Alaska's Inside Passage
Embark on an unforgettable expedition through the wild beauty of Southeast Alaska, where towering glaciers, forested islands, and abundant wildlife set the stage for discovery. Sailing aboard the intimate National Geographic Quest, this journey ventures deep into remote waterways inaccessible to larger vessels, offering a truly immersive experience. Each day brings opportunities to explore–kayak among icebergs, hike through the lush Tongass National Forest, or cruise by Zodiac for up-close encounters with whales, sea lions, and bears. A highlight is a full day in Glacier Bay National Park, where massive tidewater glaciers calve dramatically into icy waters. Along the way, visit charming coastal communities like Petersburg and gain insight from expert naturalists who bring the region’s ecology and culture to life. Active, flexible, and deeply engaging, this voyage is ideal for travelers seeking authentic adventure in one of North America’s last great wildernesses.
