Private Luxury Cruise Onboard the M/V Sea Star

Touch down in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest metropolis and receive a personal greeting followed by a private transfer to your downtown hotel. Stretch your legs searching for delicious local seafood or relax in your Anchorage hotel room after a day of travel.

Overnight in Anchorage.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before meeting your personal driver/guide for your exclusive journey south by private vehicle to Whittier. Along the way, stop in at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a non-profit that focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating the wildlife of Alaska. Get a personal tour of the facility and up close with a moose while learning about their lifestyle and time at the Center.

The small town of Whittier is accessible via the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel – the longest highway tunnel in North America at 2.5 miles.  The one-lane tunnel operates on a schedule allowing vehicles – and the Alaska Railroad – to share the tunnel at various times. Arrive in Whittier where you will meet the crew of the M/V Sea Star and embark on a cruise through Prince William Sound.

The 95-foot yacht will be your home for the next four nights on your custom and privately guided cruise tour. Get acquainted with your Captain and crew before settling in and taking in the view of the passing mountains.

Prince William Sound is made up of 10,000 square miles, and countless fjords, glaciers, passages, and remote islands that can be easily explored on the nimble M/V Sea Star. The remote vast nature within Prince William Sound and its protected waters make it the perfect environment for abundant marine life. The seas, skies, and islands are home to numerous species such as sea otters, harbor seals, Dalls porpoise, humpback whales, orca whales, mountain goats, deer, black bear, and more that you may have the possibility of seeing during your private charter. Learn all about these delightful creatures from your naturalist guide on board.

Prince William Sound is home to dozens of glaciers, including hanging glaciers found up in the mountain crevices, and tidewater glaciers that touch the sound waters.  Your private cruise will provide ample opportunity to see these ancient blue ice formations that are often associated with Alaska.  Your captain and crew will dedicate as much time as you like near the glaciers so that you can check ‘seeing a calving glacier’ off your bucket list. Because of its small size, the Sea Star will get you closer than any other vessel to the face of tidewater glaciers for the opportunity to hear the creaking ice flow of these frozen rivers and the hear the astounding crash of the calving ice hitting the water.

Your time aboard the M/V Sea Star can be spent being as active or relaxed as you would like, which makes it a great option for family and friends who may want something different during their time on the water. Set out on a sea kayak to explore small coves and immerse yourself in your natural surroundings. Go ashore with your naturalist guide for leisurely beachcombing or a more adventurous hike. Learn how to harvest fresh prawns for dinner, or simply sit back and relax with a good book and glass of wine in one of the most scenic locations in the world.

Wake up on the final day of your private charter and enjoy breakfast while taking in the last bit of solitude. Your crew will hoist the anchor and the boat will make its way back to Whittier. Lunch will be served and your Captain and crew will do their best to provide wildlife viewing or glacier activity in route. Disembark in Whittier where you will meet your private driver/guide to return to Anchorage for your departing flight, or continue on a private touring program.
