ALASKA BOUND BON VOYAGE PARTY

DRESS CODE
Tonight's dress is Smart Casual, but tomorrow night is our first Formal Evening of the cruise. An elegant tuxedo for men is available by contacting the Purser's Desk, and rental arrangements will be made for you.
OUR ITINERARY
After our departure from Canada Place, we'll turn the ship around and head towards Lions Gate Bridge. We will then sail through the Straits of Georgia, on our way to Seymour Narrows - an extremely narrow passage that can only be transited during slack tide, when there is no current. After Seymour Narrows, we'll continue sailing north through Discovery Passage and Johnstone Strait.
