Voyage into Tracy or Endicott arms, both spectacular fjords with waterfalls cascading from glacially carved walls. See the soaring Dawes or South Sawyer glaciers up close and take a cruise in a Zodiac for an unbeatable view among sculpted icebergs.

Petersburg, United States
Visit the small, true Alaska fishing town of Petersburg on Mitkof Island, which still retains much of its Norwegian heritage. Explore a unique Southeast Alaska ecosystem, the muskeg, with stunted trees and carnivorous plants. There is an opportunity to stretch your legs with an optional bike ride around town. This evening, enjoy a crab feast.

Frederick Sound, United States
Cruising Chatham Strait, United States
These waters are prime areas for both orca and humpback whales. With luck, guests may observe their fascinating behavior-breaching, tail-slapping, and variations on feeding-as you listen to the play-by-play from your expert naturalists. Explore spectacular bays and inlets, following bear trails and salmon streams. Once ashore, you'll have the opportunity to walk along a quiet forest trail. The still waters are excellent for kayaking, offering another option for up-close exploration.

Icy Strait Point, United States
Inian Islands, United States
Explore among the Inian Islands, a busy feeding ground for myriad wildlife species, including Steller sea lions, and sea otters. Search for marine mammals in the nutrient-rich waters of Icy Strait and choose the perfect spot around Chichagof Island to hike where sightings of bald eagles are common.
Day 6 - Thursday - Jul 17, 2025
Glacier Bay, United States
Spend the entire day amid the coves, fjords, tidewater glaciers, and majestic mountains of Glacier Bay National Park. Witness glaciers that end abruptly at the water's edge and observe them calving, when tons of ice separate and crash into the water accompanied by a thunderous sound. Mountain goats scaling the peaks, as well as harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and puffins, are some of the creatures you may observe. A visit to Tidal Inlet may bring the sight of brown bears lumbering up the hillside.

Coastal Navigation, United States
Today, nature is your guide as you set forth with the flexibility to take advantage of wildlife and weather conditions. You might stop at an isolated beach to take a closer look at tide pools, beachcomb, and hike stunning forest trails. Keep an eye out for old bear tracks worn into the soil as you move from forest to meadow. Sightings of bald eagles are common. If conditions permit, you'll have the opportunity to do some kayaking, always watching for marine and terrestrial life.
