Itinerary:

DAY 1 - Sail from Juneau
Board your yacht after an included city tour this afternoon. Your crew greets you with champagne and smiles, and we’ll cruise to a secluded anchorage this evening.

DAYS 2-3 - Glaciers and Whales
Come face to face with massive glaciers and floating icebergs in Alaska’s majestic fjords. Watch for mountain goats, bears and harbor seals, and make sure to join your Expedition Leader on deck as we search for whales and porpoise.

DAYS 4-5 - Alaskan Towns and Passages
We’ll discover Alaska’s people and culture during our visits to Petersburg and Meyer’s Chuck, learning from local experts and residents as we go. Our Expedition Leader will guide us into the rain forest on a nature walk, and we’ll have ample opportunities for kayaking in pristine wilderness coves and passages.

DAY 6 - Misty Fjords National Monument
Set aside for its dramatic scenery and unique geologic and human histories, Misty Fjords is a gem in the wilderness. Marvel at 3,000-foot cliffs laced with waterfalls and search for bears, sea birds and deer as we explore by kayak and inflatable launch.

DAYS 7-8 - Ketchikan and Wilderness
Upon arriving in Ketchikan, we’ll enjoy a very special, private tour of Saxman Village, a Tlingit Indian community, with local tribal member Joe Williams. Explore a clan house and discover the stories behind the totem poles that line the avenues. Back onboard, recline on deck as we cruise among forested islands and scenic passages. We’ll anchor in a quiet cove, kayak and simply relax during our final day’s journey. Relive the experiences of our trip during a festive Farewell Dinner.

Arrive in Prince Rupert, B.C. after breakfast this morning, and transfer to the airport for connections home.
