Cruise Overview

Alaska Cruise | Alaska’s Inside Passage: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea 2026 & 2027

Experience the wilderness of Tongass National Forest with your knowledgeable Expedition Team.

Witness nature’s power first-hand with three days of glacier exploration in our small expedition boats.

Learn about Łingít and Kwakwaka’wakw culture directly from the source while visiting native communities in Alaska and British Columbia.

Sail from Seward to Vancouver on this epic expedition cruise through the southeast region of Alaska. Famed for its incredible scenery, our route takes us into Prince William Sound and Icy Bay, and along the way we’ll be on the lookout for wildlife species as diverse as orcas, whales, bears, and bald eagles. Activities such as kayaking, hiking, and expedition boat cruising will bring you into close contact with nature.  

Seeking out culture, just as much as nature, will be our aim as we experience a warm welcome from the local native peoples of Klawock and Alert Bay. We’ll see Alaska’s largest collection of totem poles here, and we’ll watch a Kwakwaka’wakw dance performance by the T’sasala Cultural Group. We’ll also explore historic Haines, which is framed by the mighty Chilkat and Takshanuk Mountains, as well as the immense Tongass National Forest before ending our journey in British Columbia’s Vancouver.
