Cruise Overview

Alaska Cruise | Alaska and British Columbia - Wilderness, Glaciers and Culture (Southbound) 2025/26

Explore the vast wilderness and historic towns of Alaska as you journey from Anchorage to Vancouver. 

Discover Alaska's wild landscapes and captivating fjords, scanning for humpback whales, Bald Eagles and bears along the way. 

Enjoy a scenic overland journey to Seward, and experience the vibrant city of Vancouver, visiting historic Gastown, Granville Street and West End beaches. 

Soul-stirring scenery and wildlife 

After a scenic overland transfer from Anchorage, we voyage from Seward to Vancouver and begin an expedition cruise to show you the remarkable diversity of nature and culture offered by Alaska and British Columbia. You’ll see towering mountains whose flanks are clad in old growth rainforest, and you’ll also see glittering glaciers and deep blue fjords. As we progress, we’ll be on the lookout for some of Alaska’s many wild species, including Bald Eagles, moose, bears, Steller sea lions, otters, orca, humpback whales and many, many seabirds.  

 A land of living cultures

Alaska has a rich and complex history and is home to numerous cultures. From native peoples including the Tlingit and Haida, to the Russian settlers and the American Gold Rush pioneers – there's so much to discover on your voyage. Activities such as kayaking up to waterfalls in the Misty Fjords, small boat cruising near glaciers, and authentic cultural experiences will ensure Alaska is imprinted onto your very soul.
