Keynote #2

Event Description

Health care in this country more closely resembles “sick care.” While advancements in research and technology have enabled us to sufficiently treat acute health issues, the health care system is miserably failing at preventing and treating chronic disease. It’s estimated that 6 in 10 U.S. adults have one chronic disease and 4 in 10 have two or more. Individuals with chronic diseases use the majority of health care services and account for most of the costs.

The paradigm needs to shift from reactive to proactive. Lifestyle medicine places emphasis on the whole person and uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease. This continuing education event will detail how a lifestyle medicine approach to health can combat the chronic disease epidemic and revolutionize the health care system. Providers and employers will learn foundations and effective implementation strategies related to a variety of topics including nutrition, autoimmune disease, weight management, gastrointestinal wellness, and mental health.

Ports of Call

Seattle, Washington

Downtown Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier

Treating Seattle merely as a logistical checkpoint for your Alaska cruise is a missed opportunity. This city functions not just as a gateway, but as the essential prologue or epilogue to the Pacific Northwest experience. It is a metropolis of distinct contrasts: a global technology hub with a deep maritime soul, where urban grit meets unparalleled natural grandeur. For the traveler, Seattle offers a sophisticated blend of culinary excellence, indigenous history, and artistic innovation. However, it requires navigation; the city is hilly, the traffic can be dense, and the best experiences are often found in the neighborhoods rather than the central business district.

Logistics and Layout: The Tale of Two Terminals - Before planning your itinerary, it is vital to know your departure point. Seattle utilizes two primary cruise terminals located miles apart. Pier 66 (Bell Street) is located directly on the downtown waterfront, walkable to Pike Place Market and many hotels. Pier 91 (Smith Cove) is located in Interbay, north of downtown, requiring a taxi or rideshare to reach the city center. Knowing your specific terminal is crucial for hotel selection and embarkation day planning. From Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), the Link Light Rail provides reliable, traffic-free transit to downtown (Westlake Station) for a fraction of the cost of a cab, though a rideshare is recommended if you have heavy luggage.

A Curated 48-Hour Pre- or Post-Cruise Itinerary - Day 1: The Market, The Waterfront, and The Glass

Start your morning early at Pike Place Market. While often crowded, it remains the authentic beating heart of the city. Arrive by 8:00 AM to watch the vendors set up before the tourist crush. Beyond the famous fish toss, explore the lower levels where eclectic shops hide in the labyrinthine architecture. For breakfast, bypass the original Starbucks line (it is merely a storefront) and instead visit Le Panier for French pastries or Lowell’s for seafood hangtown fry with water views. If you appreciate culinary history, a stop at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese to watch the cheddar-making process is essential.

From the market, descend the Pike Street Hillclimb to the waterfront. The area has undergone massive renovation. Walk north through the Olympic Sculpture Park, a free, open-air museum where monumental art frames the view of the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound. It is a serene counterpoint to the market's bustle.

In the afternoon, head to the Seattle Center. While the Space Needle offers iconic views, the true artistic highlight is Chihuly Garden and Glass. The vibrant, organic glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly are displayed in a way that blurs the line between art and nature. It is a visually stunning experience that consistently ranks as a client favorite. Adjacent is the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), a Frank Gehry-designed structure housing immersive exhibits on music, sci-fi, and pop culture—worth a visit if you have specific interests in Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, or cinema history.

Day 2: Maritime Heritage and Neighborhood Culture - Seattle’s true character lives in its neighborhoods. Dedicate your second day to exploring beyond the downtown core.

*Option A: The Maritime Soul (Ballard)*
Take a rideshare to Ballard, a historic Scandinavian fishing neighborhood. Start at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Ballard Locks). Watching vessels of all sizes traverse the locks between the saltwater sound and freshwater lakes is fascinating engineering theater. In late summer, the fish ladder offers a viewing window to watch salmon migrating upstream—a perfect primer for an Alaska voyage. Afterward, explore Ballard Avenue, lined with boutiques and some of the city's best dining. This area is also the heart of Seattle's brewery scene; a stop at a local taproom offers a taste of the region's craft beer culture.

*Option B: The Island Escape (Bainbridge)*
For a change of pace, walk to the ferry terminal on the downtown waterfront and board a Washington State Ferry to Bainbridge Island. The 35-minute crossing offers the single best view of the Seattle skyline and, on clear days, Mount Rainier. This is not a tour boat; it is public transit, offering an authentic slice of local life. Upon docking, the town of Winslow is a short walk away. It is sophisticated yet small-town, filled with bookstores, bakeries (Blackbird Bakery is a standout), and wine tasting rooms. It is the perfect way to decompress before boarding a busy cruise ship.

