eave your watches behind and embrace Mother Natures schedule, letting everyday events of the wild guide your vacation. Your days are spent exploring Alaska by kayak, off-vessel hikes and walks, as your trip winds its way past hidden inlets and around misty islands. At night, lounge on your vessel sipping hot drinks, swapping stories and dreaming about tomorrow. Welcome bald eagles, humpback whales and brown bears into your circle of friends and allow the cacophony of calving ice to soothe your own savage beast.

Everyday holds the promise of adventure on this unshackled cruise. Our belief is that a pod of feeding whales, mountain goat perched on the cliffs and birds diving for their supper are sights too important to miss. We have devised a route that explores the untamed wilderness of Alaskas Inside Passage, but is flexible enough to accommodate natures everyday surprises.
