18-day expedition cruise from Vancouver to Alaska, taking in spectacular scenery, diverse cultures, and Neolithic history
![](http://spottech.site/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Wild Alaska
Discover the pristine coastal wilderness in Misty Fjords National Monument and visit remote islands on this extraordinary expedition cruise. Keep an eye out for black and brown bears on famous Kodiak Island and Katmai National Park. Along the way, scout for whales, fur seals, and rare seabirds.
Fascinating heritage
Encounter Indigenous Tlingit and Aleut cultures, hunt for petroglyphs in Wrangell, and follow in the footsteps of gold prospectors and explorers. Visit the picturesque ghost town of Unga and uncover ancient stories on mossy totem poles at Chief Shakes Tribal House.
Your expedition begins
Further explore Vancouver and launch your adventure.
Your expedition cruise starts in Vancouver, a bustling and beautiful seaport set among steep mountains.
Vancouver’s various neighborhoods buzz with world-class, farm-to-table cuisine. Don’t miss Gastown, Vancouver’s Victorian neighborhood. Here you’ll find the Vancouver Lookout, standing at an altitude of 553 feet. It offers a perfect panoramic view over the city.
MS Roald Amundsen awaits you at the pier. Settle in and take your time to get to know the ship. Locate the Science Center, gym, and restaurants.
If you have time, we recommend arriving a few days early to take a luxury train trip on the famous Rocky Mountaineer through the beautiful landscape of the Rockies with our special optional Pre-Program. What better way to begin your adventure?
Inside Passage
See sublime scenery as we sail the Inside Passage.
The Inside Passage coastal route takes us through the great North American Pacific Fjordland, a protected stretch of water over 930 miles long. Unlike other cruises that pass through at night, you’ll be able to view the sublime scenery in all its glory during the day.
Our smaller expedition ship allows us to reach areas that larger vessels can’t, meaning that you can explore the breathtaking scenery of lesser-traveled channels. Keep your cameras and binoculars close at hand to spot dolphins, porpoises, orcas, and humpback whales.
Unspoiled Misty Fjords
Discover a wilderness where wildlife thrives.
Misty Fjords is part of the Tongass National Forest. It is a pristine wilderness of evergreens, waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks. The revered naturalist writer John Muir described the area as one of the most beautiful places he’d ever seen.
Weather permitting, join the Expedition Team to tour Misty Fjords in our small boats (RIBs) or kayaks.
Misty Fjords is rich in wildlife. Scan for mountain goats, bears, and moose as you explore. The waters are home to Pacific salmon, otters, sea lions, harbor seals, orcas, and Dall’s porpoises. Skywards, you might spot herons and bald eagles.
Wrangell’s petroglyphs
Visit one of Alaska’s oldest harbor towns
We will continue cruising the Alaskan islands to Wrangell. Only a mile out of town, the incredible Petroglyph Beach is where you can see ancient rock carvings among the sand.
Visit the local museum to learn more about Wrangell’s fascinating past. Now part of the United States, it was once governed by Britain, Russia, and the Tlingit people. Cross to Shakes Island, where the Chief Shakes Tribal House and totem poles tell the story of the Indigenous Tlingit people.
Hikers will enjoy the nature trails, surrounded by alluring scenery at the mouth of Stikine River, along with the foot of Mount Dewey, sitting at the edge of the rainforest.
Blended cultures of Sitka
Take in Sitka’s views and a unique mix of cultures.
Surrounded by Tongass National Forest, Sitka is only accessible by sea or air. Get out on deck for stunning views of the Sisters Mountains and Mount Edgecumbe Volcano.
Discover Sitka’s fascinating history with our Expedition Team. Inhabited by the Tlingit people for 10,000 years, it was occupied by Russia in 1804 before being sold to the US after the Crimean War. Today, Sitka blends all three cultures.
Visit the Russian Orthodox cathedral and the Russian Bishop’s House. Admire ornate Haida and Tlingit totem poles at Sitka National Historical Park—it’s a real treat. You can also enjoy a walking trail through the forest to the ocean.
The glaciers of Icy Bay
Wildlife watching in glacier-fed waters
Today, experience a fantastic expedition day in Icy Bay. Three glaciers – Guyot, Yahtse, and Tyndall – regularly calve into the bay. If conditions allow, explore it in our small boats (RIBs) or by kayak, immersing you in the area’s remarkable beauty.
