ALASKA CRUISES

Extraordinary Destinations: Alaska is home to some of the finest small-town ports you’ll find on board Seabourn.  Explore the fjords and mountains of Sitka, full of rich history and natural treasures.  Witness the petroglyphs and native history of Wrangell, deep within the Inside Passage.  Break out your walking shoes for the town of Ketchikan, whose charming main street is home to delightful shops and local activities, as well as some truly splendid hiking trails. Whether you observe Alaska from on or off the ship, you’ll make memories to last a lifetime in this incredible state.

A World-Class Expedition Team: Learn and expand your appreciation for the witnessed world by engaging with our on-board team of experts, who will hold Seabourn Conversations on topics ranging from marine biology, ornithology, geology, history, and photography.  Listen to our naturalist experts as they wax poetic on the local bears, whales, and other endemic wildlife to Alaska and British Columbia, Canada. Be sure to keep an eye out for a sighting; you never know when nature will surprise you.

Ventures by Seabourn™: Want to get out and explore the might of Alaska in a more adventurous way?  Ventures by Seabourn allow guests to kayak, ride in our Zodiacs, or go on group hikes to see these iconic destinations up close and personal. You can kayak through fjords, circumnavigate the Inian Islands, and witness the Holgate Glacier via Zodiac, or take priceless pictures in our photography hikes at Wrangell.

Alaska remains one of the most extreme and ecologically rich places on the planet, home to some of the largest birds, bears, and aquatic life to be found anywhere.  The skies are filled with the calls of the marvelous Bald Eagle, who can be frequently spotted soaring high overhead while the ship glides noiselessly through these timeless fjords.  The water parts for another dweller, as whales call this passage home, just as much as the local schools of salmon and countless other marine species. The local culture and small-town charm are sure to delight, allowing you to step through the curtain and experience life the way it has been lived for generations.  The wonders of the old world exist in perpetuity here, taking the form of enormous spans of old growth forest, with towering evergreens and moss-covered earth.  Perhaps the frozen immensity of glaciers will capture the eye, housing secrets and nestled in the carved fjords, demonstrating the raw power of Mother Nature.
