Embark on a journey through Alaska's breathtaking wilderness aboard a uniquely agile expedition yacht. Designed to navigate narrow passages and hidden inlets inaccessible to larger vessels, this 7-night adventure offers exclusive access to remote natural sanctuaries and rich Alaska Native heritage. Setting sail from Juneau towards Icy Strait and Chichagof Island, guests will explore tranquil spots such as Basket Bay and Iyoukeen Cove, home to roaming brown bears, sea otters, and humpback whales feeding offshore.
The voyage ventures deep into Admiralty Island National Monument, known to the Tlingit as the "Fortress of the Bear" for supporting the highest density of brown bears per square mile on Earth. Experience the rare opportunity to soak in natural hot springs at Warm Springs Bay, kayak alongside Red Bluff Bay's towering waterfalls, and search for humpback and killer whales in Frederick Sound. The expedition culminates in Endicott Arm, witnessing the thunderous calving of Dawes Glacier, complemented by expert naturalist-led hikes and skiff excursions.
