Alaska / Juneau / Glacier Bay
Places visited
Venture into the heart of Glacier Bay National Park and beyond on this immersive small-ship adventure, where bears, whales, seals, puffins, and countless other creatures await in one of the world’s most pristine ecosystems.
This unforgettable trip includes a seven-night round-trip voyage from Alaska’s capital, Juneau, winding through dramatic fjords and icy inlets en route to Glacier Bay. Unlike most cruises that spend only a few fleeting hours in the park, this expedition grants two full days of exploration – offering rare opportunities to hike, kayak, and skiff into remote corners that few visitors ever see. These longer stays maximise chances of unforgettable encounters with sea lions, mountain goats, humpback whales and more.
As the ship sails southward, keep watch for coastal brown bears on Chichagof Island, witness the humpback feeding frenzies of Frederick Sound, and marvel at the towering ice walls of Tracy Arm and Sawyer Glacier before returning to Juneau.
Operated aboard the Wilderness Discoverer or Wilderness Adventurer, each carrying fewer than 80 guests, this voyage offers an intimate experience far removed from the crowds of traditional cruises. These nimble vessels are purpose-built to access narrow channels and secluded bays that larger ships simply can’t reach.
This is true expedition cruising—designed to get you off the boat and into the wild as often as possible. Whether paddling through glassy waters, hiking forested trails, or boarding skiffs in search of wildlife, every day offers new ways to engage with Alaska’s raw beauty.
The itinerary is always flexible, ensuring the crew can respond to spontaneous wildlife sightings, enhancing every moment of the journey.
If this particular voyage doesn’t quite suit your needs, there are plenty of other routes available on these and similar small ships. Prefer a larger vessel, a more relaxed pace, or an added touch of luxury? We offer those options as well. Whatever your preferred travel style, get in touch to explore the possibilities and find the adventure that’s right for you.
