Coastal Odyssey - 3A/4A
The coastal waters between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Anchorage, Alaska, are among the most beautiful on earth. For more than 1,600 miles, nature puts on a show. Each day of your journey presents new wonders. Cliffs that soar 3,000 feet from the waterÂs edge, spectacular glaciers that press into narrow channels and break into thunderous roars, and dense forests which crowd the coastline and cradle entire ecosystems. From the mythic white spirit bears in the south to the great glaciers of the north, this is an odyssey of grand scale.
