Itinerary
1.

departure 6:00 PM
Embark on a journey to the breathtaking wilderness of Seward, Alaska. This charming coastal town, nestled at the edge of the Kenai Peninsula, offers a rare and unforgettable experience for nature lovers. Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery of Kenai Fjords National Park, featuring towering glaciers, and pristine coastal fjords.

02.
Cruising Hubbard Glacier, Alaska, United States Of America - jun 15, 2027
Only by sailing alongside North America's largest tidewater glacier can you fully grasp the majesty of this colossal natural phenomenon, which is 76 miles long and over 2,000 feet deep in certain parts – and steadily thickening. Watch in awe as the Hubbard Glacier's ice calves with a thunderous crash into the ocean, or spot humpback whales breaching from the waters and sea lions lounging on icebergs. This is nature at her most powerful.
03.
Juneau (Alaska), United States Of America - jun 16, 2027
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
This Gold Rush city is not only the capital of Alaska, but an epicenter of Alaskan history, culture, music, and food. Here, enjoy endless attractions, activities, and unimaginable glaciers, only accessible by air or sea.
04.
Wrangell, United States Of America - jun 17, 2027
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Situated at the northwest edge of Wrangell Island in the south of Alaska, Wrangell lies 155 miles south of Juneau and 89 miles northwest of Ketchikan. This charming harbor town, nestled in the Inside Passage, is not only scenically stunning – think snow-capped mountains, lush forests, pristine wilderness, and abundant wildlife – but it is also renowned for its Tlingit heritage, rich wildlife encounters, adventures along the scenic Stikine River, not to mention its 40 petroglyphs that are an estimated 8,000 years old. For millennia, the Tlingit people have inhabited this region, leaving a rich tapestry of their culture and history woven into Wrangell. The town boasts a remarkable array of totems, with over a dozen dispersed throughout, offering visitors a varied and interesting walk through stunning scenery as well as a chance to imbibe local stories and heritage.
05.
Klawock, United States Of America - jun 18, 2027
8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Anchor
This tiny hamlet (population: 710) on rugged Prince of Wales Island was first settled by the Tlingit people, who used the site as a summer fishing camp. The impressive totem park, set on a hill overlooking the harbor, houses one of the largest collections in Alaska. Gaze skywards at skilfully carved replicas of the original poles that marked the village of Tukekan, as well as poles chiselled in recent decades. The heritage center, longhouse, and carving shed on the edge of town are well worth a visit to see the masterful craftsmen at work.
06.
Ketchikan, United States Of America - jun 19, 2027
7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Celebrated as the ‘salmon capital of the world', the small Alaskan town of Ketchikan is an angler's dream and the ultimate destination for nature lovers. Hiking trails abound and the surrounding waters offer some of the best kayaking in the Inside Passage. Don't miss a visit to Misty Fjords National Monument, a breathtaking seascape of steep fjords, dramatic waterfalls, and dense coastal forest. And get a sense of the region's rich Tlingit culture at the Totem Heritage Center, which houses the world's largest collection of unrestored 19th-century totem poles.
07.
Seymour Narrows (British Columbia), Canada - jun 20, 2027
Narrow by name, narrow by nature: this three-mile waterway between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island in British Columbia makes up a small sliver of the larger Inside Passage, but is one of its most defining features. Named after Royal Navy officer Sir George Francis Seymour, the strait is known for its intense – and once treacherous – tidal currents, which became significantly more navigable with the 1958 planned explosion of Ripple Rock, an underwater twin-peaked mountain. Cruising the Seymour Narrows offers front-row access to the raw and rugged natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
08.
Vancouver, Canada - jun 21, 2027

Flanked by majestic mountain ranges on one side and the sparkling Pacific on the other, the British Columbia capital has natural beauty in spades, making it a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, swimming, mountain biking, and skiing are all on offer, and easily accessible from within city limits. But it's not just active types that Vancouver caters for. The sophisticated cosmopolis boasts world-class museums, bustling markets, live music and theatre, and a truly diverse culinary scene that spans everything from casual street food to boundary-pushing fine dining.
