Alaska's Inside Passage: Juneau to Petersburg

Itinerary

Day 1: Sail from Juneau

Transfer to your yacht after an included city and glacier tour. Your crew greets you with champagne and smiles, and you’ll cruise to a secluded wilderness anchorage this evening.

Day 2: Tenakee Springs

You’ll search for the tell-tale blow of the humpback whale as you cruise today, and later, all the charm of Alaska will greet you as you pull into tiny Tenakee Springs, a remote fishing village tucked into Chichagof Island. You’ll step ashore to stretch your legs and meet the people who choose to live their lives far removed from modern-day conveniences. Even here, seemingly worlds away from anyone, there is a wonderful local bakery and café, so do stop in! This evening you’ll anchor in a remote bay and drop the kayaks for a paddle before calling it a day.

Days 3-5: Alaskan Gems

You’ll cruise into the heart of Alaska’s Inside Passage during the next three days. Greet the days with your adventurous side! You’ll kayak under sea-carved arches back in the hidden inlets, and wander through misty coves where colorful sealife clings to the intertidal rocks. You’ll explore the temperate rainforest where bears make their homes, or listen for the clear call of a Pacific loon, one of the many beautiful seabirds that migrate through this region. You’ll spend your days cruising the waters where humpback whales, Steller’s sea lions, orcas and porpoise feed and frolic. You’ll visit striking fjords, enjoy guided nature hikes and soak in natural hotsprings. Your anchorages will be guaranteed reason to pull out your camera one more time. Marvel at 2,500-foot cliffs that rise straight up out of the water. It simply does not get better than this.

Days 6-7: Glacier Country

Two of the most remarkable days lie ahead. You’ll step ashore on a massive glacial sandbar where bird life abounds. Your Expedition Leader will guide you toward the face of a glacier whose face rests not far from shore. You’ll explore this glacial wonderland, watching as plants emerge in this newly uncovered landscape. You’ll also cruise slowly in an ice-filled fjord where you’ll see, as close as anyone can get, the wonderland of a fjord still being formed by an active glacier. These two days will stay with you like a magical memory for years to come. This evening, to celebrate your amazing journey in the inside passage, you’ll come together for a festive Farewell dinner before calling it a day.

Day 8: Petersburg

After breakfast you’ll arrive in Petersburg. You’ll bid you a fond farewell and transfer you to the airport for connections home.
