Expedition overview and highlights

  • Navigate spectacular icebergs—and watch for new ones calving—as you explore the face of the six-mile-wide Hubbard Glacier by Zodiac
  • Kayak along sheer cliffs and forested backwaters in Misty Fjords National Monument
  • Explore the wild and remote areas of Southeast Alaska by special use permit with the Tongass National Forest
  • Soak in the midnight sun from the Greg Mortimer's top-deck hot tubs—perched at the ship's highest point, with 360-degree views of Alaska's dramatic wilderness unfolding around you

Set out on a journey into the wild beauty of Southeast Alaska, navigating secluded coves, mist-filled fjords and the lush reaches of the largest temperate rainforest on Earth. Explore by Zodiac, kayak and on foot as you watch for whales breaching in quiet bays, brown bears foraging along salmon streams, and bald eagles calling from towering spruce and hemlock. The voyage culminates at the mighty Hubbard Glacier, where a wall of luminous blue ice showcases Alaska’s awe-inspiring glacial power, offering a dramatic finale to this remarkable expedition.

Map & Cruise Itinerary

Arrive in Vancouver by early afternoon. Embark this evening in time for cocktails and an. introduction to the staff and crew.

Trace the wild and scenic coastline of British
Columbia, exploring inlets and islands and watching for whales, dolphins, bears, deer and other wildlife. As the ship sails toward Alaska, enjoy talks from your expedition team or relax with a book in the lounge or on the observation deck.

Cruise through the serene waters of Misty Fjords National Monument, where sheer cliffs soar more than 2,000 feet above the deep, blue fjord. Wisps of cloud drift along the winding waterway, draping over emerald peaks and creating the ethereal mists that give this remarkable landscape its name. Explore by Zodiac or kayak to get closer to the forested shoreline and the many dramatic waterfalls that cascade down the towering cliffs.

Navigate the Wrangell Narrows, a spectacularly
scenic waterway inaccessible to larger ships. Explore the coastline by kayak or Zodiac, and venture ashore to follow bear trails through the lush temperate rainforest. Along the way, naturalists share insights into this vibrant ecosystem. In the evening, cruise Frederick Sound, watching for orcas and humpback whales surfacing and sea lions weaving through the clear water around the ship. Train your binoculars on the shoreline to scan for moose and Sitka black-tailed deer, as well as the black bears, wolves and bald eagles drawn to the salmon-rich banks.

Today, nature is your guide as you venture out with the flexibility to follow wildlife sightings and take advantage of shifting weather conditions. Explore spectacular bays and secluded inlets, tracing bear trails and salmon-rich streams. Or head inland for a peaceful walk through the forest, listening for the calls of bald eagles echoing from the towering spruce and hemlock trees. If conditions allow,
paddle a kayak near the intertidal zone to search for the fascinating creatures that thrive there.

Enjoy a relaxing morning on the Gulf of Alaska as you trace the rugged coastline north toward Yakutat Bay. Keep watch for the towering summit of Mt. Fairweather, rising more than 15,000 feet into the sky. This afternoon, the ship enters the bay and makes its way toward the mighty Hubbard Glacier—a six-mile-wide expanse of ice within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park. If ice conditions allow, there may be a chance to Zodiac cruise for up-close
exploration.

Explore the breathtaking bays of Chichagof Island, part of the ancient Tongass National Forest. This remote island hosts one of the world’s highest concentrations of brown bears and supports an incredible diversity of wildlife. Conditions permitting, paddle a kayak or stand-up paddleboard along rugged shorelines, or venture into the temperate rainforest for a rewarding hike. After lunch, spend time on deck with the naturalists as you cruise along the outer coasts of Chichagof and Baranof Islands, keeping a keen eye out for the marine and terrestrial wildlife that frequent these shores.

After breakfast, disembark in Sitka and transfer to the airport for flights home.
