As you cruise through the pristine waters of the Inside Passage, prepare to be captivated by Alaska's untamed beauty. Watch in awe as towering glaciers calve into the sea, listen to the thunderous sound of ice breaking away, and witness eagles soaring above as you sail past majestic fjords and rugged coastlines. Each port of call offers a unique glimpse into Alaska's rich history and culture, from the gold rush era of Skagway to the intricate totem poles of Ketchikan. In Glacier Bay National Park, you'll find yourself surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, where ice-blue glaciers meet lush forests in a dramatic display of nature's grandeur.
Beyond the stunning views, this journey offers thrilling opportunities to get up close with Alaska's wonders. Whether you're hiking ancient trails, floating down scenic rivers, or savoring freshly prepared local salmon, each excursion will immerse you deeper into the Alaskan experience.

Syllabus & Itinerary
You can click here for a PDF of the syllabus and itinerary. Please note that the itinerary says "tentative". While the trip is fully planned and booked (the exception being the excursions), we are still over six months out, which means things can change. I do not expect any major changes, although it always feels prudent to include the word, "tentative."
