Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Saturday - May 23, 2026

Vancouver, Canada

Set sail from Vancouver. Your adventure starts in Vancouver. A bustling and beautiful seaport city set against steep mountains. Vancouver's various neighborhoods buzz with world-class farm-to-table cuisine. Wander Gastown, Vancouver's Victorian quarter, or walk around beautiful Stanley Park, which offers a view of the city and a glimpse of the stunning nature you'll see on the voyage. Why not arrive early and take advantage of everything Vancouver has to offer. Your expedition ship MS Roald Amundsen awaits you at the pier. Settle in and take your time to get to know the ship before listening to the safety briefing.

Day 2 - Sunday - May 24, 2026

Cruising Queen Charlotte Sound, Canada

Look out for marine wildlife as we cruise 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. We'll be sailing outside of the protected fjords into open waters, up Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait. This is a day at sea, and our passage is somewhat protected from the open ocean by the island of Haida Gwaii. As we sail, look out for wildlife including humpback whales, orcas, fin whales, minke whales, and Pacific white-sided dolphins.

Day 3 - Monday - May 25, 2026

Misty Fjord, Alaska, United States

Revel in a wilderness where wildlife thrives. Part of the Tongass National Forest, Misty Fjords is a pristine wilderness of evergreen trees, roaring waterfalls, and snowcapped peaks. The revered naturalist John Muir described the area as one of the most beautiful places he'd ever seen. Weather permitting, we'll join the Expedition Team to tour Misty Fjords in our small expedition boats, or we'll explore in a kayak. Misty Fjords is rich in wildlife. As we explore, scan the shores and forests for black and brown bears, as well as moose. These waters are home to Pacific salmon, otters, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, orcas, and Dall's porpoises. Skyward, you might spot herons and bald eagles.

Day 4 - Tuesday - May 26, 2026

Klawock, United States

Today we visit Klawock, which is beautifully situated on the western shore of Prince of Wales Island. The small town has a population of around 700 and is known for its array of totem poles. A center for Lingit culture, the island's original name was "Taan", meaning sea lion. At the Totem Park you'll see 21 exquisitely carved examples, some of them replicas of the originals that stood in the winter village of Tuxecan.

Day 5 - Wednesday - May 27, 2026

Frederick Sound, United States

Day 6 - Thursday - May 28, 2026

Cruising Chatham Strait, United States

Icy Strait Point, United States

Start your day looking out for whales in the pristine waters of Frederick Sound. The next two days are exploration days, so the captain and Expedition Team will use their expertise to choose the best destination. We might go ashore for a nature landing, take to the water in our expedition boats, and investigate the secluded coves and forested shorelines of the 150-mile-long Chatham Strait, or sail into Icy Strait, where opportunities for kayaking may present themselves if the conditions are right. Wherever we explore, keep a lookout for wildlife as bald eagles, bears, and humpback whales that can be spotted in this region. As ever, we will gauge the weather conditions and wildlife spotting opportunities to decide upon the best location.

Day 7 - Friday - May 29, 2026

Icy Bay, United States

Spot wildlife in these glacier-fed waters. Today is an exploration day in Icy Bay. Three glaciers - Guyot, Yahtse, and Tyndall - each feed ice into the bay's waters to give it its name. If conditions allow, you'll explore in the small expedition boats or by kayak, immersing you in the remarkable beauty of this icy landscape. From Icy Bay, you can admire striking, jagged Mt. Saint Elias. Known for its steep vertical relief, it is the second tallest peak in the US and third-tallest in the US and Canada at over 18,000 feet. In the Gulf of Alaska, we'll scout for humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, and harbor seals which are often seen in these waters.

Day 8 - Saturday - May 30, 2026

Valdez, USA

Today, you'll see a region that was in the news for all the wrong reasons when the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in 1989, but which today has made a remarkable recovery. After significant clean-up efforts, the coastline has largely recovered - a testament to what can be done to heal damaged ecosystems. On a visit to the Valdez Museum, you'll see exhibits of Native Alaskan art and culture, as well as artifacts from the Gold Rush era, and you'll learn about the history of Alaska's Bush Pilots. As we travel around this region, look out for wildlife such as beavers, moose, and bears.

Day 9 - Sunday - May 31, 2026

Prince William Sound, Alaska, United States

Get ready to experience nature's raw power. Today is a day all about glaciers. Prince William Sound is home to 150 of these amazing rivers of ice, including 17 incredible tidewater glaciers. Your captain will choose the best location for the day based on the conditions. We'll get as close to the glaciers as we safely can, taking our small expedition boats into the fjord or even exploring by kayak if conditions permit. From the water, you might catch sight of humpback whales, bald eagles, otters, and harbor seals, all of which inhabit this icy wilderness.

Day 10 - Monday - Jun 1, 2026

Whittier, United States

Cruise Ends

Bus Travel

Anchorage, United States

Your expedition cruise ends in Whittier, a small, picturesque fishing town of just a few hundred residents, nestled between towering mountains and the deep blue waters of Prince William Sound. Surrounded by dramatic glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and lush temperate rainforests, it serves as a gateway to the sound - a haven for kayakers, photographers, and adventurers drawn to its pristine fjords and abundant wildlife. From here you will be transferred to the airport in Anchorage. To get the most out of your time here, consider joining a post-voyage option.
