Exploring Alaska's Coastal Wilderness

Where can you wake to the cry of a soaring 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 nimble expedition ship? In Southeast Alaska — a land of fjords and islands teeming with wildlife.

Since 1982, our Alaska expedition has explored the magnificent Inside Passage of Alaska with an intimate number of guests in the company of Naturalists aboard our small ship voyages. Walk forest trails to cascading waterfalls, bird-watching and identifying wildflowers as you go. Enjoy Zodiac and kayaking forays, whale watching, and learn about Alaska’s rich Native American heritage. A full day is spent in Glacier Bay National Park. You may also join our optional land extension to Denali National Park.
