All the marquee destinations of the 49th state will be showcased, from the modern capital of Juneau to cosmopolitan Vancouver. Of course, being mid-sized, Regatta can go one step further and also present Alaska's boutique ports in a warm and intimate manner not possible on larger ships carrying thousands of passengers. Two of the cruising highlights include Seward and Icy Strait Point (Hoonah). While most cruise ships merely turn around here, Regatta actually calls on Seward, which is named for the U.S. Secretary of State that negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. Hoonah means "where the north wind doesn't blow" in the language of the Tlingit Indians, who make up about 70% of the population of this village on the less side of Chichagof Island. However, wildlife outnumbers everyone, so watch for bears, eagles and humpback whales, which migrate here in the summer.
