Day 1: Seward Embarkation
Welcome to Alaska! Fly into Anchorage and then transfer to the beautiful town of Seward. Meet your crew and tour Safari Explorer, UnCruise's flagship vessel and your home for the week. After champagne and a safety demonstration, enjoy your first of many farm-to-table gourmet meals! Adventure here we come.

Meals included: Dinner

Day 2: Icy Bay Glaciers
Wake up in the glacial waterways of Icy Bay. Flowing down from the 4,000-foot surrounding peaks, Chenega, Tigertail, and Tiger glaciers are all options this morning. Hop in a skiff, and if conditions are right, kayak in a remote cove tucked into the shoreline. Your expedition team shares how glaciers sculpt and alter the landscape on a daily basis. Feel the essence of this land of the Chenega people, meaning “beneath the mountain,” as you weave through these deserted islands by kayak, skiff, and yacht.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 3: Captain's Choice
Tuck into the southern reaches of Prince William Sound, exploring its sculpted islands. Some call it “gunkholing”— nosing around the next cove—and there’s plenty to see. Search for whales, seals, sea lions, and seabirds from the bow or opt to kayak or beachcomb for a closer look at island life with natural and cultural history notes from your guides.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4: Cordova
Cordova, this tiny fishing town only accessible by air or sea, is quintessentially Alaska. Explore on your own or join your shipmates on a walking tour to see the mouth of the Copper River. Or you can choose to accompany your guides for a day below the Sheridan Glacier. For those looking to adventure all out, race your guides to the top of the EYAK ski hill on our hard charger hike. Finally enjoy the landscape before settling back on board for a quiet evening.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 5: Columbia Glacier
Options aplenty this morning. Hike, kayak, skiff, or try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding in a quiet cove before a hearty lunch back onboard. Next up: towering icebergs born from the approaching Columbia Glacier. Winding its way 32 miles back through Chugach Mountains and with constantly changing conditions, your captain finds the best route to view this massive glacier.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 6: Unakwik Inlet & Meares Glacier
Arctic terns and bald eagles, harbor seals resting on icebergs and the massive Meares Glacier as your backdrop, Unakwik Inlet is the perfect place to dip your paddle in the water for a kayak. Or, join a skiff tour to get farther faster in glacier country. This is wilderness at its wildest. Feel the mountains closing in as you cruise through Esther Passage. View a fish hatchery and learn about Alaska’s salmon species. Tonight, join your expedition leader for an interpretive presentation before a relaxing soak in the hot tub under the fading sun.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 7: College Fjord & Barry Arm
Day of the grand finales. Big mountains, big ice, and big smiles as we wind down our adventure in the company of all that is quintessentially Alaska. Sea otters float on their backs on beds of kelp. Watch them lounge before diving and rising with puffins in search of food. Take it all in from a kayak or skiff before capping off your week with a celebratory farewell dinner and slideshow.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 8: Seward Disembarkation
One last breakfast with new friends before heading back to Anchorage for your flight home. Take in the stunning views along the Seward Highway on your way to the airport.

Meals included: breakfast
