ITINERARY

If Alaska has been on your list “someday,” this is the version worth waiting for.

This sailing is all about scale and silence. Massive glaciers. Long summer light. Small coastal towns where nature still sets the agenda. You’ll begin near Anchorage and head south through Alaska’s most dramatic waterways, ending in Vancouver after cruising the iconic Inside Passage.

What makes this voyage special isn’t just where you go, but how you experience it. Hubbard Glacier and Holkham Bay put you face-to-face with ice fields and calving glaciers that most travelers only see in photos. Ports like Haines, Sitka, and Klawock feel authentic and unpolished, offering a glimpse into Alaska beyond the tourist layer.

Sea days are just as memorable. The ship slows as you cruise glacier fjords and the Inside Passage, giving you time to step out on deck, warm drink in hand, and simply watch the world move by. No rushing. No crowds. Just distance, beauty, and perspective.

This is Alaska for travelers who want depth over checklists and comfort without excess.
