Expedition Cruises in Alaska

Alaska and British Columbia may be two of the world’s most quintessential off-the-beaten-track destinations, but their remote and rugged beauty have inspired a wide array of ways to explore them – none more rewarding than cruising through their icy waters. Whether you choose a traditional voyage or a more expedition-style journey, cruising allows you to venture deeper into North America’s wild heart, accessing remote areas that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach.

We work with a diverse selection of vessels and operators, offering options to suit all preferences, interests, and budgets.

No matter your choice, unforgettable memories await. Wildlife encounters may include sightings of humpback, orca, and grey whales; black and grizzly bears fishing for salmon in untouched rivers; and bald eagles, puffins, and countless other bird species that thrive in these unique ecosystems.

The scenery is no less impressive, with highlights including the famous sheltered waters of the Inside Passage and the dramatic ice walls of Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords National Parks. And, if you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the ethereal aurora borealis, with sightings possible on early spring or late summer departures.

Onboard, your experience can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you desire. Larger ships often provide a full suite of luxury amenities, such as fine dining, spa treatments, gym equipment and evening entertainment. They tend to have more spacious cabins and cater to those for whom comfort is key. Smaller vessels, on the other hand, offer a more intimate setting with personalised service and a cosy, laid back atmosphere. Passengers tend to spend more time off board and so these are often seen as the more active option. Each operator has their own unique approach, so ship size is just one of the parameters you should pay attention to.