Wildlife abounds in the Gulf of Alaska, offering unrivaled photography opportunities. In these waters, you can often see humpback whales, orcas, Steller sea lions, sea otters, and harbor seals loafing on floating chunks of ice.
Across the Gulf of Alaska
A day of wellness and birdwatching at sea
Your cruise continues across the Gulf of Alaska. It’s the ideal time to enjoy onboard facilities such as the infinity pool, hot tubs, and sauna. Go for a run, hit the gym, or enjoy a massage in the spa.
In the Science Center, join the Expedition Team for lectures about the region’s wildlife, geology, glaciology, history, and culture.
Relax in the Explorer Lounge & Bar and share a drink with your fellow guests, or just sit back and enjoy the view. See if you can spot all three species of North Pacific albatross. The Laysan and black-footed albatross are often sighted, but the short-tailed albatross is harder to spot.
Kodiak’s Brown Bears
Explore the home of the Alutiiq people.
Kodiak Island got its nickname, the ‘Emerald Isle,’ due to its spruce forests and grasslands. It’s the second-largest island in the US, meaning there’s plenty to see.
Discover the island’s rich Indigenous heritage at the Alutiiq Museum, or visit the 1808 Kodiak History Museum, housed in the oldest-standing building in the state. You can also visit Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park, with its strategic World War II naval fort and bunkers from 1939.
The island’s most famous inhabitants are Kodiak brown bears. Around 3,500 of them live in the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, which covers two-thirds of the island.
Brown bears in Katmai
Brown bear spotting in Katmai National Park
Your adventure continues in the four million acre Katmai National Park, which has over a dozen active volcanoes. Katmai is home to more than 2,000 protected brown bears, the largest concentration in the world.
Accompanied by an experienced bear guard, we’ll safely scout for bears from the deck or in our small boats (RIBs). They might be foraging for berries, digging for clams, or catching fish in the stream.
Depending on conditions, we might visit Geographic Harbor, Kinak Bay, or Kukak Bay. Keep your eyes open for sea otters, seabirds, and humpback whales.
Tiny Chignik
Sample local life in a small Alaskan fishing town.
Chignik is perched on the southern coast of the Unalaska Peninsula and is one of Alaska’s most beautiful small settlements.
Venture ashore to explore the village, where the local fishing community will gladly receive you. Spawning salmon fill Chignik’s rivers throughout the summer months and you may be lucky enough to see the leaping fish as they make their way upstream.
Keep your eyes on the skies, as Chignik’s sheltered conditions and plentiful fish support an abundant bald eagle population. Watch for bear tracks, as these animals can be frequently seen close to the settlement.
The ghost town of Unga
Experience Unga, a deserted Alaskan town
Wild and deserted, Unga Village is an abandoned yet picturesque settlement on the southern end of Unga Island.
It was settled by Aleuts in 1833 but was abandoned in 1969, as subsistence fishing proved insufficient to support living here. Today, the few wooden buildings that remain are the only evidence that people once lived here.
A carpet of pink lousewort, fireweed, and other wildflowers surround the abandoned shacks as nature has gradually taken over. Experience the eerie beauty of this place during a nature landing with our small boats (RIBs).
Discover Dutch Harbor
Soak up history and nature in this fishing hub.
With a volcano as its backdrop, America’s largest fishing port – Dutch Harbor – is a fascinating place to visit. Learn about the local Indigenous Unungan people at the Museum of the Aleutians. Visit the Russian Orthodox Cathedral or tour the World War II museum commemorating the battle that took place here in 1942.
Scout for bald eagles and puffins in the skies. Foxes, lemmings, and wild horses thrive on land and whales, sea lions, and porpoises in the waters. Dutch Harbor is where the reality television series The Deadliest Catch was filmed, following crab fishermen at work under extreme conditions.
Learning and Leisure
Relax and reflect as we cruise along the coast.
Part of being on an expedition cruise is taking time to connect with the sights and sounds of the world around you. A day at sea lets you do just that. Sit back and take in the panoramic views from our Explorer Lounge & Bar, from the infinity pool, or from the outdoor hot tubs.
Keep scanning the seas and skies for puffins, auklets, and murrelets, especially closer to the coast. If you’re lucky, you might glimpse the red-legged kittiwake, only found in this part of the world.
