Cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage in Southeast Alaska in comfort and style aboard one of Un-Cruise Adventures’ small ships. Thanks to their small size, these smaller Alaska cruise ships can travel into areas in Alaska’s waterways that most larger cruise ships cannot reach. You’ll explore seacoast islands, go whale watching for humpbacks, watch glaciers calving, and explore wilderness forests. You can also kayak, paddleboard, or take skiffs into remote inlets that bring you closer to Alaska wildlife, birds, and marine life, including eagles, sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and seabirds. You’ll travel into Frederick Sound, a playground for whales, harbor seals, and sea lions, Icy Strait, a favorite summer stopping point for whales, and Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Get close to glaciers, hike through the Tongass National Forest, and explore scenic waterways with local guides on this incredible Southeast Alaska adventure.
Airfare from/to Juneau; port fees and taxes; pre-night hotel in Juneau; super-premium wine, beer, and liquor; and gratuities (approx. 10-15% of cruise fare).
Start your morning with on-deck yoga and a strong cup of coffee. Explore the remote bays off of Icy Strait in your kayak, gliding through giant bullwhip kelp that can grow to over 100 feet long. Take a skiff to a rocky outcropping to watch sea lions play. Or, step into mud boots for a forest hike with your top-notch, naturalist guides who have plenty to share about everything Alaska – marine biology, plants, and even geology. On board, soak it all in as you soak in the hot tub.
Have your binoculars handy – South Marble Island is a birder’s slice of heaven. Puffins scoot through the water, guillemots and gulls chatter, and sea lions sleep through it all. Cruise to the far end of John Hopkins Inlet or Tarr Inlet where glaciers calve into the water. Look for bears and mountain goats along the shoreline. Back at Bartlett Cove, if time and daylight allow, take a forest hike around the park’s HQ.
At Admiralty Island National Monument kayak, skiff, and weave in and out of the bays and islets keeping your eyes out for Alaska brown bears and nesting bald eagles. Tlingit call the island Kootznoowoo, meaning “Fortress of the Bear”, and Admiralty Island has a higher density of bald eagles than all the other states combined. After another big day, pop up to the bridge to look over charts with your captain and mates.
Humpback whales come to Frederick Sound every season to feed on krill, zooplankton and herring. Watch for whales feasting in these abundant glacial waters. Based on wind and weather conditions, your expedition team has a lineup of adventures all mapped out. Cruise past Five Fingers Lighthouse, Alaska’s oldest light station and the Brothers Islands, where sea lions nap on rocks. Tonight, toast to another spectacular day in Alaska.
Humpback and orca are frequent visitors of this Southeast passage. Your captain navigates Wyndham Bay and Stephens Passage. Explore by kayak as little or much as you want. Or, hike into the Tongass. It is a landscape of hanging waterfalls and shades of green.
Skiffing up Endicott Arm, keep your eyes out for harbor seals lazing around on icebergs. If the tides are right, slip into Fords Terror and marvel at the steep walls of this narrow opening streaked with waterfalls. Back in Endicott Arm, admire the deep glacier carved valleys before arriving at Dawes Glacier where blue ice descends from the Coast Mountains. Listen for the sharp crack of glacier calving. Tonight, celebrate a week of adventure with a festive Farewell Dinner.

We had vouchers for our hotel stays and daily activities, so all we had to do was show up. We really enjoyed our tour of Turnagain Arm, and from Anchorage to Fairbanks during the winter.
