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 and birds including Bald Eagles and rarities like the Kittlitz’s Murrelet as we voyage north.
Discover a living history
Meet people belonging to Indigenous Lingit 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.
