Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Sunday - Aug 4, 2024

Juneau, United States

Arriving in Juneau, you will be transferred from the airport to the check-in area. Upon boarding, your crew greets you with champagne and smiles. Set sail for a week of scenic channels and secluded wilderness. (D)

Day 2 - Monday - Aug 5, 2024

Icy Strait Point, United States

Neka Bay, Chichagof Island, Alaska, United States

Kick start the morning with on-deck yoga stretches and a strong cup of coffee. Energized and snug in your kayak, glide around in remote bays off of Icy Strait through giant bullwhip kelp that can grow to over 100 feet long. Join the gang in a skiff to a rocky outcropping to watch sea lions play. Or, step into mud boots for a forest hike with your top-notch naturalist guides who have plenty to share about everything Alaska-marine biology, plants, and even geology. Neka Bay is also known for terrific bushwhacks and enjoyable Kayak adventures. Onboard, soak it all in as you soak in the hot tub. (BLD)

Day 3 - Tuesday - Aug 6, 2024

Glacier Bay, United States

This national park covers 3.3 million acres (that's a tad smaller than the state of Connecticut). Let that sink in. Most visitors see the same sliver of the park as everyone else. Not you. You're going the furthest and exploring parts that 99% of visitors never go to. And you have two days to do it. Hike the outwash field of glaciers winding down the Fairweather Mountain Range. The cool breeze off the nearby snow and icefields is energizing. If you motor over to Dundas Bay, keep your eye out for bears, humpbacks, and if you're lucky, a wolf sighting. Kayak the bay. Bushwhack into the forest. Discover Glacier Bay. (BLD)

Day 4 - Wednesday - Aug 7, 2024

Glacier Bay, United States

Before you do anything, look out the window. From kelp-lined channels to hemlock and spruce forests, every inch of this far northwest corner is worth exploring. And today's adventures promise to be as big as the water is deep! Whatever you do-wilderness trekking, skiffing, or paddling-your expedition team guides the way. (BLD)

Day 5 - Thursday - Aug 8, 2024

Chichagof Island, United States

Enjoy the top deck for a sunrise or morning stretch. Meander through glacier-carved fjords along the Chichagof coast. Then anchor. 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. (BLD)

Day 6 - Friday - Aug 9, 2024

Frederick Sound, United States

Hang out and enjoy the show. You may find yourself in 'whale soup' surrounded by feeding humpbacks swimming these abundant glacial waters. Based on wind and weather, your expedition team has the lineup of adventures all mapped out. Cruise past Five Fingers Lighthouse, Alaska's oldest light station, and The Brothers Islands, where sea lions nap on rocky knobs. Paddle into the deeps of Port Houghton or Windham Bay or head ashore for a hike. Tonight, toast another big day in Alaska. (BLD)

Day 7 - Saturday - Aug 10, 2024

Tracy Arm Fjord, United States

Take an early peek out your window. Fjord cliffs reach skyward. Floating ice. And deep U-shaped valleys. There's no abracadabra here. Mother Nature's magic is real. Cruise past harbor seals and their pups lounging on chunks of ice. Tides permitting, your skiff driver knows the ropes and guides you along. It's a mashup of towering walls, temperamental currents, and the Coast Mountains. So many waterfalls. Mountain goats show off fancy footwork on the cliffs, so keep your eyes open. Finish your week with captain's dinner and post-dinner cocktails watching the week's "photo journal" by your crew. (BLD)

Day 8 - Sunday - Aug 11, 2024

Juneau, United States

Linger over breakfast this morning cruising into Juneau. Wish your crew and new friends goodbye. Then it's off to the airport or begin your UnCruise hotel stay or land tour. (B)
