Enquire / BookExplore Southeast Alaska on this exciting 6-day small ship expedition cruise, visiting highlights like Haines, the Inian Islands and Tracy Arm Fjord, with opportunities to encounter iconic Alaskan wildlife.
Alaska’s Inside Passage is a myriad of glacier-carved fjords, rainforests and wildlife: steep-sided mountains, misty pine forests, glassy icebergs and a scattering of countless islands. Winding through such a varied landscape, you can rapidly immerse yourself in one of the world’s most wonderous places.
In this itinerary, you will visit dramatic locations and be given the opportunity to explore each from different perspectives - by kayak, paddleboard, or on foot. Hike through the Tongass National Forest with special permit access, paddle along the shores of Baranof or Chichagof Island, and watch for Brown Bears along salmon-rich riverbanks. You can also choose to visit the indigenous Tlingit Village at Haines and watch the traditional Klukwan dance.
This voyage is ideal for those who don’t have long to explore this unmissable destination, with opportunities to see some of the region’s emblematic species and renowned locations. For chances to see Orcas and the extraordinary bubble-net feeding behaviour of Humpback Whales, please refer to our longer voyages below.

Itinerary
Please note that this itinerary is written to provide a flavour of each voyage. The actual route will vary according to choice of vessel, the captain and expedition team in accordance with prevailing ice, weather and sea conditions and opportunities to see wildlife and wilderness scenery.
Day 1 – Sitka
Arrive in Sitka, Alaska. Situated on the western coast of Baranof Island and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Sitka is known for its Tlingit culture and remnants of its Russian heritage which date back to the 1800s. Embark this evening in time for cocktails and an introduction to the staff and crew.
Day 2 – Baranof or Chichagof Island
Explore the breathtaking bays of Baranof or Chichagof. Both islands are part of the ancient Tongass National Forest. Chichagof harbors one of the highest concentrations of brown bears in the world, and both islands are home to diverse wildlife. Kayak or paddleboard along rugged coastlines and go hiking through the temperate rainforest, listening for bald eagles calling out from the tops of towering spruce and hemlock trees.
Day 3 – Icy Strait & Inian Islands
Spend today searching for wildlife in nutrient-rich waters where the Pacific Ocean meets the Inside Passage. Options include a Zodiac cruise among the Inian Islands, home to a sizeable population of Steller sea lions; kayaking in the protected coves of Chichagof Island; or hiking in lush temperate rain forest where bald eagles dot the canopies.
Day 4 – Haines
A paradise for adventure seekers, Haines offers the chance to cycle along the edge of a glacial fjord, go fly fishing for salmon and Dolly Verdon trout, or choose from an array of world-class hikes. Other options include a visit to the ancient Tlingit village of Klukwan for a dance demonstration and cultural interpretation before rafting down the Chilkat River. This day brims with options.
Day 5 – Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness
Wake up in Tracy Arm or Endicott Arm, part of the Tracy Arm-Ford's Terror Wilderness. Cruise through this glacier-sculpted fjord, then set out to explore by Zodiac. View the soaring Dawes or South Sawyer Glacier up close—and keep an eye out for the dramatic sight of huge slabs of ice breaking off and crashing into the water below. If conditions permit, paddle a kayak below the steep walls of the fjord. Celebrate your voyage with a farewell dinner on board.
Day 6 – Juneau
Have breakfast onboard then disembark in Juneau and transfer to the airport for flights home.
