Since 1982, this expedition has explored magnificent Alaska and the Inside Passage with an intimate number of guests, including the company of naturalists, aboard small-ship voyages. On your journey, listen for the sound of soaring eagles, watch ice thunder from the face of a glacier, walk in a spruce forest, and observe lunge-feeding whales while exploring Alaska’s coastal wilderness. Cruise in comfort aboard a nimble expedition ship in Southeast Alaska — a land of fjords and islands teeming with wildlife. Walk forest trails to cascading waterfalls, bird watch, and identify wildflowers as you go. Enjoy Zodiac and kayaking forays, whale watch, and learn about Alaska’s rich Native American heritage. Spend a full day in Glacier Bay National Park and enjoy the scenic grandeur of Alaska’s great outdoors. Consider an optional Denali National Park land extension. Join us this spring when the days are long, whales are active, and flowers are in bloom!
