This exclusive 7-day cruise out of Juneau, in Alaska’s Inside Passage, showcases the beauty and wonder of Alaska marine life, seacoast and wilderness. Cruise through Tongass landscapes and Glacier Bay National Park aboard the nimble Safari Explorer on an intimate small ship journey. Enjoy land-based fun from hiking through the Tongass Rainforest, beach combing along inter-tidal zones to keeping an eye out for bear, sea otters, seals, and more. This unique exploration of the northern passages of Alaska by cruiseship provides an up-close, hands-on adventure that you won’t soon forget.
Main Ship
This high-end SUV of a ship is nimble, strong, and loving. The Safari Explorer has what mariners call “feet” that take her into wild areas most other ships aren’t certified to visit. Her performance-built rugged construction means access to faraway regions. But it’s what’s on the inside that makes this yacht the prize of the fleet. And with only 36 guests on board, the feel is decidedly exclusive.
The Safari Explorer is adventure equipped: kayaks; paddle boards; inflatable skiffs; and hiking poles and a full-beam swim step for easy access in the water. A hydrophone provides the opportunity to listen to below-surface sounds and bow-mounted underwater camera pipes the action to the lounge and to TVs in each cabin. The spa area includes a large on-deck hot tub (Alaska only), fitness equipment, yoga mats, and a complimentary massage.
Cabins
Each guest cabin is spacious and comfortable, with memory foam mattresses, TVs, view windows, and a full, private bathroom with heated tile floors.
This small ship cruise is roundtrip from Juneau. The capital city of Alaska is located off the road system but is Southeast Alaska’s main air transportation hub with daily flights from major airlines.
All gourmet meals are included during your cruise tour and every meal is handcrafted by executive chefs to highlight the flavors of southeastern Alaska. Not to mention the fine-picked wines, microbrews, and small-batch, house-made cocktails available onboard.
Each morning begins with fresh fruit, hot pastries, and a full breakfast. Lunches range from hearty salads, sandwiches, and homemade soups. Dinners are served over several courses and often include fresh local seafood and meat. Vegetarian dishes are also available at all meals.
For each day of this cruise tour, you can choose from a variety of activities based on your particular interests and abilities.
For the active and adventurous, embark on a guided kayak or skiff boat tour at each destination for close up views of wildlife. Consider hiking into the wilderness of remote islands for panoramic views, or try your hand at paddle boarding.
If you would rather relax, there will be plenty of opportunities for wildlife viewing from the cruise deck. Keep your eyes out for a glimpse of seals, otters, sea lions, whales, and other species.
