Alaska's Inside Passage – Wilderness & Culture (Northbound)

8-day all-inclusive Alaska expedition cruise round-trip from Vancouver

Witness the raw power of Endicott Arm, cruising beneath towering cliffs and past sculpted ice as you draw close to one of Alaska’s most dramatic glacial landscapes

Connect with the living culture of the Pacific Northwest coast, rooted in Łingít traditions, where clan stories and legends are carved into towering totem poles and passed down through generations.

Step ashore on indigenous land and into small Alaskan communities, meeting members of the Sheet’ká Kwáan and gaining personal insight into their history and way of life.

Wild Pacific beauty

Explore the pristine beauty of the Pacific as we sail the Inside Passage, venturing into Tracy Arm or Endicott Arm (the route will be decided by the elements), where ice walls tower and waterfalls cascade into fjords, and Misty Fjords, where granite cliffs disappear into evergreen forest. Explore a landscape shaped by glaciers and rainforest, experiencing indigenous lands through a local lens, where Zodiac cruising reveals wildlife such as bears, eagles, and seals along the shoreline.

Encounters with Alaska’s Living Traditions

Discover the living cultures of Alaska’s remote coastline, where Łingít traditions and the heritage of the Sheet’ká Kwáan continue to shape daily life. Be greeted ashore by local communities – a rare privilege reserved for very few – and gain insight into authentic art, craft, and ways of life deeply connected to land and sea, often in places accessible only by boat or seaplane.
