The best of both worlds, this itinerary was specially crafted to blend adventure activities with visits to our favorite ports.

This is a voyage of stories—the stories you hear and the ones you tell. Imagine describing to friends the feeling of kayaking through Glacier Bay, while pushing aside floating ice and listening to ice calve into the water. The excitement of watching humpback whales breach as you watch from the deck. There are lots of memories to take home from this special cruise.

A note about published itineraries: sailing in remote waters has special challenges and responsibilities. Therefore we may occasionally alter itineraries for safety, or to take advantage of weather, wildlife and unplanned discoveries. Our ability to be spontaneous is a benefit you will never find on a larger ship. We believe this makes our style of cruising unique in Alaska. After all, wildlife pays no heed to human timetables; why should we?
