According to Wikipedia:
The Inside Passage is a coastal route for oceangoing vessels along a series of passages between the mainland and the coastal islands. Ships using the route can avoid some of the bad weather in the open ocean, and visit the many isolated communities along the route. It is heavily traveled by cruise ships, freighters, tugs with tows, fishing craft and ships of the Alaska Marine Highway and BC Ferries systems.
Here’s a map of the general area:
And a more detailed route map. Note that I lifted this from some cruisers so the red line isn’t exactly our planned route, but it’s pretty close.
