Explore Alaska’s Inside Passage and the Northern Pacific coast as never before.
Expedition

Onshore
Our shore excursions are designed to deliver a deeper, more insightful experience of the peoples of Alaska and the Northern Pacific coast — their culture, history and traditions — and, as always, nature at its most sublime.
DetailsOnshore

Join a team of Cal Poly scientists exploring unspoiled Alaskan coasts — home to sea lions, humpback whales and hundreds of species of birds. Let the Tlingit people tell you stories of clan and kinship through their towering totem poles wrought of cedar.
onshore highlights

Ketchikan
Where orcas frolic and the wind whistles through the fjords.

Sitka
Where our engines run silent as the predators.

Wrangell Island
Where the people are born of the tides and their art hides in the waves.

Frederick Sound
Where Tlingit totems stand silent sentry.

Dining
Our chefs take their award-winning inspiration from all that Alaska and the North Pacific coast have to offer the discerning diner — from the renowned wines of Williamette Valley to the culinary traditions of the Tlingit to the legacy of Norwegian immigrants to seafood so fresh it practically swims off your plate.
DetailsDining

Start the day right Petersburg-Alaska style with a hearty breakfast of lingonberry pannenkakan (Norwegian pancakes). Savor the delicate and nutty nuance of Dungeness Crab pulled fresh from the pristine waters off Ketchikan. Study at the gifted feet of the Dancing Chefs of Cabo San Lucas and learn seven different authentic salsa recipes — and some spicy salsa ballroom moves as well. Let cuisine be your mouth-watering and mind-expanding mind-expanding gateway to the vibrant cultures of the wonderful people you’ll meet on your voyage.
