HermmyGranger Posted July 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I know this is probably a dumb question, but how do you know if your Alaska cruise does the Inside Passage or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2017 A "true" Inside Passage cruise goes to the east of Vancouver Island. These cruises begin/end in Vancouver. However, getting to Juneau from Seattle, for example, involves some portion of the Inside Passage. Just not the famous part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted July 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2017 There's the Canadian Inside Passage and the Alaskan Inside Passage. As Bruce said, the Canadian one is when the ships depart or return to Vancouver. The ships travel east of Vancouver Island, between the Island and the BC mainland. Cruises departing from Seattle tend to sail west of Vancouver Island, out in open ocean. They head into the Alaskan Inside Passage as they get close to Ketchikan.

xlxo Posted July 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Vancouver trips include the calmer Inside passage waters. That's TWO days of tranquality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCalicoCat Posted July 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I know this is probably a dumb question, but how do you know if your Alaska cruise does the Inside Passage or not? Juneau, Ketchikan & Skagway are all located on the inside passage. The differentiation is whether or not you sail to the west of Vancouver Island (from Seattle) or the East (from Vancouver).
