Or, step into mud boots for a forest hike with your top-notch, naturalist guides who have plenty to share about everything Alaska—marine biology, plants, and even geology.

On board, soak it all in as you soak in the hot tub.

Overnight On Board.

Day 5- 6 : Glacier Bay National Park

This national park covers 3.3 million acres (that’s a tad smaller than the state of Connecticut). Let that sink in. Most visitors see the same sliver of the park as everyone else. Not you. Over the course of two days, you will explore the remote wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park and the surrounding areas.

We will visit one of the park’s iconic glaciers: Margerie or John Hopkins. Glacier Bay is a wildlife-heavy area: keep your eyes peeled for stellar sea lions, sea otters, and whales. We will also pass South Marble Island and Gloomy Knob, popular areas for spotting puffins and other sea birds.

Small group excursions within the park may include skiff tours, kayaking, or hard-charger ridge hikes with epic views. The exact order of these excursions will vary, but you’re guaranteed to explore parts of Glacier Bay National Park that 99% of visitors never see!