*Option C: History and Architecture (Pioneer Square)*
For history enthusiasts, Pioneer Square offers a look at Seattle’s origins. The architecture here is Romanesque Revival, distinct from the glass towers uptown. We recommend the Underground Tour—while campy, it provides a genuine look at the city’s history of burning down and rebuilding on top of itself. Be aware that this neighborhood can feel grittier than others, reflecting the complex urban realities of the West Coast.

Dining and Coffee Culture - Seattle takes food seriously. For a quintessential Pacific Northwest dinner, look for menus highlighting Dungeness crab, Penn Cove mussels, and Copper River salmon. The Pink Door in Pike Place (reservations required weeks in advance) offers Italian-American classics with entertainment, while The Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard is the gold standard for oysters.

Regarding coffee: You are in the coffee capital of the U.S. While Starbucks is ubiquitous, seek out the Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill for a theatrical, high-end coffee experience that differs vastly from the corner shop. Alternatively, support independent roasters like Victrola, Espresso Vivace, or Storyville for a superior cup.

Honest Expectations - Seattle is a city of hills; comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable. The weather is famously changeable. Summer days are often glorious and dry, but the "shoulder seasons" (May and September) can bring the signature grey drizzle. Pack layers and a light rain jacket rather than an umbrella, which marks you instantly as a tourist. Finally, like many major West Coast cities, downtown Seattle faces challenges with homelessness. While generally safe, it is wise to stay aware of your surroundings, particularly in the Pioneer Square and 3rd Avenue areas at night.

By dedicating time to Seattle, you ground your vacation in the culture of the Pacific Northwest, ensuring your cruise is a continuation of the journey rather than the only event.

At Sea - Cruising

Sitka, Alaska

Sitka distinguishes itself from other Inside Passage stops by facing the open Pacific, offering a wilder, more dramatic atmosphere under the shadow of the dormant Mount Edgecumbe volcano. Formerly "New Archangel," the capital of Russian America, this town possesses a depth of history that rewards the intellectual traveler. While most large ships now dock at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal about five miles north of town, efficient complimentary shuttles bridge the gap to the walkable downtown area.

Once in town, the Russian influence is unmistakable. St. Michael’s Cathedral remains the visual anchor, but we specifically recommend visiting the Russian Bishop’s House. Managed by the National Park Service, it offers a meticulously restored look into the 19th-century colonial era that appeals to history enthusiasts. A short, flat walk from the center leads to Sitka National Historical Park. Here, Tlingit and Haida totem poles stand amidst towering spruce and hemlock trees along a scenic coastal trail, marking the site of the 1804 battle between the Tlingit Kiks.ádi clan and Russian traders.

For wildlife, Sitka is arguably the best port for guaranteed sightings through ethical rehabilitation centers. The Alaska Raptor Center provides a world-class hospital setting for injured birds of prey, allowing visitors to see bald eagles up close in a way that feels respectful rather than exploitative. Similarly, the Fortress of the Bear offers a second chance for orphaned brown bear cubs in a repurposed pulp mill setting. Whether exploring these sanctuaries or simply watching for sea otters bobbing in the harbor, Sitka feels less like a tourist hub and more like a genuine community living on the edge of the wilderness.

Skagway, Alaska

Skagway operates as a living museum of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, situated at the northern terminus of the Inside Passage. While the town’s year-round population is small, its historical footprint is massive. The downtown district is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, featuring meticulously restored false-front buildings and wooden boardwalks. It is undeniably tourist-centric, yet the preservation is authentic enough to transport you back to the era of prospectors and con artists. You can easily explore the core of Broadway Street in an hour or two, perhaps stopping at the Red Onion Saloon or the National Park Service visitor center for context.

Skagway, Alaska, hike, three friends hiking, exploring, adventure, misty clouds over mountains, forest, fun

However, we advise viewing Skagway primarily as a staging ground for the wilderness beyond. The town sits in a narrow, wind-swept valley, and the most dramatic scenery requires leaving the immediate port area. The definitive experience here is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This narrow-gauge railway is an engineering masterpiece that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in just 20 miles, offering vertiginous views of gorges, waterfalls, and the Sawtooth Mountains. It is not merely a train ride; it is the most efficient and spectacular way to understand the geography that challenged gold seekers.

