Alaska's Glaciers and the Inside Passage
With Steven David
July 9-16, 2016
From $3,995 plus air
Join this one-of-a-kind, exploration‑style, seven-night cruise through the Inside Passage from Juneau, Alaska, to Vancouver, British Columbia, during the long days of summer. The exclusively chartered Five-Star small ship m.s. Le Soléal, specially designed to navigate isolated inlets and coves inaccessible to larger vessels, brings you up close to the most spectacular scenery of southeastern Alaska and Canada and offers you a superior viewing experience. From sheltered observation decks, during naturalist-led Zodiac excursions and from the comfort of ocean-view Suites and Staterooms, most with a private balcony, see Arctic-blue glaciers, rarely observed marine life, towering mountains, untouched coastlines and abundant wildlife. Call at the historic and inviting fishing towns of Sitka, Petersburg and Ketchikan, where you will step back into the gold rush era and discover the living heritage of the Tlingit people, an indigenous tribe of the Pacific Northwest coast. An onboard team of naturalists provides a series of lectures about the local wildlife and landscapes. Fairbanks and Denali National Park Pre-Cruise Option and Vancouver and Vancouver Island Post-Cruise Option.
