Itinerary/Details
Day 1Sitka & Peril Straits
Enjoy a guided walking tour exploring Sitka's Russian heritage and a fully-narrated "Sea Otter & Wildlife Quest" in Sitka Sound. Aboard your cruise, meet in the Lounge for an eventful evening of welcome aboard activities followed by a gourmet dinner in the Admiralty Dining Room.
Day 2 Glacier Bay National Park
Cruise up close to the face of tidewater glaciers in a renowned World Heritage Site. Hear "white thunder" as icebergs "calve" and splash. A Glacier Bay National Park Service Ranger leads on board enrichment and a Native interpretive naturalist shares Tlingit ties to this astounding Alaskan treasure.
Day 3 Juneau & Orca Point Lodge
Set off for Mendenhall Glacier, touring its Visitors Center exhibits and trails. Visit downtown Juneau for independent exploration or an optional excursion. Ride the tram to the top of Mount Roberts where the high alpine trails offer dazzling views - your ticket is included! Cruise to Colt Island, and go ashore for a grilled wild Alaska salmon demo and dinner at the Orca Point Lodge.
Day 4 Tracy Arm
Spend much of the day awe-struck by the natural wonders of Tracy Arm's narrow, twisting 30-mile long fjord. Hundreds of waterfalls spill off high granite cliffs, harbor seals rest on ice floes, and the Twin Sawyer Glaciers regularly calve icebergs. Relax over leisurely meals and soak up ever-changing vistas from your favorite deckchair.
Day 5 Hobart Bay
Linger all day in this pristine, remote setting in the Alaskan outdoors. An exclusive basecamp offers sea kayaks you can paddle, outboard driven zego runabouts to explore inlets and beaches of Hobart Bay, and two-person ATV's to ride the old logging roads of lush coastal rainforest. All equipment and gear is included.
Day 6 Petersburg
Petersburg is a fishing town established by Norwegian fishermen in the late 1800's. At the Sons of Norway Hall, enjoy a Norwegian Folk Dance show performed by Petersburg's children. You'll have free time to take a walk to Eagle Park, explore Sing Lee Alley, or shop downtown.
