Cruise Overview

Alaska Cruise | Alaska’s Inside Passage: Fjords of the Great Land 2026 & 2027

Experience rugged wilderness and the glaciers of Icy Bay and Prince William Sound, and see the dramatic landscapes they helped form.   

Seek out wildlife such as bears, humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters, Dall’s porpoises, harbor porpoises, Sitka black-tail deer, bald eagles, rare Kittlitz’s murrelets, and moose. 

Visit authentic Alaskan communities in Klawock and Valdez.

Join us on an adventure from Vancouver to Seward as we venture deep into Prince William Sound, showing you majestic scenery, traditional Alaskan culture, and temperate rainforest wildlife. We’ll sail the Inside Passage and the Alaskan Panhandle, which are noted for their deep fjords, icy glaciers, and towering mountains. As we sail, we’ll be on the lookout for whales and orcas, as well as shore animals, including bears and moose.  

The southeast region of Alaska is known for its enchanting vistas and its mix of cultures. We’ll be stopping off at communities where Łingít, Haida, and Chugach people live, as well as places where other cultures—among them Russian, Norwegian, and Spanish—have left their indelible mark. With several days set aside for pure exploration, you’ll have the opportunity to walk, sail, and kayak in some of the most soul-stirringly beautiful places that wild Alaska can offer.
