The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Board an intimate Zodiac or rigid-hull inflatable and push deep into Disenchantment Bay, pulling within metres of the world's largest tidewater glacier face. Watch six-storey seracs thunder into the sea while your naturalist guide explains the geology in real time.
A sleek, heated catamaran carries no more than 22 guests deep into Disenchantment Bay for front-row seats to glacier calving, seals, and humpback whales feeding in the nutrient-rich meltwater. A marine biologist narrates every moment.
Charter the entire vessel with Glacier Wind Charters for an exclusive, captain-guided safari into the heart of Yakutat Bay — your pace, your itinerary, and a wildly personal encounter with North America's most active tidewater glacier.
Lift off from Yakutat Bay in a private floatplane and trace the 76-mile length of Hubbard Glacier from the air — the only vantage point that reveals its true scale, its crevasse fields, and the vast Wrangell–St. Elias icefield feeding it.
Step onto the Alaskan wilderness with a certified mountain guide and trek through Wrangell–St. Elias National Park to the moraines and rubble fields at the edge of Hubbard's outwash plain — North America's largest national park, wild and rarely visited.
Slip a sea kayak into the glacier-chilled waters of Disenchantment Bay and paddle through drifting brash ice toward the calving face — a human-powered, almost meditative encounter with one of the planet's last great tidewater glaciers.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
