Itinerary:

DAY 1 - Sail from Seattle, Washington
Transfer to your yacht where your crew greets you with champagne and hors d’oeuvres. We’ll cruise north toward our serene evening anchorage.

DAYS 2-6 - The San Juan Islands and Canadian Inside Passage
We’ll wander through the San Juans, then visit the “boaters’ haven” of
Friday Harbor before departing for Canadian waters. Search for orca
whales, seals, sea lions and bears along the route. Our Expedition Leader
will lead nature hikes and kayaking excursions, and we’ll enjoy a First
Nations dance performance in a cedarplanked big house. Farther north,
we’ll step ashore with Naturalists from Raincoast Conservation Society.

DAY 7 - Prince Rupert, British Columbia
Prince Rupert is British Columbia’s northernmost port along our route.
Here, a historic sightseeing and museum tour introduces us to this scenic community. We’ll stay dockside tonight, so enjoy a walk in town after dinner this evening.

DAYS 8-10 - Alaskan Towns and Passages
Discover the cultural heritage of Alaska’s Tlingit Indians on a guided
tour of Saxman Village in Ketchikan, then settle into the solitude of hidden Alaskan passages. We’ll stop in at Meyer’s Chuck, a hide-away village of fewer than 50 people, then continue on with opportunities to kayak and watch for eagles, seals, whales and porpoise. In Petersburg, join a local guide for some first-hand stories and experiences of life in this
community.

DAYS 11-12 - Fjords and Hot Springs
We’ll spend these two days in the wildest, most pristine corners of Alaska. We’ll paddle our kayaks in remote fjords, hike to natural hot springs, wander through the temperate rain forest of Southeast Alaska and explore some of the most scenic, hidden gems one can find in the Inside Passage.

DAYS 13-14 - Glacier Bay National Park
Tidewater glaciers sweep like rivers of ice down massive mountain valleys, terminating in the waters of Glacier Bay. We’ll enjoy evenings at anchor in hidden coves and mornings paddling our kayaks in the quiet of this majestic wilderness. Along the way we’ll search for puffins, mountain goats, bears and more. To top off our trip, we’ll celebrate and reminisce together during our festive Farewell Dinner.

After breakfast, we’ll arrive in Juneau. A transfer to the Juneau airport or local hotel is included.