Learn more about the region’s geography, climate, and birdlife from the Expedition Team in the Science Center.
Aleut life in St. Paul
Culture and wildlife on the largest Pribilof Island
The windswept island of St. Paul is home to the largest Aleut community in the US, numbering around 400. You can visit the historical remains of barabaras here, traditional dwellings built half-underground to protect against the sea winds.
St. Paul is also designated an Important Bird Area, and around 300 species of migrating birds use it as a resting point. Scan for horned and tufted puffins, the Pribilof sandpiper, and the rare red-legged kittiwake.
Wild St. Matthew
Experience this wild, remote, and isolated island.
Part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and 200 miles from the nearest village, St. Matthew Island is wild, remote, and isolated. You’ll see traces of abandoned buildings between black-sand beaches and wildflower-dotted tundra. A few hardy souls have tried – and failed – to make a home here.
Today, the only inhabitants are birds, including thousands of puffins, murres, and cormorants. On our nature landing, if you’re lucky you’ll catch sight of the rare McKay’s Bunting, which breeds almost exclusively here. Listen for the sound of the singing vole, named after its unusual warning cry.
Crossing the Bering Sea
Cross the line where tomorrow meets today.
As we cruise the Bering Sea, you’ll have Russia on one side and the United States on the other. This is the international date line, where ‘tomorrow’ rests to your right and ‘today’ to the left.
Natural wonders abound here, so keep an eye out for humpback whales and seabirds wheeling through the skies.
This is your last full sea day, so relax and enjoy your time on board. The Expedition Team will recap the highlights of your Alaskan adventure, and you can continue your journey of discovery in the Science Center.
No place like Nome
Learn about Nome’s golden past.
Prospectors first came to Nome in 1898 and people still hunt for gold here today. You’ll see evidence of the Gold Rush era all around, including abandoned dredges, turn-of-the-century steam engines and old railroad tracks, lending the town a unique atmosphere.
Nome was also the end point of three of Roald Amundsen’s great polar expeditions, including an attempt by air to reach the North Pole in 1926.
Naturally, Nome is a fitting place to bid farewell to our own MS Roald Amundsen before flying back to Vancouver, where you will enjoy an overnight stay.
Back to Vancouver
See more of Vancouver or extend your adventure
Your expedition cruise ends in Vancouver, giving you another chance to explore this picturesque metropolis. Take in the café culture of Granville Island or head to Richmond’s famous multicultural night market for tasty treats from the food stalls.
There are plenty of galleries, museums, events, exhibitions, and shows to visit here. If you’d like to take it easy, head for the sands of Kitsilano Beach.
You can also extend your adventure with our optional Post-Program to the nearby mountain resort of Whistler. We’ll stop at Shannon Falls and ride on the Sea to Sky Gondola, which takes you on a panoramic ride almost 3,000 feet above sea level.

Round Trip Alaska Cruises from Vancouver
Ringed by water and bordered mountains, the western Canadian city of Vancouver is somehow both cosmopolitan and outdoorsy. The urban gem has also become a renowned filming location, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North." It makes an enjoyable stepping off point for cruises bound for Alaska.
The cruise terminal within the Canada Place event center is the roundtrip Vancouver-to-Alaska homeport for Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Holland America Line. Located on the edge of downtown Vancouver, the beautifully designed multipurpose facility is known for its distinctive white sail rooftop.
Canada Place is far more than a transit hub. It's a gathering place as well, with walking trails, weekly events, and cultural exhibits drawing both visitors and locals. In these ways, it's quite representative of Vancouver as a whole. The busy, vibrant city has plenty of attractions to fill a few days pre- or post-cruise. And for those who can only spend a few hours between cruise and airport, Gastown, a lively historical neighborhood with trendy shops and eateries, and the beautiful Stanley Park, are each within a 20-minute walk of the terminal.
Roundtrip Alaska cruises depart Vancouver Harbor in late afternoon, affording passengers spectacular city skyline views as they sail underneath Lions Gate Bridge and into the Strait of Georgia. The first full day at sea is spent cruising among splendid fjords within the Inside Passage. Cruise lines typically take shore days in Ketchikan, Juneau, and either the historical goldrush town of Skagway or the quieter Icy Strait. In between ports of call, most ships spend a full day glacier viewing in places like Disenchantment Bay, Glacier Bay, or Tracy Arm. Cruisers return to Vancouver via Queen Charlotte Sound and Johnstone Strait.
