As the day unfolds, set out on a skiff expedition, offering an intimate encounter with the bay's wildlife; a chance to witness majestic eagles soaring gracefully overhead.

Day 3
LeConte Glacier, United States
There is something in the water. The Wilderness Legacy glides through a tight waterway - sheer cliffs on either side of the fjord lead to the southernmost tidewater glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. LeConte Glacier is rarely seen as large cruise ships simply can't get here. This is our special corner of Alaska for the day, and you get to choose your own adventure. Grab a paddle and go for a kayak or even a paddleboard if conditions permit. Jump in a skiff and cruise among icebergs that can tower over the Legacy herself. This is a place of deep wonder and reverence for the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people; pause and listen to the sounds that surround you - this is where you belong today. (BLD) ... Read More

Day 4
Thomas Bay, United States
Mist hangs in the air. The soft exhale of a whale wakes you from your well-deserved slumber. The anchor drops into the milky blue waters of Thomas Bay as the summer sun cuts through the mist and the fog lifts. You hear it before you see it - a profound amount of water cuts through the forest in a series of waterfalls known as Cascade Creek. This is a favorite location for crew - one of the very few accessible trails in Southeast Alaska. Not to be missed, you have a level of hiking challenge to suit any skill level. After your foray into the woods, head back to the Legacy for a hearty meal as the boat repositions to the other side of Thomas Bay for new adventures. Water access is unmatched here, a kayak to a salmon run or skiff tour in search of bears wraps up your day. (BLD) ... Read More

Day 5
Kuiu Island, United States
The west side of Kuiu Island is our playground for the day. We're in black-bear country now and Kuiu Island plays host to the densest population of the iconic species on the planet. Tucked into Bay of Pillars, the waters are calm and filled with the smallest marine mammal on earth - the sea otter. Rafts of otters float by - unperturbed by our presence, and about as cute as one might imagine them to be. Humpback whales patrol the reefs in search of schools of herring - resident bubble-netters are a rare and exciting sight. The cold, nutrient-rich waters provide opportunity not just for above-water activities. Try your hand at a snorkel (you have the warmest wetsuits in the industry at your disposal, fear not) and unlock an entire universe of discovery as you discover the most diverse population of sea stars on earth, a surprise to many who visit this place. For just a moment, the cold water is forgotten as you're transported into what can only be described as a "cold water tropical reef". The Pacific transforms into the wildest touch-tank you can imagine. (BLD) ... Read More

Today's options feature shore walks, kayaking, skiff rides, and the thrilling prospect of observing brown bears from our small boats and kayaks.

Glacier Bay, United States
Welcome to the crown jewel of Southeast Alaska, Glacier Bay National Park. Today, we'll drop anchor in one of three remote areas within this extraordinary place, venturing into the rarely explored landscapes of Fern Harbor, Dundas Bay, or No Name Cove near Excursion Inlet. The entire day is dedicated to immersive activities, starting with early morning kayak and birding excursions into the park. The array of possibilities includes kayaking, paddleboarding, skiff expeditions, hiking, leisurely beach strolls, and more. Get off for an "All-Day" Yak & Whack - deep into the backcountry of one of the most remote national parks in the country. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is filled with opportunity, and it's yours for the taking. Back onboard after a full day (dare we say a full week), your expedition team shares photos from the week - sent to you as a parting gift. Lift the anchor and make way for Juneau. (BLD) ... Read More

As Juneau comes into sight, get out on deck for one last cup of coffee before you head to a farewell breakfast. Say goodbye to your crew and traveling companions (new friends galore).
