Northern Passages & Glacier Bay

un cruise

Cruise prices started from USD 4550 pp (Master Stateroom double-occupancy rates) inclusive of meals; beverages (including alcohol); watersports activities (snorkeling, sea kayaking, beach BBQs), and all transfers. Early bookings received USD 800 ticket price discounts. River cruises (only offered onboard the SS Legacy/Wilderness Legacy) provide "softer" adventures than the Adventure ones, with the extent of recreation that is a little walking in town. These cruises highlight the history, culture, and wildlife of the ports of call through a series of tours and enrichment lectures on board. There are options for those who look for more activity during free time in port.

Alaska’s Glacier Country Highlights

Our hikes were very educational due to the expertise of our naturalist group leaders. We explored marshes and tidal basins and bush-wacked our way through alder forests, while shouting "Hey, Bear" to ward off any predators. The glaciers were gorgeous and we rode a skiff over to walk up and touch one (another group hiked up the mt to walk on it). We kayaked through glacier waters where we pushed mini icebergs out of the way.

Since our cabin was right next to the Bridge we took them up on their offer to join them and we spent many evenings with the wonderful 2nd Mate. One night he said he had some extra time. "You all like whales so let's go chase whales" and he turned the ship and off we went chasing whales. The spontaneity and no rigid schedule was a good deal of the fun. The crew was flexible and very helpful. Come aboard the 86-guest Wilderness Legacy and take a step back in time.

Single fares are “from prices” reflecting the lowest fare available in select cabins. The Lounge is the largest of the Alaska fleet, with plenty of room for spotting wildlife, sharing photos, and playing chess - all with a cocktail or soda from the bar. Your setting might be reminiscent of a neighborhood pub, intimate wine bar, or upscale lounge. Specialty coffee and teas are always available. Wines tend to come from Washington and Oregon, but impressive international wines are also available.

The bus ride to Kantishna through the wild animal preserve was interesting - driver very good at spotting wildlife despite the fact that it was pouring the entire trip and next day. -- No controlling the weather but it was disappointing and I understand, not unusual. The Captain, 2nd Mate and all the crew made it incredibly fun, informative and a true adventure. It was a great mix of people from all over and we hope to stay in touch.

Polished, unwavering, and upscale, the 84-guest Safari Endeavour may be the workhorse of the fleet but it’s her zest-for-life persona that’s remembered most. Not to mention her roomy lounge, dining room, and undisputed sun deck, as well as her slick EZ Dock launch platform. Long days of Alaska summers mean extra playtime. Temps are warmer, so there's better access to higher elevation hikes.

Luckily, there were only 33 passengers so our group was small enough to get to know everyone. We kayaked, hiked, and explored on the skiff 2-3 times a day, even snorkeled. We saw SO MANY whales that even the crew was mesmerized. The very first night we saw a pod of orca. Another evening, it was as if the humpbacks put on a 2 hour show for us - cooperative feeding (eschelon and bubble net) and broaching 4-5 times in a row. All passengers and crew were on the deck watching and applauding!

Ended in Juneau where we extended for a night at the Westmark Baranoff. Innovative, nutritious, and tasty dishes that highlight the flavors of the region. In Alaska, sample buttery-rich Dungeness crab caught live, in-season, by local fishermen. Or try roasted pineapple with mascarpone ice cream and banana bread crumble in the Hawaiian Islands.
