Group | Alaska Cruise

Overview

Join us on an adventure from Vancouver to Whittier as we venture deep into Prince William Sound, showing you majestic scenery, traditional Alaskan culture and temperate rainforest wildlife. We’ll sail the Inside Passage and the Alaskan Panhandle, noted for their deep fjords, icy glaciers and towering mountains. As we sail, we’ll be on the lookout for whales and orcas, as well as shore animals including bears and moose.

The southeast region of Alaska is known for its enchanting vistas and its mix of cultures. We’ll be stopping off at communities where Łingít, Haida, and Chugach people live, as well as places where other cultures – among them Russian, Norwegian and Spanish – have left their indelible mark. With several days set aside for pure exploration, you’ll have the opportunity to walk, sail and kayak in some of the most soul-stirringly beautiful places that wild Alaska can offer.
