Seward, United States
Enjoy a drive through spectacular scenery. After breakfast, you'll enjoy a scenic drive to Seward. Our route goes through the Kenai Peninsula, considered by Alaskans and visitors alike to be some of the world's most awe-inspiring backcountry scenery. The transfer will take you through this stunning scenery as we wend our way to the Pacific coast where our expedition ship awaits. Our embarkation point, Seward, is the only deep-water ice-free port with road, rail, and air connections to Alaska's interior.

Day 3
College Fjord, United States
Get ready to experience nature's raw power. Today we visit College Fjord, which features five tidewater glaciers and five valley glaciers, as well as a dozen other types. The 1899 Harriman expedition team, which charted the fjord, named the glaciers after their alma maters, including Vassar, Harvard, and Yale. Princeton is missing, apparently a deliberate snub. We'll get as close to the glaciers as we safely can, taking our small expedition boats into the fjord or even exploring by kayak if conditions permit. From the water, you might catch sight of humpback whales, bald eagles, otters, and sea lions, all of which inhabit this icy wilderness. ... Read More

If conditions allow, you'll explore in the small expedition boats or by kayak, immersing you in the remarkable beauty of this icy landscape. Wildlife abounds in the Gulf of Alaska, offering unrivaled photography opportunities. Humpback whales, orcas, Steller sea lions, sea otters, and harbor seals lazing on floating chunks of ice are often seen in these waters. ... Read More

Today, Sitka has roots in all three cultures. A visit to the Russian Orthodox cathedral and Russian Bishop's House is recommended.

Skywards, you might spot herons and bald eagles. ... Read More

Cruising Alaska's Inside Passage, United States
See sublime scenery as we sail the Inside Passage. The Inside Passage coastal route takes us through the great North American Pacific Fjordland, a protected stretch of water over 930 miles long. Unlike other cruises which pass through at night, you'll be able to view the sublime scenery in all its glory during the day. Our smaller expedition ship allows us to reach areas that larger vessels can't, meaning you'll get to explore lesser-traveled channels with breathtaking scenery.
