Our small ships take you into the hidden nooks and crannies of Alaska's Inside Passage. You explore the natural highlights between Ketchikan and Juneau at leisure, marveling at humpback whales in Frederick Sound, cruising within earshot of sea lion colonies sprawling on the rocks, and edging close to cliffside rookeries where murrelets, puffins and other seabirds nest. Add on a cruise to Prince William Sound and a visit to spectacular Denali National Park as an added bonus.
Day 1 : Arrive in Ketchikan and Set Sail
Transfer to your ship to begin your cruising adventure. D

Only small ships can negotiate Peril Strait and Sergius Narrows, the “inside” route to Sitka on Baranof Island. A guided walk through Sitka’s National Historic Park reveals towering totems keeping watch over the forest. You may see playful otters, Sitka black-tailed deer, and eagles. BLD
