An Alaskan cruise is not merely a vacation; it is an immersive encounter with true untamed wilderness. Cruising past towering tidewater glaciers like Hubbard Glacier and through the protected channels of the Inside Passage is an unforgettable sensory experience.
Small expedition ships like Endeavour II provide a decisive advantage over massive cruise ships: they navigate shallow fjords and deploy fleets of inflatable Zodiac boats to bring guests within safe, respectful proximity of sea otters, harbor seals, and calving icebergs.
Be sure to bring a camera with a quality telephoto lens, as opportunities to photograph bald eagles nesting in old-growth hemlock trees and humpback whales bubble-net feeding occur daily.