Special services for cruise passengers include short-term baggage storage. There are many options for ground transportation, ranging from rental cars (there are in-terminal kiosks) to convenient airport and hotel transfers, taxis, and charters. Vancouver also has an affordable public transportation network. Direct rapid transit to the airport is provided by the SkyTrain Canada Line.

Top Luxury Alaska Cruises
![cruise to alaska from vancouver bc Veranda of Aquamarine Suite on Crystal cruise ship.](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/0000018e-1496-d5b1-af8f-769726c00001/aquamarine-suite-veranda-classic-room-crystal.jpg?update-time=1709742368119&size=responsive640)

Cruising to Alaska on a small luxury ship affords a very different experience than sailing through The Great Land on a larger vessel. On a smaller luxury ship, you'll enjoy the expected perks like fewer passengers and more personalized service – but you'll also physically get closer to the boundless wilderness, abundant wildlife, icy blue glaciers and majestic snow-capped mountains that you've waited a lifetime to see.
While the fares to sail on such vessels are quite a bit higher than those of larger cruise providers, the all-inclusive (or mostly all-inclusive) prices typically include all-suite accommodations with balconies, all meals, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, 24-hour room service, Wi-Fi access, gratuities, welcome bottles of sparkling wine, pillow selection, some shore excursions and butler service. Best of all, you won't feel like you're being nickel-and-dimed while on board. As a special touch, the attentive crew members may even learn your name and memorize your preferred pre-dinner cocktail.
Unlike many mainstream lines, most luxury Alaska cruises do not offer pre- and post-cruise tours to extend your adventure. However, you can plan these experiences on your own through third-party providers.
Alaska Tour & Travel has pre-cruise packages that include visits to Denali National Park & Preserve and the small, quirky Alaska towns of Homer and Talkeetna. You can also see a different side of Alaska via a train ride on the Alaska Railroad, take a national parks tour that includes Kenai Fjords National Park or head northbound to Fairbanks , one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights (if you visit during aurora season, from late August to late April). In addition, the company can plan a self-drive tour from Anchorage to Seward, which includes a stay at a wilderness lodge, helicopter flightseeing over Knik Glacier and guided tours in the parks.
The following luxury cruise lines will ensure you make the most of your voyage in Alaska – one of the most magical destinations on Earth.

Silversea Cruises
![cruise to alaska from vancouver bc Pool deck on the Silversea Nova.](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/0000018e-1497-d5b1-af8f-76971d160001/nova-pool-deck-silversea-cruises.jpg?update-time=1709742431119&size=responsiveFlow640)
Courtesy of Silversea Cruises
Silversea Cruises' small luxury ships are designed for adventurers interested in visiting a mix of Alaska's top ports and more rugged, off-the-beaten-track locales. Extended itineraries offer stops in less-visited destinations like the towns of Haines and Wrangell. On board, guests can expect a personalized experience that includes luxurious ocean-view suites with butler service, multiple gourmet dining options, complimentary alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, and attentive service with one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the industry.
Base fares for Silversea's 2024 and 2025 Alaska itineraries start at $3,250 per person. If you upgrade to Silversea 's door-to-door fare (which starts at $5,200 per person), you'll receive private chauffeur service from your home to the airport (and back home upon your return) and round-trip flights, with business class upgrades in some destinations.
Silversea also offers immersive pre- and post-cruise land experiences, departing from Seward, Alaska. Highlights include sightseeing flights over Denali National Park & Preserve or into bear country to see Alaska's magnificent grizzly bears. In Vancouver, travelers can take a flightseeing transfer to Victoria to tour the 55-acre Butchart Gardens or board the Rocky Mountaineer for a two-day train ride through the Canadian Rockies.
Silversea's Alaska itineraries extend from May to September, with voyages ranging between seven and 16 days. The line's newest and largest vessel, the 728-passenger Silver Nova , sails its inaugural Alaska season in 2024 along with two smaller ships, Silver Muse (596 guests) and Silver Shadow (392 guests). There are 35 Alaska voyages available in 2024. In 2025, luxury cruisers can hop aboard one of 45 scheduled voyages on either Silver Nova or the 596-guest Silver Moon .
