The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection · Vancouver to Whittier

Alaska by Yacht

This one-way week combines lesser-known calls with Sitka and Icy Strait Point. Choose it for coastal towns and wildlife possibilities; ask us to compare a longer glacier-focused sailing if glaciers are your priority.

Your whole cruise journey, taken care of.

From packing advice and your airport ride to flights, hotels, port transfers and cruise check-in. We plan the details around your time on the water.

We help with documents, registration, dining and shore-experience booking windows, disembarkation and the journey home.

7 nights aboard

Your cabin on Luminara

Luminara has private-terrace suites and an inclusive onboard experience. The ship’s Alaska programme adds destination context to the time ashore. We compare terrace suites by view, location and layout. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, and a larger suite does not change that.

Before & after the cruise

Before boarding, quoted separately: Spend two nights in Vancouver before boarding, with time to settle in and a confirmed transfer to the terminal.

After the cruise, quoted separately: Whittier is not Anchorage airport. We confirm whether the operator’s onward transfer is included before arranging a private alternative, and add an Anchorage night when sensible.

Flights, hotels, transfers, packing guidance and check-in support can be coordinated as one journey. Cruise fares do not automatically include those arrangements.
