Alaska Glacier Country
Alaska Glacier Country Cruise
Alaska cruises deliver adventure, action, exploration, and the unexpected—paddling and hiking, calving glaciers, Glacier Bay National Park, bears, whales, and polar plunges.
Explore islands, glaciers, and forests. Kayak in remote inlets that bring you closer to wildlife including eagles, sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and seabirds.
Nobody does Alaska better than Uncruise, who specialise in small ship cruises in Alaska which get you closer to nature.
This itinerary includes one day in Glacier Bay National Park and the chance to get close up to glaciers: Dawes, Margerie, and Grand Pacific.
You can go bushwhacking in the Tongass National Forest and explore Fords Terror Wilderness Area by skiff and hike inland on Chichagof Island.
There's a good chance of seeing humpback whales in Frederick Sound and Chatham Strait and there's a chance of great wildlife sightings: black and brown bears, eagles, sea otters, harbour seals, sea lions and sea birds.
Kick start the morning with on-deck yoga stretches and a strong cup of coffee.
Energized and snug in your kayak, glide around in remote bays off of Icy Strait through giant bullwhip kelp that can grow to over 100 feet long. Join the gang in a skiff to a rocky outcropping to watch sea lions play.
Or, step into mud boots for a forest hike with your top-notch, naturalist guides who have plenty to share about everything Alaska—marine biology, plants, and even geology. On board, soak it all in as you soak in the hot tub.
This Alaska holiday can be tailored to suit your exact requirements, so just let us know your ideal trip.

Day 4: Glacier Bay National Park
You’re in for a real treat. Have your binoculars handy—South Marble Island is a birder’s slice of heaven. Puffins scoot through the water.
Guillemots and gulls chatter up the airwaves. The snoozing sea lions don’t seem to mind.
More thrills and chills await as you cruise to the far end of John Hopkins Inlet or Tarr Inlet where glaciers calve into the water. Backed by knife-edged peaks, bears forage along the shoreline of Tidal Inlet. Mountain goats too.
Overnight On Board.
Day 5: Chatham Strait
Stretching 150 miles into the Tongass National Forest, Chatham Strait offers adventure aplenty.
Rest assured your captain navigates to the best. Anchor in a remote Chichagof Island inlet. Backpacks loaded and adventure toys lowered (skiffs, paddle boards, kayaks), it’s time to go play.
Energy flows as you hike up through moss-covered trees and rain-fed waterfalls. Stick to the water in a kayak excursion, and don’t forget to look above and below the surface.
A nosy seal could be watching your every stroke. Beachcomb rocky shores. Tiny creatures cling to rocks.
Tonight, take a nightcap to the sun deck and watch the sky.
Overnight On Board.
Day 6: Kulu Island
The jagged arms and fingers of Kuiu Island stretch from 25 to just six miles wide.
Salmon streams dot the coastline—and where there’s salmon, there are bears.
Despite its slim size, Kuiu Island is home to many black bears, who, like you, love the solitude and open skies in the heart of the Tongass National Forest.
From kayak or skiff, scope the intertidal zones of Skanax Bay for these guys. Eagles fish here too, their white noggins give away their perches.
Kayak along the Keku Islands or take the pace down a notch with an easy stroll amidst the tide pools. It’s remote, and remarkable.
Overnight On Board.
Day 7: Frederick Sound
Humpbacks beeline it here each season to feed on krill, zooplankton, and herring.
Watch for whales feasting in these abundant glacial waters. Hang out and enjoy the show.
Based on wind and weather, your expedition team has the lineup of adventures all mapped out.
Cruise past Five Fingers Lighthouse, Alaska’s oldest light station and The Brothers Islands, where sea lions nap on rocky nobs. Paddle into the deeps of Thomas Bay or head ashore for a hike.
Somewhere nearby, carrot-billed black oystercatchers are saying hello. Tonight, toast another big day in Alaska
Overnight On Board.
Day 8: Endicott Arm - Dawes Glacier
Skiffing up Endicott Arm, harbor seals laze around on icebergs. If the tides are right, slip into Fords Terror, the steep walls of this narrow opening streaked with waterfalls.
Back in the Arm, gasp at the deep glacier-carved valleys. It’s at the end where you meet the piece de resistance: Dawes Glacier.
Blue ice marches down from the Coast Mountains. With a sharp crack, the white thunder of a calving slice makes a mega-splash.
Tonight, celebrate with a festive Farewell Dinner and “photo journal” from your expedition team.
Overnight On Board.
