Welcome to Anchorage. Check in to your hotel and either relax after your flight or head straight out to explore.

Walk along the waterfront, browse local shops and galleries, or visit the Anchorage Museum to learn about Alaska’s history and culture. Later, enjoy fresh seafood at one of the city’s popular restaurants before resting up for your adventure ahead.

Hilton Anchorage

Spend the day discovering more of Alaska’s most populous city at your own pace. Visit the Alaska Native Heritage Centre for an insight into the state’s Indigenous cultures, or rent a bike and follow the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail for sweeping views over Cook Inlet.

Stroll through local markets, enjoy the city’s cafés, or take a short excursion into the nearby Chugach Mountains for a taste of the wild. Round off the day with dinner in town, perhaps with freshly caught halibut or other local seafood.

Hilton Anchorage

Take a morning flight from Anchorage to Juneau, where you’ll be transferred from the airport to the hospitality area. Upon boarding the ship, the crew will welcome you with champagne and warm smiles. Set sail for a week of scenic channels, towering glaciers, and secluded wilderness.

Wake up to views of Icy Strait and start the morning with on-deck yoga and a hot coffee. Then set out by kayak to explore sheltered bays, gliding through forests of bullwhip kelp that can grow over 100 feet long.

Take a skiff to nearby rocky outcrops to watch sea lions bask and play, or head ashore in mud boots for a guided hike through coastal forest, learning about the area’s marine life, plant species, and geology from your naturalist guides.

Spend two full days exploring the remote reaches of Glacier Bay National Park, far beyond where most visitors go. Hike across glacial outwash fields beneath the towering Fairweather Mountains, feeling the cool breeze from the nearby icefields. Cruise into Dundas Bay, watching for bears along the shore, humpback whales in the water, and even the rare sight of a wolf. Paddle a kayak through the bay’s calm waters or venture into the forest on a guided bushwhack to uncover the park’s wild beauty.

Wake the next morning to views of kelp-lined channels and dense hemlock and spruce forests. Continue your adventure with your expedition team, choosing from wilderness treks, skiff excursions, or paddling through hidden coves. Each outing reveals more of this pristine wilderness, from rich coastal forests to the diverse wildlife that calls Glacier Bay home.

Begin the day on the top deck for sunrise or a morning stretch before cruising through the glacier-carved fjords of Chichagof Island’s coastline. After anchoring, head out by kayak or skiff to explore moss-draped forests where the trees grow right to the water’s edge – prime habitat for the island’s abundant bears.

Step ashore for a hike in the Tongass National Forest, searching for giant trees, rich tidal pools, and wildlife, with your guides on hand to spot hidden details and share their local knowledge.

Spend the morning watching for humpback whales in the rich glacial waters of Frederick Sound – sometimes so many that it feels like “whale soup.” Your expedition team will shape the day’s adventures based on the weather, with opportunities to cruise past Five Fingers Lighthouse, Alaska’s oldest light station, and The Brothers Islands, home to resting sea lions. Paddle into the deep bays of Port Houghton or Windham Bay, or head ashore for a hike before ending the day with a celebratory toast to another unforgettable day in Alaska.

Wake early to take in the dramatic scenery of Tracy Arm Fjord – towering cliffs, floating icebergs, and deep U-shaped valleys carved by the Sawyer Glaciers. Cruise past harbour seals and their pups lounging on the ice before, tides permitting, boarding a skiff to venture deeper into the fjord. Navigate beneath sheer granite walls, past thundering waterfalls, and through shifting currents framed by the Coastal Mountains. Watch for mountain goats high on the cliffs before returning to the ship for the Captain’s Dinner, followed by cocktails and a photo recap of your week in Alaska.
