Cruise Overview

Alaska Cruise | Alaska and British Columbia—Inside Passage, Bears and Aleutian Islands (Southbound) 2025/2026

Experience Alaska's wild nature and rich culture as you cruise from Nome to Vancouver, exploring the remote Aleutian Islands and towns of the Inside Passage.  

Scout for bears in Katmai National Park and Kodiak Island, and look out for whales, seals, sea otters and rare birds like the red-legged kittiwake.  

Discover the untouched scenery, fascinating history and wild atmosphere of the remote, isolated islands of St. Paul and St. Matthew.

Wild Pacific coastal beauty 

Discover the pristine beauty of Alaska’s rugged coast, as well as Canada’s Inside Passage and the Aleutian Islands. In Misty Fjords National Monument and on remote islands you’ll visit where nature reigns free. As we go, keep an eye out for brown bears on Kodiak Island and in Katmai National Park, and scout for whales, fur seals, birds like bald eagles and rarities like the Kittlitz’s murrelet as we voyage north. 

Discover a living history  

Meet people belonging to Indigenous Tlingit and Unangan cultures, hunt for petroglyphs in Wrangell, and follow in the footsteps of gold prospectors and explorers on your expedition cruise. You’ll visit the picturesque ghost town of Unga and uncover ancient stories on mossy totem poles at Chief Shakes Tribal House, and you’ll go home with a profound sense of knowing the culture, ecology and history of this beautiful region.
