Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Your expedition begins

    Set sail from Vancouver

    Your adventure starts in Vancouver. A bustling and beautiful seaport city set against steep mountains.

    Vancouver's various neighbourhoods buzz with world-class farm-to-table cuisine. Wander Gastown, Vancouver’s Victorian quarter or walk around beautiful Stanley Park, which offers a view of the city and a glimpse of the stunning nature you’ll see on the voyage. Why not arrive early and take advantage of everything Vancouver has to offer.

    Your expedition ship MS Roald Amundsen awaits you at the pier. Settle in and take your time to get to know the ship before listening to the safety briefing.

  2. 2

    Cruising Queen Charlotte Sound

    Marine wildlife along the Pacific coast

    The Inside Passage is one of the great coastal routes of the world, with over 900 miles of sheltered Pacific waterway, carved by glaciers and fringed by ancient forest. Today we venture beyond its shelter into the open waters of Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait, where the island of Haida Gwaii lies to the west.

    These are productive seas. Keep watch for humpback and fin whales, orcas, minke whales, and Pacific white-sided dolphins. This is a voyage that rewards those who keep their eyes on the horizon.

  3. 3

    Unspoiled Misty Fjords

    Revel in a wilderness where wildlife thrives

    Part of the Tongass National Forest, Misty Fjords is a pristine wilderness of evergreen trees, roaring waterfalls and snowcapped peaks. The revered naturalist John Muir described the area as one of the most beautiful places he’d ever seen.

    Weather permitting, you'll join the Expedition Team to tour Misty Fjords in our small expedition boats, or explore in a kayak.

    Misty Fjords is rich in wildlife. As we explore, scan the shores and forests for black and brown bears, as well as moose. These waters are home to Pacific salmon, otters, Steller sea lions, harbour seals, orcas and Dall’s porpoises. Skywards, you might spot herons and Bald Eagles.

  4. 4

    The totems of Klawock

    Discover Klawock’s Native heritage

    Today we visit Klawock, beautifully situated on the western shore of Prince of Wales Island. The small town has a population of around 700 and is known for its array of totem poles.

    A centre for Łingít culture, the original name of the island was 'Taan' meaning sea lion. At the Totem Park you’ll see 21 exquisitely carved examples, some of them replicas of the originals that stood in the winter village of Tuxecan.

  5. 5

    Southeast Alaska

    Days 5–6

    Embrace the thrill of wild Alaska

    Start your day looking out for whales in the pristine waters of Frederick Sound. The next two days are exploration days, so the Captain and Expedition Team will use their expertise to choose the best destination.

    We might go ashore for a nature landing, take to the water in our expedition boats and investigate the secluded coves and forested shorelines of the 150-mile-long Chatham Strait, or sail into Icy Strait, where opportunities for kayaking may present themselves if the conditions are right. Wherever we explore, keep a lookout for wildlife as bald eagles, bears and humpback whales can be spotted in this region.

    As ever, we will gauge the weather conditions and wildlife spotting opportunities to decide upon the best location.

  6. 7

    Glaciers of Icy Bay

    Spot wildlife in these glacier-fed waters

    Today is an exploration day in Icy Bay. Three glaciers – Guyot, Yahtse, and Tyndall – each feed ice into the bay’s waters to give it its name. If conditions allow, you’ll explore in our small expedition boats or by kayak, immersing you in the remarkable beauty of this icy landscape.

    From Icy Bay, you can admire striking, jagged Mt. St Elias. Known for its steep vertical relief, it is the second tallest peak in the US and third tallest in the US and Canada at over 18,000 ft.

    In the Gulf of Alaska, we’ll scout for humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, and harbour seals which are often seen in these waters.

  7. 8

    Historic Valdez

    Learn about the rich history of Valdez

    Today you’ll see a region that was in the news for all the wrong reasons when the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in 1989, but which today has made a remarkable recovery. After significant clean-up efforts, the coastline has largely recovered — a testament to what can be done to heal damaged ecosystems.

    On a visit to the Valdez Museum, you’ll see exhibits of Native Alaskan art and culture as well as artifacts from the Gold Rush era, and learn about the history of Alaska’s Bush Pilots. As we travel around this region, look out for wildlife such as beavers, moose and bears.

  8. 9

    Tidewater Glaciers of Prince William Sound

    Get ready to experience nature’s raw power

    Today is a day all about glaciers. Prince William Sound is home to 150 of these amazing rivers of ice, including 17 incredible tidewater glaciers. Your Captain will choose the best location for the day based on the conditions.

    We’ll get as close to the glaciers as we safely can, taking our small expedition boats into the fjord or even exploring by kayak if conditions permit. From the water, you might catch sight of humpback whales, Bald Eagles, otters and harbor seals, all of which inhabit this icy wilderness.

  9. 10

    Whittier’s Stunning Beauty

    Disembark in Whittier

    Your expedition cruise ends in Whittier, a small, picturesque fishing town of just a few hundred residents, nestled between towering mountains and the deep blue waters of Prince William Sound.

    Surrounded by dramatic glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and lush temperate rainforests, it serves as a gateway to the sound – a haven for kayakers, photographers, and adventurers drawn to its pristine fjords and abundant wildlife.

    From here you will be transferred to the airport in Anchorage.

    To get the most out of your time here, we recommend joining our -post-voyage option.
