Quotes From the Field
Alaska cruise
Glacier Bay National Park and remote wilderness highlight this adventure. Spend your days hiking into wildlife-rich forests, standing atop a glacier, kayaking and riding a skiff along a dramatic fjord. Learning about the Tlingit culture and whale watching.
- Explore coves and corners of the bay in Glacier National Park with a local ranger, seeing what most visitors miss
- Kayak one of America's crown jewel national parks
- See sea lions, mountain goats, bears, moose, eagles and brightly-colered puffins, all with a spectacular scenic backdrop
- Jumping off the swim step (usually with the crew as well) and unofficially "Joining the Polar Bear Club."
- Enjoy two consecutive evenings in virtual isolation inside Glacier Bay at anchor in a hidden cove as larger vessels have exited the bay
- Set your course for arguably the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska
- Meander along the waterfall coast of Chichagof Island
- Discover Peril Strait a running 50 miles from Chatham Strait to Salisbury Sound, this haven for small ships is scenically highlighted by a very narrow connecting passageway called Sergius Narrows and an opening at Hoonah Sound
