Cruise Overview

Alaska Cruise | Alaska’s Inside Passage: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea 2026 & 2027

Experience the wilderness of Tongass National Forest with your knowledgeable Expedition Team.

Witness nature’s power first-hand with three days of glacier exploration in our small expedition boats.

Learn about Łingít and Kwakwaka’wakw culture from the Indigenous villages while visiting native communities in Alaska and British Columbia. 

Wild Alaskan adventure 

Sail from Seward to Vancouver on this expedition cruise through the southeast region of Alaska. Famed for its incredible scenery, our route takes us into Prince William Sound and Icy Bay, and we’ll be on the lookout for wildlife species along the way as diverse as orcas, whales, bears and Bald Eagles. Activities such as kayaking, hiking and expedition boat cruising will bring you into close contact with nature.  

Uncover deep-rooted history 

Seeking out culture, just as much as nature, will be our aim as we experience a warm welcome from the local native peoples of Klawock and Alert Bay. Here, we’ll see an impressive collection of totem poles and watch a Kwakwaka’wakw dance performance by the T’sasala Cultural Group. We’ll also explore historic Haines, framed by the mighty Chilkat and Takshanuk Mountains, as well as the immense Tongass National Forest before ending our journey in British Columbia’s Vancouver.
