Alaska's Inside Passage
August 24 – 31, 2012
Starting from: $4,995
Experience the wild beauty of Alaska from the comfort of the deluxe 36-passenger Safari Explorer. The forces of nature are on full display in the Inside Passage – mountains eroded by the crushing force of massive glaciers, icebergs plunging into cold aquamarine seas, land and marine animals struggling to feed and raise young during the short arctic summer. This exclusive small ship program offers unparalleled access to quiet coves, and the flexibility to linger while sea lions battle on rocky shores, or bears scavenge the beaches at low tide. One of the highlights of this program is two days in Glacier Bay, allowing ample time to hike scenic trails or observe the abundant wildlife while kayaking or relaxing on deck. During this program you will also be able to enjoy lectures and field expeditions with talented and enthusiastic naturalists, as well as excursions and trail hikes led by shipboard guides and park rangers.
