Southeast Alaska—
The Wild North
An 8-Day or 9-Day Adventure
The ideal way to discover Southeast Alaska's treasures is with a small group of like-minded travelers on a private vessel. Hiking to remote hot springs, spotting grizzlies on shore and kayaking in isolated bays, you and up to 9 fellow travelers discover Alaska's remarkable beauty every day.
We offer The Wild North, cruising between Sitka and Juneau (or reverse) on two yachts for your choosing: the 157-foot, 24-passenger Mist Cove and the 96-foot, 10-passenger Alaskan Song.
The yachts offer a dining lounge with expansive views, a bar and plenty of deck space for enjoying a warm beverage or snapping shots of the stunning surroundings. Each stateroom features private en-suite facilities. While on board, you'll rise to the cry of eagles, sample fine vintages and dine on exquisite meals of fresh seafood you caught that day.
The yachts set a new itinerary for each adventure. We may navigate among house-sized icebergs through the deep Tracy Arm Fjord to their source, the massive Sawyer Glacier, scanning the hillsides for mountain goats nimbly cavorting on impossible slopes. Or we may cruise the far west coast of Chichagof Island, spying abundant otters and puffins. All routes are delightful.
