Additional Information
Day 1 (SEP 18, 2025): Seattle, Washington
Embark 1:00pm.
Head to the top of the famed Space Needle, enjoy the performers in Pioneer Square, watch fish-tossing in legendary Pike Place Market or spend the afternoon in the impressive Seattle Art Museum. Take in the groovy Experience Music Project or the fascinating Pacific Science Center. Dive into the sea at the Seattle Aquarium or take to the skies at the Museum of Flight.
Day 2 (SEP 19, 2025): Day at Sea
Day 3 (SEP 20, 2025): Ketchikan, Alaska
Totem poles are one of Ketchikan's chief attractions, and the best places to view them are Saxman Village and Totem Bight State Park. Drop by the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center to learn about the local cultures and ecosystems.
Day 4 (SEP 21, 2025): Sitka, Alaska
Called "Shee Atika" by the Tlingit Indians, then "New Archangel" by the Russians who ousted them, Sitka boasts a multicultural heritage. Two dozen of its attractions are on the National Register of Historic Places, including Castle Hill and Building 29, a structure built by the Russians in 1835. The Sheldon Jackson Museum exhibits one of Alaska's oldest native culture collections.
Day 5 (SEP 22, 2025): Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska
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 lee side of Chichagof Island. However, wildlife outnumbers everyone, so watch for bears, eagles and humpback whales, which migrate here in the summer.
Day 6 (SEP 23, 2025): Cruising Hubbard Glacier
Day 7 (SEP 24, 2025): Seward, Alaska
While most cruise ships merely turn around here, Riviera actually calls on Seward, which is named for the U.S. Secretary of State who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. The Seward Museum is a treasure trove of artifacts. The Alaska SeaLife Center showcases the abundant marine life, and nearby Chugach National Forest is a natural paradise.
Day 8 (SEP 25, 2025): Kodiak, Alaska
The tiny village of Kodiak clings to the "Emerald Isle" of Kodiak, which is known for its breathtaking natural beauty. In summer the island is a mosaic of flora that includes wildflowers, moss-laden spruce, Pacific red elder, and blueberries, which the brown bears feast on. You may also spot puffins, red foxes and killer whales.
Day 9 (SEP 26, 2025): Day at Sea
Day 10 (SEP 27, 2025): Dutch Harbor (Aleutian Islands), Alaska
Located on Amaknak Island and linked via bridge to Unalaska Island, Dutch Harbor is a place of historical significance, stunning natural beauty and resilient people. Walk in the footsteps of the indigenous Aleut, or Unangan, people by following trails established thousands of years ago. The paths take you through swaths of wildflowers dotting green valleys from which rise volcanic peaks surrounded by the sea, a windswept land so pristine you will forget that signs of civilization are nearby. Even so, Russian fur traders and American armed forces did make their marks here. The U.S established a naval base in 1940, and Dutch Harbor became a theater for World War II when the Japanese bombed it in 1942. While intriguing museums recall a turbulent past, today Dutch Harbor embraces the peaceful nature of its scenic surroundings and thrives as a fishing “village” that brings in the largest catch in the country.
Day 11 (SEP 28, 2025): Day at Sea
Day 12 (SEP 29, 2025): Cruising International Date Line West
Day 13-15 (SEP 30-OCT 2, 2025): Days at Sea
Day 16 (OCT 3, 2025): Kushiro (Hokkaido), Japan
An unsung gem in eastern Hokkaido, historical Kushiro offers an attractive balance of culture and surrounding natural beauty. In the city, Kushiro City Museum and Kushiro Art Museum are top choices, and foodies won’t want to miss the bounty of fresh seafood at Kushiro Washo Market. Try donburi, a rice bowl dish topped with fish, or sample renowned Hokkaido crabs. Flanked by national parks, Kushiro is a gateway to stunning Lake Akan and Akan-Mashu National Park, where you can visit hot springs, go canoeing, and learn about the indigenous Ainu culture at the village of Ainu Kotan. Also nearby, the largest wetland in Japan at Kushiro National Park is home to the graceful Japanese red-crowned crane – a prized symbol of longevity.
Day 17 (OCT 4, 2025): Hakodate (Hokkaido), Japan
In 1854 Hakodate became Japan’s first port to open to foreign trade as the country’s era of isolationism came to an end. The resulting influx of traders and merchants from Russia, China and Western countries imprinted the city with a mélange of cultural styles that now distinguish Hakodate’s unique atmosphere. Star-shaped Goryokaku Fort was designed in the European style – even as its purpose was to defend Japan from foreign imperialism – and is now flanked by thousands of native cherry trees. The Russian Orthodox Church stands just blocks from the Chinese Memorial Hall, and nearby you’ll find traditional Japanese markets selling the signature Hakodate shio ramen, a salty noodle dish that is the city’s specialty. Beef lovers will want to try the famously flavorful Hakodate Onuma beef, which happily can be savored in restaurants overlooking scenic Lake Onuma.
Day 18 (OCT 5, 2025): Miyako, Japan
This Japanese island paradise is known for its natural beauty and vibrant local culture. The Eastern Cape is a nationally-designated Place of Scenic Beauty with a spectacular view of the surrounding ocean. Stop by the beaches of Sunayama or Aragusuku for sunshine and snorkeling. A visit to the Shigira hot springs will help you relax or take a ride across the expansive Ikema bridge for a scenic drive across the beautiful blue waters.
Day 19 (OCT 6, 2025): Hitachinaka, Japan
Hitachinaka is in one of the quieter parts of the Ibaraki Prefecture northeast of Tokyo. This region is known for its beauty, which can be enjoyed any number of ways. Drive to nearby Mount Tsukuba, where you can go on an easy hike on the walking trails or take in the views from a cable car that travels partway up the mountain. For a more adventurous day, try bungee jumping off the Ryujin Suspension Bridge, a 1,200-foot-long pedestrian bridge over a lake nestled between tree-covered hills about an hour away from Hitachinaka. For a longer road trip, make your way through the countryside to fantastic Tokyo, about two hours away by train.
Day 20 (OCT 7, 2025): Tokyo, Japan
Dazzling cityscapes await your exploration; visit Asakusa for the bright lights, street fairs and Senso-ji Temple; the Tsukiji Market, the largest open-air fish market in the world with on-the-spot sushi; and the Imperial Palace's East Garden for some calm. Spend the evening in the bright, active Ginza District, where the night comes alive.
Day 21 (OCT 8, 2025): Tokyo, Japan
Disembark at 8:00am.
