Beginning at midnight, National Geographic Quest entered the waters of Glacier Bay National Park to journey to the edge of its northernmost boundary. Awakening at the turn of Jaw Point, our guests were greeted with the legendary Johns Hopkins Glacier on full display, showing off its dynamic moraines. As the day progressed, we navigated the park to find whales, mountain goats, sea otters, sea lions, and a myriad of seabirds, including both tufted and horned puffins.

National Geographic Quest
Victoria, British Columbia
What a stunner of a day here in Victoria once the fog lifted this morning! Clear skies and comfortable temperatures made the various excursions all the more enjoyable. From an all-day tour to Bouchard Gardens, bike rides, secret gardens, and historical walks, our guests enjoyed their day in Victoria! Walking around downtown Victoria was a feast for the eyes with the beautiful arrangements of colorful and bountiful flowers. The flowers that lined the walkways of the Empress Hotel were spectacular! Downtown Victoria and the adjacent area have 1,600 hanging baskets of flowers adorning the lamp posts. We also enjoyed the beauty our dive team discovered under the sea. They came back with some spectacular footage of what lies beneath the waves. Beautiful kelp forests, crabs, and fish galore.
