    Your Norwegian Cruise Line tour director will greet you in Whittier upon debarkation of Norwegian Jade. Board your deluxe motorcoach for your journey through the Kenai Peninsula, where Alaskans go to play! In dramatic fashion, see where mountains meet the sea. Watch along the banks of the rivers where fishermen call this area home from May to September. A lunch stop will be made in the community of Soldotna, also known as the "Fishing Capital of the World". Enjoy a brief stop near the world-famous Kenai River and see where monster King Salmon fish are lured by fishermen, and learn about the five species of salmon that call Alaska home. As you continue through the mountains of the Kenai Peninsula down the coast, enjoy the spectacular views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountains, and several volcanic peaks across Cook Inlet, including Mt. Augustine, Mt. Iliamna, and Mt. Redoubt. Near the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, you'll encounter the town of Homer, an authentic Alaskan community not geared toward mass tourism, often described as "where the land ends and the sea begins". Visit the Alaska Islands & Ocean Visitor Center before arriving to the hotel - your window to the largest seabird refuge in the world with all the natural wonders of Kachemak Bay right outside its doors. The Alaska Islands & Ocean Visitor Center is a partnership between the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and the Kachemak Bay Research Reserve, dedicated to understanding and conserving the marine environment. Enjoy the modern displays, movies and information throughout as the Center takes you on an incredible journey through this rough and rugged land. Homer has a history steeped in commercial fishing and a mild climate moderated by the Pacific Ocean. This results in warmer winters and cooler summers compared to other areas of Alaska. Homer is also famous for the Homer Spit, a 4.5-mile-long natural spit of land extending into Kachemak Bay, which you can explore in the evening. Overnight: Homer. ...
