While not a regular destination point, special arrangements can be made for guests to meet Taconite at a pre-arranged port for spectacular cruising of the Alaska panhandle. The Alaska panhandle is the coast of the American state of Alaska, just west of the province of British Columbia, Canada. In many places, the international border runs along the crest of the Pacific Range of mountains. The Panhandle includes the Tongass National Forest, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska's Inside Passage, and a myriad of islands. Wildlife includes grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, Sitka deer, humpback whales, orcas, five species of salmon, bald eagles, harlequin ducks, scoters, and murrelets.
