ITINERARY
DAY 1 Depart Anchorage, Alaska
DAY 2 Kodiak, Alaska
Often called "Alaska's Emerald Isle,' Kodiak Island is indeed magnificently green, thanks to its plentiful summer rains. In fact, many things are plentiful here, including fish and other wildlife. The island, situated off the coast of Alaska, boasts one of North America's largest commercial fishing ports. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase at this port.
DAY 3 Cruising the North Pacific Ocean
DAY 4 Dutch Harbor, Alaska
The port of Dutch Harbor, on tiny Amaknak Island, is connected by a bridge to the city of Unalaska, a onetime ancient Aleut Village. It lies 800 miles southwest of Anchorage in the heart of the Aleutian Islands along the "Ring of Fire," so named for the frequent volcanic activity of this portion of the Pacific Rim. Complimentary Crystal Adventures excursion is included.
DAY 5 Cruising the Bering Sea
DAY 6 Nome, Alaska
A frontier-like town located on the Seward Peninsula closer to Siberia than to Anchorage, has hosted two famed races. One was a sprint for riches—the Gold Rush that began in 1898 when the “Three Lucky Swedes— discovered the glittering dust on Anvil Creek. The other is the Iditarod, the annual, 1,049-mile sled dog race through often white-out and sub-zero conditions that begins in Anchorage and ends in Nome. Complimentary Crystal Voluntourism Adventure excursion is included.
DAY 7–10 Cruising the Bering, Chukchi & Beaufort Sea
DAY 11–12
OVERNIGHT
Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada
Ulukhaktok (as the town is traditionally called), is located on the southwest coast of Victoria Island, just above the Arctic Circle. Locals with hooded, fur-framed faces board their snowmobiles to make runs to the grocery store, or out to a favored fishing hole. The rugged landscape is also home to a variety of wildlife, including Arctic char, caribou, muskox, grizzly bear and myriad birds. Complimentary Crystal Adventures excursion is included and additional Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 13 Cruising the Dolphin & Union Strait
DAY 14 Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada
Cambridge Bay fulfills the promise of its traditional name, Iqaluktuuttiaq, which means “good fishing place". This spot on the southeast coast of Victoria Island draws not only eager anglers but also intrepid travelers, as Cambridge Bay is the largest stop for vessels traversing the Northwest Passage. Complimentary Crystal Voluntourism Adventure excursion is included and additional Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 15–19 Cruising the Victoria Strait, Bellot Straight, Radstock Bay & Croker Bay
DAY 20 Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada
Across Baffin Bay from Greenland and squarely above the Arctic Circle is Pond Inlet, a remote hamlet with all you might expect from this northerly clime—vast expanses of tundra, a ring of scenic mountains, and most beguilingly, an abundance of wildlife. Perhaps the most fabled creature found here is the narwhal, a medium-sized whale with a single protruding tusk, making it the “unicorn of the sea". Complimentary Crystal Voluntourism Adventure excursion is included and additional Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 21–22 Cruising the fjords of Baffin Island & Davis Strait
DAY 23 Ilulissat, Greenland
Here, icebergs rise impressively out of the sea, immense glaciers take on mesmerizing hues of Arctic sky, and brightly painted buildings with white trim and pitched roofs stand impossibly on rocky hills. Step off your ship and become part of the landscape, highlighted by the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Sermeq Kujalleq, the most active glacier in the world, constantly supplying the ocean with icebergs and visitors with reasons to be amazed. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 24 Sisimiut, Greenland
Pronounced si-si-me-oat, Sisimiut sits on the west coast of Greenland just above the Arctic Circle, and well outside the realm of the typical vacation experience. Its appearance may resemble the New England coast or colorful villages of Norway, but Sisimiut’s mix of Inuit and Danish culture, traditions in dog sledding, and pride in the Arctic Circle Race, a cross-country ski race covering nearly 100 miles in three days, make it a unique destination. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 25 Nuuk, Greenland
As the capital of Greenland, Nuuk is the center of its trade, shipping, industry and administration. Nuuk, also known as "the promontory," is located at the tip of a large peninsula by the mouth of the gigantic Nuuk Fjord. The town is the oldest in Greenland, built by the Danish missionary Hans Egede in 1728. With a population of more than 13,000 people, Nuuk is considered Greenland's largest town. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 26–28 Cruising Labrador Sea & the Atlantic Ocean
DAY 29 Bar Harbor, Maine
Cradled off the craggy coast of Maine lies Mount Desert Island and the charming seaport town of Bar Harbor. Earlier last century, when it was the summer retreat of millionaires, it boasted magnificent estate homes, or "cottages," many of which were completely destroyed by the fire of 1947. However, some things never change. The priceless asset of the island's scenic beauty remains untouched by time. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 30 Boston, Massachusetts
Boston has not been content to rest on the laurels of its glorious past. Progress is everywhere. Glazed high-rises soar skyward and the colorful waterfront area has been artfully renovated. Relive nearly four hundred years of history as you explore myriad sights of Boston, a city that exudes pride in its past and future. Superb shopping abounds and sightseeing attractions are legendary. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 31 Newport, Rhode Island
Newport, Rhode Island, is a stylish, world-famous yachting center with a long tradition of elegance. For almost a century and a half, it was the home of the America's Cup yachting races. The colonial sections of Newport boast many authentic historic buildings, some dating back to the 1600s. However, most impressive of all, are the opulent mansions built at the turn of this century by industrial tycoons along Ocean Drive and Bellevue Avenue. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
DAY 32
OVERNIGHT
New York, New York
Welcome to one of the world's most famous and exciting cities. Broadway, Times Square, the Empire State Building and Central Park are just some of the celebrated spectacles this bustling city has to offer. Crystal Adventures excursions are available for purchase.
