Alaska Adventure Savings on UnCruise
With over 20 years of exploring Alaska, nobody knows it better. Our captains and crew navigate its waterways and inlets as easily as walking the halls of their own vessel—and are always on the lookout. Spot a bear foraging for salmon on the shore and the captain swings back around so you can get a better look. There’s nowhere better to be than right here.

ITINERARY
DAY 1 Juneau – Embarkation
Arriving in Juneau, you will be transferred from the airport to our hospitality area. Upon boarding, your crew greets you
with champagne and smiles. Set sail for a week of scenic channels and secluded wilderness. (D)
DAY 2 Tracy Arm
Take an early peek outside. Fjord cliffs reach skyward. Floating ice. And deep u-shaped valleys. There’s no abracadabra
here. Mother Nature’s magic is real. Cruise past harbor seals and their pups lounging on chunks of ice. Tracy Arm
delivers with the cotton candy blue Twin Sawyer glaciers of its furthest reaches. Tides permitting, your skiff driver
knows the ropes and guides you along. It’s a mashup of towering walls, temperamental currents, and the Coastal
Mountains. So many waterfalls. Mountain goats show off fancy foot work on the cliffs. Look for them. (BLD)
DAY 3 Frederick Sound
Humpbacks beeline it here each season to feed on krill, zooplankton, and herring. Watch for whales feasting in these
abundant glacial waters. Hang out and enjoy the show. Cruise past Five Fingers Lighthouse, Alaska’s oldest light station
and The Brothers Islands, where sea lions nap on rocky nobs. Tonight, toast to a whale of day in Alaska. (BLD)
DAY 4 Icy Strait
Before you do anything, look out the window. From kelp-lined channels to hemlock and spruce forests, every inch of
this far northwest corner is worth exploring. And today’s adventures promise to be as big as the water is deep! Seals
and sea lions haul out on rocky outcroppings, resting before they disappear in the water to search for food. If the tides
are right, head out in the skiff with one of your guides for a closer peek along the rugged shore, or perhaps, make it all
the way to George Island. Whatever you do—wilderness trekking, skiffing, or paddling—your expedition team guides
the way. (BLD)
DAY 5 Glacier Bay National Park
This crown jewel of America’s national parks 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. You’re going the furthest and
exploring parts that 99% of visitors never go to. And you have two days to do it. Get started! Taylor Bay sea stacks and
rocky shores make for good adventure. Or hike the outwash field of glaciers winding down the Fairweather Mountain Range.
The cool breeze off the nearby snow and icefields is energizing. If you motor over to Dundas Bay, keep your eye out for bears,
humpbacks, and if you’re lucky, a wolf sighting. Kayak the bay. Bushwhack into the forest. Discover Glacier Bay outback. (BLD)
DAY 6 Glacier Bay National Park
Your camera’s memory card needs plenty of room. South Marble Island is abuzz with activity. Rare sea birds, black
oystercatchers, and orange-beaked tufted puffins can’t be missed. A colony of raucous sea lions adds to the hubbub.
They add a distinct aroma to the air, too. Tucking into silent Tidal Inlet—the stomping grounds for bears, wolves,
mountain goats, eagles—the backdrop is spectacular. At the end of the western-most arm of the bay sits Margerie and
Grand Pacific Glaciers. And possible views of glacial calving. Take it all in on deck. (BLD)
DAY 7 Chatham Strait
Find a perch on the bridge with your captain, or with your guides on the bow, and watch for whales and other creatures
before tucking into Port Frederick or another inlet in the Tongass National Forest. Any spot’s a good one to pull over
and stretch your legs. Hike, paddle, or skiff your way through this remote corner with bears on the shoreline, seals
bobbing on the surface, and welcoming boughs of moss in the trees. It’s all yours to explore. Back on board, there’s a
treat in store--the Farewell Dinner and some special memories from your crew. (BLD)
DAY 8 Juneau – Disembarkation
Linger over breakfast this morning cruising into Juneau. Wish your crew
and new friends goodbye. Then it’s off to the airport or begin your
UnCruise hotel stay or land tour. (B)