For a different perspective, Skagway is the premier port for flightseeing. Helicopter excursions to nearby glaciers—often combined with dog sledding—provide a sense of scale that ground-based tours cannot match. For those preferring to stay closer to sea level, a float down the Taiya River or a hike to Lower Reid Falls offers serenity away from the busy boardwalks. Ultimately, Skagway rewards those who book a specific adventure rather than wandering aimlessly.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm fjord, Alaska

Endicott Arm offers a quintessential Alaskan experience, distinct from the commercial bustle of port towns. This is a day dedicated to scenic cruising, where the ship navigates a 30-mile fjord carved by ancient ice. The scale here is humbling; sheer granite cliffs rise thousands of feet directly from the emerald water, often decorated with vertical stripes of cascading waterfalls. Unlike the open ocean, the water here is usually calm, turning the fjord into a mirror for the scenery above.

The destination is the Dawes Glacier, an active tidewater glacier standing over 600 feet tall. As you approach, the water becomes cluttered with floating ice sculptures—from small 'bergy bits' to massive, sapphire-blue chunks. The highlight is the 'white thunder' of calving, where massive slabs of ice fracture and crash into the sea. While the visual is stunning, the sound is equally memorable.

Wildlife viewing is excellent here. Look for harbor seals hauling out on the ice floes near the glacier face—this is a primary breeding ground for them. Mountain goats appear as white specks on the high cliffs, and brown bears are occasionally spotted along the shoreline. We recommend spending this time on the open decks rather than behind glass; the sensory experience of the crisp air and the roar of the ice is lost indoors. If your itinerary offers a small boat excursion here, it is worth the investment to get closer to the water level and the glacier face.

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau is a paradox: a state capital accessible only by air or sea, where the wilderness doesn't just surround the city—it defines it. As a port of call, it offers perhaps the most accessible high-adventure opportunities in Alaska, though managing expectations regarding weather and crowds is essential for a quality experience.

RD, Radiance of the Seas, Juneau, Alaska, dad, father, smiling, holding daughter, young girl on tour boat, boat ride, kid is looking through binoculars, family fun,

The Mendenhall Glacier is the undisputed centerpiece. While the Visitor Center offers a solid introduction, the glacier has receded significantly in recent years. To truly grasp the scale of the Juneau Icefield, we recommend a helicopter excursion. Landing on the glacier or dog sledding on the ice cap is a significant investment, but it provides a visceral connection to the landscape that a distant view from the visitor center cannot match. If you prefer to stay grounded, the hike to Nugget Falls offers a powerful view of the glacier's face and a roaring waterfall without the flight costs.

Juneau’s waters are among the most productive feeding grounds for humpback whales in the world. Sightings in Auke Bay are exceptionally reliable during the cruise season. If you have not booked a wildlife excursion elsewhere on your itinerary, this is the place to do it.

Downtown Juneau is compact and historic, though South Franklin Street can feel congested when multiple ships are in port. For a sophisticated cultural break, the Alaska State Museum is outstanding, housing world-class exhibits on Native Alaskan heritage and Russian history. The Mount Roberts Tramway, located right at the dock, offers sweeping views, but we advise purchasing tickets only after assessing the cloud cover; the view is spectacular, but non-existent in heavy fog.

For a culinary finish, skip the generic tourist traps and visit Tracy’s King Crab Shack for genuine local flavor. Juneau is a wet city—it lies in a temperate rainforest—so dress in waterproof layers to enjoy this spectacular intersection of civilization and wild frontier.

Victoria, British Columbia

Victoria is arguably the most civilized port of call in the Pacific Northwest, blending British colonial heritage with West Coast vitality. Ships dock at Ogden Point, a pleasant 20-minute coastal walk or short shuttle ride from the Inner Harbour. This central hub is the city’s beating heart, framed by the ivy-covered Fairmont Empress and the neo-baroque Parliament Buildings. It is compact, safe, and exceptionally walkable.

For many, the headline attraction is Butchart Gardens. While truly a horticultural masterpiece, we advise caution regarding logistics: the gardens are located 35-45 minutes from the port. Visiting requires a dedicated block of four hours, leaving little time for the city itself. If you are a devoted gardener, it is worth the journey; if you prefer a relaxed pace, the city center offers ample rewards without the commute.

The Royal BC Museum is a standout recommendation for this demographic. It is one of North America's finest museums, featuring immersive exhibits on First Nations history and the region's natural evolution that are intellectually satisfying without being dry. Nearby, Government Street offers sophisticated strolling; look for Munro’s Books—set in a magnificent neoclassical building—and Rogers’ Chocolates for local heritage.

For a casual interlude, a short walk leads to Fisherman’s Wharf, where colorful houseboats and fresh halibut and chips offer a looser vibe. Whether you opt for High Tea at the Empress or a quiet walk through Beacon Hill Park to see the world’s tallest free-standing totem pole, Victoria delivers a polished, high-quality experience that respects your time.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
Ongoing medical monitoring
Payment guarantee
Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

Missed connecting flights
Lost/stolen travel documents
Pre-trip information
Prescription replacements
