If I were doing that trip!
If I were doing a trip to Alaska and Canada I would consider shipping into Vancouver, B.C. or Seattle and then taking the Alaska State Ferry up to Skagway. By doing this you will get to see the beautiful Inside Passage. From Skagway you can ride North to the interior of Alaska and back through Canada. You will get to see a lot more of Alaska and Canada and will appreciate the marine life along the way. You will largely miss this if you ride North from the interior.
I have done that trip several times three times by sailboat, once via sea kayak and many times on the Alaska state ferry. On the ferry you can sleep under the solarium in your sleeping bag and either bring your own food or eat in the onboard restaurant. You can get off the ferry in each town to explore somthing I would recommend at least in Juneau to see the Mendahall Glacier.
Good luck,