For a seven-day itinerary, consider a sailing from Seward, Alaska, to Vancouver, British Columbia. This voyage cruises the Hubbard Glacier and the Inside Passage and stops in the Alaska towns of Juneau, Skagway, Sitka and Ketchikan. Complimentary excursions in Ketchikan include a tour of Saxman Native Village; a visit to Bonfire Bay Oyster Farm, featuring a sea-to-table oyster tasting; the Alaskan Cultural, Culinary & Lumberjack show; the Alaskan Lodge Adventure & Seafeast and a day as a fisherman aboard the Aleutian Ballard, as seen on Discovery Channel's "The Deadliest Catch." You can also opt for a Selected Shore Excursion (for an additional cost), such as mountain biking or a private fishing trip.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises
![cruise to alaska from vancouver bc Bed in the Concierge Suite on the Regent Seven Seas Explorer.](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/0000018e-1498-de0e-af9e-16fa57910000/explorer-concierge-suite-regent-seven-seas-cruises.jpg?update-time=1709742511092&size=responsiveFlow640)
Courtesy of Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Regent Seven Seas Cruises' elegant Seven Seas Explorer sails the line's Alaska itineraries in 2024 and 2025. The lavish 746-guest ship was coined "The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built" when it debuted in 2016; among its impressive features are the 3,875-square-foot Regent Suite and a high-end collection of art displayed throughout the ship, including works by Pablo Picasso.
Alaska voyages with Regent in 2024 and 2025 start at $4,799 per person. Upgraded 2-for-1 all-inclusive fares (starting at $5,499 per person) cover elegant all-balcony suite accommodations; round-trip airfare (business class on international flights); a one-night pre-cruise hotel package; free two- or three-night land programs; free unlimited shore excursions; free unlimited beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic); complimentary specialty dining; and prepaid gratuities. You'll also receive complimentary airport transfers, unlimited Wi-Fi access and valet laundry service.

Meanwhile, Penthouse Suites (and higher) include a private butler who can book excursions, make dinner and spa reservations, unpack your luggage, arrange for a private cocktail soiree in your suite and indulge any other special requests.
Between May and September 2024, Regent sails 22 Alaska voyages. There are 16 Alaska sailings scheduled for the same period in 2025. Itineraries range from seven to 14 nights. For plenty of scenic cruising days, consider a round-trip itinerary from Vancouver departing May 28, 2025. The cruise includes five relaxing days at sea, where you'll enjoy scenic cruising through the Inside Passage (twice), Hubbard Glacier (twice) and Endicott Arm Fjord. Ports of call in Alaska include Wrangell, Juneau , Skagway, Sitka, Seward, Icy Strait (Hoonah) and Ketchikan. You'll also have a full day in Victoria, British Columbia, before returning to Vancouver.
While in Wrangell, consider the Tongass Botanical Forest Walk excursion. Tongass National Forest is the largest national forest in the U.S., with towering old-growth trees and unique flora, fauna and ecosystems. While in the temperate rainforest with your naturalist guide, look for local wildlife like Sitka black-tailed deer, porcupines and birds of prey. Other complimentary excursions at this stop include a round of golf at Muskeg Meadows Golf Course; a canoe trip through Wrangell harbor and nearby islands, and a heritage tour about Tlingit culture and the history of the town.

Recently relaunched Crystal offers just seven voyages in Alaska aboard Crystal Serenity in July and August 2024. The 740-guest luxury vessel was refurbished in 2023 and features the line's signature top-notch service, elegant interiors and suites, and personal butler service in every room category.
Other perks and amenities include plush bathrobes and Sicily's Ortigia bath products; an impressive passenger-to-crew ratio; prepaid gratuities; complimentary beverages; and outstanding cuisine, including Umi Uma (an exclusive Nobu restaurant at sea, available only on Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony ).

Cruisers also have their selection of unique shore experiences curated by Crystal's parent company A&K Travel Group, such as a ride on the world's largest zip line in Hoonah (Icy Strait Point); dog sledding and glacier flightseeing in Skagway; fishing and wilderness dining in Ketchikan and the Wildlife Quest and Fin Island Lodge experience in Sitka, boasting a feast of Alaska king crab and wild salmon.
Crystal offers seven- and eight-night round-trip voyages from Vancouver , as well as one-way cruises from Vancouver or Seward, Alaska.

As such, the cruise will include an exclusive gala dinner and other unique experiences.
