Voyage to the Bering Sea - 5A/6A
The Bering Sea voyage offers you the opportunity to explore some of the most remote islands and scenic anchorages that are found along the Alaskan and Russian coastline. On the rugged shoreline of Russia's Chukotka Peninsula you will have the rare opportunity to visit the small villages of indigenous peoples such as the Yupik and Chukchi - traditional subsistence hunters. On the shoreline of Alaska's Geographic Harbor you will see bear's digging for clams, and search for the remote Arctic tern. The Shumagin & Pribilof Islands offer the chance to explore the tidal pools and tundra that make these places so unique.
