Itinerary
The itinerary below reflects a Juneau starting point and ending point in Ketchikan; however, many departures will operate in reverse, starting in Ketchikan and ending in Juneau. See our “Dates and Prices for this trip” document to refer to specific direction for each date.
Welcome to Juneau! We have time to take in a bit of the city once we check-in at the hospitality area. After boarding, we grab a glass of bubbly as we push off the dock and set sail for the Endicott Arm wilderness. Plan to arrive in Juneau before 2pm. All meals included once onboard.
We rise early and take an excited peek out our window to find fjord cliffs reaching skyward, floating ice and deep u-shaped valleys. This is Alaska! We cruise past harbor seals and their pups lounging on chunks of ice and at the end of Endicott, the blue face of Dawes...
Yoga stretches on-deck jumpstart our day. Humpback and orca are frequent visitors of this southeast passage where a misty spout is a sure sign they’re in the neighborhood. Our captain navigates Stephens Passage to Port Houghton where we are in for a boot-sucking, padd...
When we come this far, we might as well go all in. This is way back backcountry of Alaska's wilderness with its glacial landscapes marked by moraines, muskegs and mud. In this playground, it’s all an option today. We could kayak or skiff in water almost clear as glass...
Home to native culture, wildlife, and wonder—Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska and the only one ever governed by four nations. Before venturing into town, local islanders join us on board with a presentation that brings their stories and legends to life. A...
Wildlife abounds including black bears, mink and eagles. In Behm Canal, it’s all remote waterways and the isolated Tongass National Forest. On Cleveland Peninsula, our expedition team leads a low-elevation hike with wide-stretching views and good opportunities for pan...
There are places on the planet that completely overcome us. Misty Fjords National Monument, affectionately nicknamed “The Yosemite of the North,” is one of them. The beauty, the peace and the sense of place surround us. It represents nearly every ecosystem found in So...
After breakfast this morning, we bid adieu to the new friends we’ve made before disembarking. Transfers are offered to the Ketchikan airport unless plans have been made to overnight or extend with a land tour. Flights out of Ketchikan must be scheduled after 11:30am.
