Sailing itineraries

Seattle
Your expedition cruise begins with an overnight stay in Seattle.
If you can, why not arrive early... see+ to explore what the Emerald City has to offer? Head to the Seattle Aquarium to observe sea otters and a giant Pacific octopus. You can also enjoy stunning views of Puget Sound and the surrounding mountains while strolling through the Olympic Sculpture Park, dotted with works by renowned artists.

And to awaken all your senses, visit the famous Pike Place Market. Open for over a century, this local farmers’ market is a true attraction with its fishmongers tossing salmon, street musicians, and lively bars.

If you have time to venture further, we recommend booking a pre-program with us to discover some of the region’s natural wonders.

Seattle Nome
Today, you will fly from Seattle to Nome for the start of your expedition cruise.
Nome is located... see+ at the tip of the Seward Peninsula, which extends into the Bering Sea, and is perhaps Alaska’s most famous gold rush town. Remnants of that era can be seen everywhere, including abandoned dredges, early 20th-century steam engines, and old railroad tracks.

Nome was also the final destination for three of Roald Amundsen’s major polar expeditions, including his 1926 attempt to reach the North Pole by air. It is the perfect starting point for your great Alaskan adventure. 
Breakfast

Dinner
Nome Bering Sea
Spend your first day at sea chatting with fellow explorers or watching the scenery pass by from the... see+ deck. You’ll have plenty of time to get to know your expedition ship. This might be the perfect moment to enjoy its facilities and get into expedition mode.

Bering Sea Saint-Matthieu
Saint Matthew Island is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. Located 322... see+ kilometers from the nearest village, the island is both wild and remote. You’ll find remnants of abandoned buildings between black sand beaches and tundra scattered with wildflowers. A few bold settlers tried to live here, but none succeeded.
Today, the only inhabitants are birds, including thousands of puffins, murres, and cormorants. During our nature landing, if we’re lucky, we may spot the rare McKay’s bunting, which breeds almost exclusively here. And listen closely, we might hear the sound of the singing vole, named for its unusual alarm call. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Saint-Matthieu Saint-Paul
Wind-swept Saint Paul Island is home to the largest Unangan community in the United States, with... see+ about 480 residents. You can visit the historic remnants of barabaras, traditional semi-subterranean dwellings designed to protect against ocean winds.
Saint Paul has also been designated as an Important Bird Area for conservation. A perfect resting place for migratory birds, the island attracts nearly 300 different species. Look out for horned and tufted puffins, Aleutian sandpipers, and rare slaty-backed gulls.

Along the shoreline, you might spot northern fur seals playing and waddling around. Half of the world’s population of these charming creatures lives on these islands. 
Activities: Includes: Landing at Saint Paul, see+

We will continue our journey south across the Bering Sea, from the Aleutian Islands to our next... see+ stop, Dutch Harbor. The expedition team will provide information on our upcoming destinations and continue their lecture series.
Keep an eye on the waters and skies for puffins, auklets, and murres, especially near the coasts. If you're lucky, you might spot the slaty-backed gull, which can only be found in this part of the world.

If you’d like to relax, you can enjoy panoramic views from our Explorer Lounge & Bar, the infinity pool, or the outdoor hot tubs.

At the Museum of the Aleutians, you’ll learn about the local indigenous people, the Unangan. Visit the Russian Orthodox Cathedral or the World War II Museum, which commemorates the 1942 battle that took place here.

Keep an eye out for bald eagles and puffins. On land, foxes, lemmings, and wild horses are abundant, while whales, sea lions, and porpoises inhabit the waters.

Dutch Harbor Unga
Wild and deserted, the village of Unga is an abandoned but picturesque settlement located at the... see+ southern tip of Unga Island.
It was settled by the Unangax^ people in 1833 but was abandoned in 1969, as subsistence fishing proved insufficient for survival. Today, the few remaining wooden buildings are the only evidence that people once lived here.

A carpet of pink petunias, fireweed, and other wildflowers surrounds the abandoned cabins, as nature has gradually reclaimed the land. Discover the mysterious beauty of this place during a nature landing with our small expedition boats. 
Breakfast

Accompanied by an experienced ‘bear guardian’, we will safely watch the bears from the deck or from our small expedition boats. We may see them searching for berries, digging for clams, or catching fish in the streams.

Depending on the conditions, we may visit Geographic Harbor, Kinak Bay, or Kukak Bay.

Inhabited by the Lingít people for 10,000 years, the city was colonized by Russian explorers at the turn of the 19th century before being sold to the United States after Russia's defeat in the Crimean War. Today, Sitka's roots are deeply embedded in these three cultures.

Weather permitting, you will join the expedition team for an excursion into the Misty Fjords aboard our small expedition boats. You will also have the opportunity to take a kayaking trip.

The Misty Fjords are home to rich wildlife. During your exploration, you may spot mountain goats, black and brown bears, and moose. The waters harbor Pacific salmon, otters, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, orcas, and Dall’s porpoises. And in the sky, you might spot herons and bald eagles.

Misty Fjords Inside Passage
The coastal itinerary of the Inside Passage takes us through the vast 'North American Pacific... see+ Fjordland', a protected stretch of water nearly 1,500 kilometers long. Unlike other ships that pass through it at night, you will be able to admire this sublime landscape in all its glory during the day.
