North America Alaska Cruise

Northern Passages with Glacier Bay & Sitka

This 8-day Northern Passages with Glacier Bay & Sitka small ship cruise features on- and off-boat excursions along jagged coastline, narrow channels, secluded coves, tree-covered islets and lush backcountry wilderness. Cruise between Juneau and Sitka, Alaska, in the waters of America’s largest national forest, the nearly 17-million-acre Tongass National Forest. Follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook, the first European to enter Glacier Bay, in 1878.

Activities like hiking, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are the perfect way to spot bald eagles, harbor seals and orca pods—and the perfect way to experience Alaska together on this itinerary that’s one of our curated Alaska family cruises. Take a skiff ride near the Icy Strait to discover muskeg, enchanting mossy trees and kelp-threaded channels. Enjoy opportunities to seek out orange-beaked puffins, guillemots and marbled murrelets at Bartlett Cove and mountain goats near South Marble Island. Marvel at the Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers. Be on the lookout for surprise appearances by whales, sea lions, harbor seals, otters, porpoises and dolphins. On land, guided hikes of all levels offer opportunities to encounter giant trees, tidal pools and one of the world’s largest populations of grizzly and black bears.

The main 8-day Northern Passages & Glacier Bay cruise begins in Juneau and ends in Sitka. There is also a reverse itinerary that begins in Sitka and ends in Juneau, as well as special themed departures. Come aboard the 84-passenger Safari Endeavour for the perfect chance to view Alaska’s massive glaciers and enter some of the world’s deepest fjords to hike, kayak and stand-up paddleboard. The Safari Endeavour is a perfect basecamp for luxury Alaska cruises due to her unique amenities and ideal size.

Day 2
Lynn Canal or Chatham Strait

Lynn Canal or Chatham Strait, the captain makes the call. The guides provide gear and lead the adventure along the rocky outcroppings. By kayak or stand-up paddleboard, take in the size of this wilderness. Bald eagles dot the tree tops. Harbor seals bob up and under. Pods of orcas—the largest in the dolphin family—skim along the water’s surface.

Day 3
Glacier Bay National Park

What a privilege. At 3.3 million acres, this UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve is massive. At Bartlett Cove, a park ranger joins the day’s exploration and shares the park’s history. Orange-beaked puffins, guillemots and marbled murrelets are just a few possible sightings. Upon arrival at South Marble Island, a haulout for sea lions, take in the sights, sounds and smells. Watch for mountain goats perched around the bend and foraging bears lower along shore. Farther up the bay, glacial silt turns the water a milky white. Take in the Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers—one holding steady, the other retreating. Watch lounging harbor seals laze on bits of bergs and if time allows, tuck up in Tidal Inlet. End this full day relaxing for the sail into Icy Strait.

Day 4
Icy Strait

Nearly to the Pacific Ocean, Icy Strait is remote and wild with whales and marine mammals. Spouts and fin slaps are certain giveaways. Enjoy opportunities to view more rollicking sea lions and birds, but don’t forget to look straight down, as porpoises and dolphins may hitch a ride on the bow wave. And don’t worry about missing any wildlife; it’s a favorite mission of the crew to point out any creatures they spot. Make a break for it and head for a quiet pocket along the rugged coastline to see a different sort of wild than the open strait, where swampy muskeg leads to forest bushwhacks. Ride a skiff along the shore and down through kelp-threaded channels.

Day 5
Chichagof Island

Kick off the morning with on-deck yoga stretches (your guides love it when you join them). Meander through glacier-carved fjords along the Chichagof coast. Then stop. It’s a prime time to lower the kayaks and skiffs. Camera in hand, set off on land and sea explorations. Closer inspection by skiff, moss-dripping trees run right down to the water. Any bears in there? With one of the world’s largest populations of bears, it’s possible. Go searching for giant trees and tidal pools. Hiking in the Tongass, it won’t take long to find them. Your eagle-eyed guides lead the pack—and pull up the rear. Later, wind along a twisting channel known for dramatic currents.

Baranof Island & Peril Strait

Wend along a twisting channel known for dramatic currents. Peril Strait runs 50 miles to Salisbury Sound. The shorelines are close and it’s good territory for play. Skiff ashore and hike into the backcountry. Otters back-float working to crack snacks resting on their bellies. Opening at Hoonah Sound, the squeeze is back on. Wind into Neva Strait. Watch the scenery change in the late fading light—from the hot tub of course.

Krestof & Nakwasina Sounds

There aren’t many straight lines along Baranof Island. Its western side is spattered with remote, uninhabited islands. These features mean endless opportunities for adventure among secluded coves and tree-covered islets. Drop anchor and get going aboard a kayak, stand-up paddleboard or skiff to be on the level with curious sea lions and possibly whales. Rocky intertidal zones make good beach combing. There are no groomed trails here, only opportunities to enjoy a guided hike of which John Muir would approve. Toast the voyage with a festive farewell dinner and a photo journal of the trip: a gift from the expedition team.

"Spectacular"

This trip exceeded our expectations (and that isn't an easy thing). It fit our style and interest. Just the right mix of activity and fun. The scenery in SE Alaska was spectacular and the weather (mostly) cooperated. The ship and crew were exceptional. The guides were knowledgeable and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. So glad that we chose a small ship and especially Uncruise. We liked it so much that we signed up for a future cruise with them. I can't recommend them enough.
