Discover the wild nature and rich culture of Alaska, sailing through the Inside Passage and exploring the Aleutian Islands and historic frontier towns.
Isolated Islands in the Bering Sea
Starting in the Gold-Rush-era town of Nome, we’ll sail south through the Bering Sea. As we make our first two stops on St. Matthew’s Island and St. Paul Island, you’ll be awe-struck by the peaceful atmosphere of these two isolated places. Spend some time looking for nesting seabirds on the cliffs, like the Tufted Puffin, the Pribilof Sandpiper and even the rare Mckay’s Bunting which breeds exclusively on St. Matthew Island.
Historic towns of the Inside Passage
From there, we’ll make our way to Dutch Harbour where you can visit the WWII Museum to learn about the history of the harbour during wartime. Leaving this bustling port, we’ll explore the abandoned Unga Village before travelling to Chignik, site of local salmon streams. Where there are salmon, there are often bald eagles looking for a meal, so see how many you can spot.
Before reaching Kodiak, the largest fishing port in Alaska, we’ll stop off at Katmai National Park. This huge reserve is famed for its bears, which we’ll look out for while we visit. Marvel at the glaciers in Icy Bay as we travel to Sitka and Wrangell, two towns with a blended culture of both Native and Russian influence. Our final stop, Vancouver, marks the end of our journey.
