Alaska’s Inside Passage from Vancouver to Whittier, 3 July 2027 (9 nights)

Scenic cruising through the Misty Fjords National Monument is an ethereal journey into a landscape that feels frozen in time. As your vessel glides through the deep, glacially carved wilderness of Behm Canal, you are dwarfed by sheer granite cliffs rising 3,000 feet straight out of the water, often draped in delicate, ribbon-like waterfalls. True to its name, the area is frequently shrouded in a mystical "liquid sunshine" or low-hanging clouds that cling to the dense, emerald-green rainforest of the Tongass National Forest. From the deck, you can witness the dramatic volcanic plug of New Eddystone Rock standing solitary in the channel, while keeping a watchful eye for bald eagles, harbor seals, and the occasional humpback whale. It is a profoundly quiet and majestic experience that showcases the raw, untouched grandeur of Southeast Alaska's "Yosemite of the North."

Klawock is a historic Tlingit village located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. The town serves as a cultural landmark, home to an impressive Totem Park with 21 intricately carved poles that preserve the heritage of the Raven and Eagle clans. Klawock acts as the island's gateway, blending traditional Native Alaskan lifestyle with a thriving modern economy.

Formerly Novo-Arkhangelsk, Sitka has a more a Russian feel than other Alaskan towns with orthodox style buildings and churches. In fact, this was the location where Russia officially sold ‘Russian America’ to the US in 1867 to become what is now the state of Alaska. Sitka also has a deep affinity with the native Tlingit population and preserving culture, nature and history with the Sitka National Historical Park as well as bear and bird sanctuaries.

St George Island is one of the remote Pribilof Islands, far out in the Bering Sea off Alaska. Its towering cliffs host some of the largest and most diverse seabird colonies in the northern hemisphere, while northern fur seals throng its rocky beaches. With its rich Aleut culture and astonishing wildlife, it's a fascinating outpost.

Icy Bay is a remote, iceberg-studded fjord in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve, formed within the last century by the dramatic retreat of the Guyot, Yahtse, and Tyndall Glaciers. At the beginning of the 20th century, the bay's entrance was completely blocked by a massive tidewater glacier. Today, it stretches over 30 miles (48 km) deep into Alaska's southern coast, dominated by the staggering presence of Mount Saint Elias, which rises over 18,000 feet just a few miles from tidewater. This wild landscape is part of the Wrangell–Saint Elias Wilderness and is accessible primarily by bush plane from Yakutat or via expedition-style scenic cruises.

Valdez is the largest port town in the Alaskan bay known as Prince William Sound. In the town are two museums, The Valdez Museum and Historical Archive, and the Maxine & Jesse Whitney Museum. Meanwhile nature enthusiasts will be stunned by Keystone Canyon, the Worthington and Columbia glaciers and opportunities to kayak through the bay.

Located in the northern part of Prince William Sound in Alaska, the College Fjord comprises five different glaciers, named after colleges and Ivy League masters. The largest of the glaciers is the Harvard Glacier, with dramatic scenery of a mountain valley and blue ice.

Whittier is a truly unique city like no other. Located around 60 miles from Anchorage, it has a population of 217 people, most of whom live in one building, Begich Towers, complete with a convenience shop, police station, clinic, church and even a school. Visitors to Whittier can stay at the bed and breakfast within Begich Towers and observe daily life in this remote town and admire the stunning views across the lake nearby.
