Today we embark by 3PM

Day 2: July 14, 2026 - At Sea
A sea day aboard MSC Poesia is the perfect mix of relaxation, laughter, and connection. As you gather on deck with rugged mountains drifting by in the distance, setting the tone for an unforgettable day. There’s always something fun to share. Maybe you hit the spa for a little pampering, or brave the brisk breeze on deck for selfies against the dramatic Alaskan backdrop —proof that sometimes the best part of the journey isn’t just where you’re going, but who you meet along the way.
Day 3: July 15, 2026 - Ketchikan, Alaska
Ketchikan, Alaska, often called the “Salmon Capital of the World,” is a charming and colorful port town that perfectly captures the spirit of Southeast Alaska. Nestled between forested mountains and the Tongass Narrows, it’s famous for its rich Native Alaskan heritage, vibrant totem poles, and lively waterfront. As you stroll along Creek Street, a historic boardwalk built on stilts over the water, you’ll find quirky shops, local art galleries, and great spots for fresh seafood. The town’s natural beauty is just as captivating—lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and abundant wildlife make every view postcard-worthy. Whether you’re kayaking through misty coves, spotting bald eagles and salmon, or learning about Tlingit culture, Ketchikan offers a warm, authentic taste of Alaskan adventure and charm.

Day 4: July 16, 2026 - Icy Straight/ Hoonah, Alaska
Hoonah, home to Icy Strait Point, is a hidden gem of Alaska and one of the most authentic stops on any cruise itinerary. This small, welcoming village is the largest Tlingit community in the state, offering a genuine glimpse into Native Alaskan culture alongside breathtaking natural beauty. At Icy Strait Point, you can browse local crafts, sample wild salmon straight from the grill, or set out on thrilling excursions—from whale watching and bear spotting to riding the world’s largest ZipRider over forested mountains and sparkling ocean views. The scenery is pure Alaska: rugged coastlines, dense spruce forests, and waters alive with humpback whales, sea otters, and eagles. Whether you’re seeking adventure or a laid-back day connecting with locals, Hoonah delivers an unforgettable blend of culture, wildlife, and wild beauty.

Day 5: July 17, 2026 - Cruising Tracy Arm Fjord & Juneau, Alaska
Sailing through Tracy Arm Fjord into Juneau is one of the most unforgettable highlights of an Alaska cruise—a day that blends pure wilderness with vibrant city charm. The morning begins gliding through the narrow, glacier-carved fjord, where sheer cliffs rise thousands of feet above turquoise waters dotted with floating icebergs. Waterfalls tumble from the mountains, seals bask on the ice, and the twin Sawyer Glaciers glisten at the fjord’s end, their thunderous calving echoing through the still air. Then, as your ship continues to Juneau, the scene shifts from wild solitude to the colorful hum of Alaska’s capital. Here, you can explore the stunning Mendenhall Glacier, ride the Mount Roberts Tramway for sweeping views, browse downtown’s charming shops, and enjoy fresh seafood. Together, Tracy Arm and Juneau showcase Alaska’s perfect balance of raw, untouched beauty and welcoming frontier spirit.

In port 2pm-10pm

Day 6: July 18, 2026 - At Sea
Your second sea day aboard MSC Poesia is the perfect chance to unwind, reconnect, and soak in the Alaskan magic with your group of fellow singles. After breakfast with a view of misty mountain peaks drifting by, you might join a yoga class , play games and watch glaciers and pine-covered islands glide past. The day is yours—swap stories or simply lounge in a cozy spot with a blanket and a book as the scenery unfolds. As evening approaches, you’ll gather for dinner, before heading to the theater for a live show or dancing under the stars. It’s a day to recharge, bond, and remember that the journey itself can be just as breathtaking as the destinations ahead.
Day 7: July 19, 2026 - Victoria, Canada
Victoria, Canada, at night is pure enchantment—a charming blend of old-world elegance and coastal sparkle. As your ship docks in the evening, the Inner Harbour comes alive with twinkling lights reflecting off the water, framing the majestic Parliament Buildings and the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel. You might stroll the waterfront or enjoy live music from local performers. For something magical, take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the historic streets or savor dessert and cocoa at a harbor-view café. Victoria by night feels warm, welcoming, and romantic—an unforgettable final taste of the Pacific Northwest before your Alaskan adventure winds to a close.

 

In Port 8pm-11:59pm
