Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Glide through Chatham Strait's 150-mile wilderness corridor aboard an intimate expedition boat, navigating secluded coves, iceberg-strewn waters, and ancient rainforest shorelines. A bucket-list immersion into Southeast Alaska's most dramatic seascape.
Join an exclusive six-passenger catamaran expedition into the nutrient-rich waters where Chatham Strait meets Icy Strait — one of Alaska's greatest humpback whale feeding grounds. Intimate, expert-led, and almost guaranteed to deliver.
Combine a breathtaking floatplane overflight of Glacier Bay's tidewater glaciers with a private guided sea-kayak paddle among floating ice — the definitive Alaska wilderness double-act, reachable from Chatham Strait ports.
Step inside the living culture of the Huna Tlingit at their ancestral homeland of Hoonah — the largest Tlingit village in Alaska — for an intimate clan house ceremony, storytelling, and hands-on art with master carvers.
Reach pristine, fly-in salmon and steelhead rivers draining into Chatham Strait that are accessible only by floatplane — the ultimate Alaska sport-fishing privilege for the discerning angler seeking total solitude.
Venture deep into the Tongass National Forest — the largest temperate rainforest on Earth — with an expert naturalist guide who knows where brown bears fish, wolves travel, and ancient moss-draped Sitka spruce grow to cathedral scale.
