Exploring Alaska's Coastal Wilderness

An intimate exploration of the magnificent Inside Passage of Alaska.

Trip Overview

Where can you wake to the cry of a soaring bald eagle, watch tons of ice thunder from the face of a glacier, walk in a spruce forest, and observe lunge-feeding whales, while cruising in complete comfort aboard a small ship? In Southeast Alaska — a land of fjords and islands teeming with wildlife. Our small ship Alaskan cruises will take you on an unforgettable journey along Alaska’s vast coastal wilderness. This one-of-a-kind Alaska cruise led by our experienced naturalist guides includes voyages to the Inside Passage and Glacier National Park.

Since 1982 our Alaska cruise ships the M/V Sea Lion and M/V Sea Bird have explored the magnificent Inside Passage of Alaska with an intimate number of guests in the company of naturalists aboard our small-ship Alaskan cruises. Walk forest trails to cascading waterfalls, bird watching and identifying wildflowers as you go. Enjoy Zodiac and kayaking forays and learn about Alaska’s rich Native American heritage. A full day is spent in Glacier Bay National Park.
