.
