North to True Alaska Expedition Cruise

On this 6-day Alaska expedition cruise, experience an amazing array of True Alaska highlights. Take in Alaska’s famous wildlife, pristine wilderness bays and rainforest. Enjoy regular opportunities to paddle a kayak or adventure by skiff. Visit stunning Glacier Bay National Park and three of the Inside Passage’s most historical and charming towns—Sitka, Skagway and Juneau. While all of this is offered in a 6-day expedition cruise, the itinerary is carefully outlined in a way that is unhurried and there are multiple opportunities for unscripted discovery and adventure—hallmarks of this experience. Highlights include a tour of Sitka, wildlife viewing through Chatham Strait and Lynn Canal, taking in gold rush history in Skagway, a day tour into Canada aboard the White Pass and Yukon Route railroad, a surf and turf feast at the exclusive Orca Point Lodge and a full day within the renowned Glacier Bay National Park.

In addition to the main 6-day itinerary, there is also a reverse itinerary and a 6-day Alaska’s Spring Wilderness & Wildlife Safari aboard the 10-guest Misty Fjord. This flexible itinerary departs round-trip from Sitka, Alaska, exploring Sitka Sound during one of the most dynamic times of the year: the annual Pacific herring migration. As the Pacific herring concentrate in Sitka Sound, humpback whales, eagles and humans alike congregate to enjoy the seasonal wonder of the migration. Many locals prefer this season over any other time of year, with its crisp mornings, lengthening daylight hours and flora and fauna springing to life. The route for the Alaska’s Spring Wilderness & Wildlife Safari departures is flexible to allow the Misty Fjord’s captain and onboard naturalist to choose the best activities based on each day’s unique circumstances and guest interests. The Misty Fjord is an ideal basecamp for private Alaska yacht charters due to her small size.

For the main 6-day itinerary, passage is aboard one of three Alaska small ships: 76-guest Chichagof Dream, 58-guest Admiralty Dream or 40-guest Alaskan Dream. All three ships offer insights from their Alaska native owned and operated parent company, including a spotlight on native Alaska culture and a hearty spirit of adventure. Each ship’s shallow draft enables up-close access to pristine wilderness, complemented by spacious on-deck viewing areas. Their small size and excellent guest-to-crew ratios ensure each adventure through Alaska’s scenic Inside Passage is a true delight.

Day 3
Skagway

Stroll the boardwalks of the rollicking Klondike gold rush town of Skagway while enjoying its unique history. In the late 19th century, thousands of crazed gold seekers poured into the community en route to the Klondike. Wooden buildings, streets and docks were constructed in mere months. Skagway was rambunctious, lawless and tormented by a notorious con man named Soapy Smith. Today, historic businesses, frontier homes and museums bring the spirit of the gold rush to life. Aboard the White Pass and Yukon Route railroad, enjoy a journey retracing the steps of goldseekers into Canada. Built in 1898, the railroad climbs nearly 3,000 feet in 20 miles and offers stunning wilderness views. This excursion crosses the border into Canada, so passports are required.

Sitka Sound

On the Alaska’s Spring Wilderness and Wildlife Safari, skirt miles of rugged coastline and take in dramatic mountain views, pristine old growth forest and the bountiful wildlife that rely on herring as a keystone species. The shallow draft of the ship allows passengers an up-close view of stunning estuaries and bays that become spawning grounds for herring. While the specific timing of the herring spawn changes from year to year, be guaranteed an exclusive and personalized journey in and around the channels and bays of the Sitka Sound area.

Flexible days may be filled with whale and other wildlife viewing, kayaking, paddleboarding and hiking. Evenings bring exquisite meals featuring fresh Alaska cuisine while anchored in secluded coves. After a decadent dessert, step onto the upper deck to enjoy the sunset, alpenglow and stars while listening for the faint sounds of nearby humpback whales and the rustle of eagles settling into their nests. Upon setting sail, immediately be immersed in the unparalleled natural beauty of Sitka Sound. This itinerary truly has something for everyone: jaw-dropping photography opportunities, birding and wildlife viewing, kayak ventures, and even the possibility of witnessing the spirited and competitive commercial herring fishery.

Highlights of the Expedition may include: dazzling humpback whale viewing—these gentle giants are famous for their powerful and sometimes synchronized foraging behaviors of breaching, lunging and bubble net feeding; bays and inlets teeming with herring along with a great variety of additional wildlife including sea otters, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, porpoises, Sitka black tailed deer, brown bears, bald eagles, great blue herons, belted kingfishers and more; an up-close visit to the St. Lazaria Wildlife Refuge, an offshore volcanic island that is home to a variety of seabird species; a chance to step ashore on remote beaches dwarfed by the towering canopies of Sitka spruce, yellow cedar and western hemlock stands; hiking adventures on one or more of the many beautiful trails near Sitka (these trails include maintained paths or boardwalks through rainforest habitats that feature tidelands, waterfalls, muskegs and old growth forests); and a visit to the rustic mineral pools at Goddard Hot Springs, where visitors can soak in healing tubs while taking in views of the meadows, tidelands and islands scattered about Sitka Sound.
