Exploring the southern regions of Southeast Alaska on our expedition is an unrivalled experience. Navigate narrow channels like Behm and Blake, Walker Cove in Misty Fjords, Eastern Passage, and Wrangell Narrows. Lower Zodiacs to explore places like Hole in the Wall State Marine Park on Prince of Wales Island and drop kayaks and paddleboards into salmon-studded waters to trace the rugged, wildlife-rich shorelines of Kupreanof and Kuiu Islands.
Highlights
• Leave the ship every day with active options for exploring Alaska's wildness up close
• Venture by Zodiac into a fjord choked with blue ice from Leconte or Baird Glacier and walk along the shoreline among the ice sculptures stranded on the beach
• Sail Behm Canal into Misty Fjords National Monument in search of humpbacks, killer whales and sea lions, then hike the moss-draped cedar and Sitka spruce forest of nearby islands
• Visit a tribal house and a beach famous for native petroglyphs on remote Wrangell Island, or take a jet boat excursion up the Stikine River
• Whale-watch daily from the bow, keeping eyes peeled for orcas on the hunt
• Explore Ketchikan’s local port with its vast fleet and thriving commercial fishery
Arrive in Juneau, Alaska’s capital city. Just north
sits the Juneau Icefield, one of the world's largest
non-polar masses and source of many glaciers.
Transfer to downtown Juneau to visit the Alaska
State Museum or explore the area before
embarking our ship. (D)
Today we explore the LeConte Glacier, one of the
most active glaciers in Southeast Alaska and the
southernmost tidewater glacier in the Northern
Hemisphere. Icebergs regularly break off from the
glacier face, getting caught in this shallow moraine
and along the shoreline. Take advantage of
spectacular photographic opportunities, practicing
tricks and tips from our certified photo instructor.
Our experienced captain will read the ice and
bring us as close as possible to the glacier, where
we’ll set out by Zodiac to navigate among these
surreal floating sculptures. (B,L,D)
Navigate the stunning Wrangell Narrows, an area
inaccessible to larger ships, and then cruise into
the Sumner Strait, keeping watch for humpback
whales surfacing and sea otters gliding through
the clear water around our ship. Explore the coast
by kayak or Zodiac and go ashore to trace bear
trails through forests intersected by crystalline
salmon streams as you learn about the rainforest
ecosystem from our naturalists. Fix your
binoculars on the banks to spot Sitka black-tailed
deer and moose as well as black bears, wolves,
and bald eagles that frequent the shoreline in
search of plentiful salmon. (B,L,D)
This morning we arrive in the small town of
Wrangell. The Tlingit and their ancestors have
made this island their home for thousands of
years. Take an optional jet boat excursion up the
Stikine River or explore town, including a visit to
Chief Shakes Tribal House and the Petroglyph
Beach, home to the highest concentration of
petroglyphs in Southeast Alaska. This afternoon
we cruise Eastern Passage and Blake Channel,
narrow waterways on the backside of Wrangell
island where other ships rarely venture. (B,L,D)
Wake up this morning to catch the sunrise over the
stunning cliffs of Misty Fjords National Monument,
rising more than 2,000 feet above the deep blue
waters of the fjord. Watch wisps of cloud drift down
the winding waterway and drape over green peaks
as we cruise through the mists that give this
extraordinary landscape its name. Set out by
Zodiac and kayak to get close to the forested
banks and the many dramatic waterfalls cascading
down the cliffs. (B,L,D)
Arrive in Ketchikan, the southernmost city in
Alaska, spread at the base of forested slopes on
Revillagigedo Island. Its many monikers, from
"salmon capital of the world" to "rain capital of Alaska," capture the spirit of this city, famous for
colorful buildings and abundant fishing boats and
canneries. Visit the Totem Heritage Center to view
the priceless collection of 19th-century totem
poles. (B)
Itineraries are subject to change.
