Alaska’s Coastal Treasures Cruise
Embark on a journey crafted for the intrepid traveler, those with a spirit for adventure and a yearning to explore the untamed. Alaska’s Coastal Treasures is not your typical cruise—it’s a voyage for those who crave the thrill of discovery, following in the footsteps of history’s boldest explorers. This expedition takes you through Southcentral and Southeast Alaska, navigating remote waters and secluded bays that few have seen. Flexibility is key on this route, allowing you and the crew to adapt to the whims of weather and tides, just as the great seafarers once did.
The highlights are many along this uncommon route. Visit the historic shores of Kayak Island, where Vitus Bering’s crew first encountered the rugged Alaskan coastline. Cruise the legendary Lituya Bay, known for its challenging entrance and towering mountains. Consider add-on fishing in Yakutat. Experience the raw power of glaciers, witness abundant wildlife and venture into hidden corners that larger vessels can’t reach. Immerse yourself in Alaska’s wild heart, discover its hidden history and be guided by the spirit of exploration that shaped the last frontier.
One vessel operates this 14-day itinerary, the 36-guest Safari Explorer, which provides a luxury and intimate experience voyaging into the tiniest nooks that other small vessels can’t reach. Built on a unique reputation for adventure, this boat pampers her guests with a three-to-one guest/crew ratio, fresh and healthy meals, experienced expedition leaders/naturalists who know Alaskan culture and topography, high-end expedition gear, plus a wide variety of excursions to suit any activity level.
