Just when I thought I didn't have another trip to plan ...Disney sets sail from Vancouver

Disney Cruise Line 7-Night Alaskan Cruise takes you and your family from Vancouver, Canada, along the Pacific Ocean's Inside Passage, to 3 picturesque Alaskan ports and back—with 3 full days at sea. The ports include Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. Breathtaking natural beauty awaits, including rugged mountains rising from the sea, tidewater glaciers and pristine fjords. This cruise will be available to book on September 28, 2009.

Sail aboard the magnificently appointed Disney Wonder to coastal towns, where fur traders and gold prospectors once walked and where land animals and sea life abound, from bald eagles and moose to whales and sea otters.

Adventure and comfort mix to provide an unforgettable vacation experience that begins in Vancouver—a sophisticated metropolitan center with awe-inspiring mountain and water views. The city offers both culture and history, with a definite British flavor your entire family is sure to love. Then, spend a full day at sea and taste the mouth-watering fare at the ship's unparalleled restaurants, Palo or Animator's Palate. Unwind in the many nightclubs and lounges onboard, such as Cove Café, a hideaway where grownups can relax with a drink, surf the Internet, or enjoy a good book.

The next day, cruise amazing Tracy Arm, a long narrow fjord that boasts two glaciers—the twin Sawyer Glaciers. Many visitors to Alaska considered the Sawyer Glaciers to be the most dramatic glaciers in the 49th state. From there, make your way to the port town of Skagway, where you can stroll through the downtown streets or hike along the White Pass Trail that gold prospectors used during the famous Klondike Gold Rush of the 19th century.

Afterward, travel to Juneau, Alaska's capital, which is rich in frontier tradition. Visit the city's historic sites—including the capitol building, the state's oldest operating church and a saloon built during the city's mining era—or spend an unforgettable afternoon whale watching.

Arrive the next day at Ketchikan, known as the "Salmon Capital of the World," and enjoy several outdoor adventures, such as scenic walking tours and kayaking. While kayaking, don't be surprised if you glimpse all kinds of native animals, including bald eagles, bears and whales.

During a second exciting day at sea, enjoy all the amenities onboard the Disney Wonder, including fine dining at Triton's the many rejuvenating services at the Vista Spa & Salon. Finally, on the last day, return to where you began your vacation: Vancouver, Canada.

Romance, adventure and the inimitable Disney style come together on the exciting 7-Night Alaska Cruise. It's a trip that you and your family will always remember and cherish, with its unparalleled sight-seeing and newfound discoveries, both on and off the cruise ship.
