Board the Wilderness Explorer for a memorable voyage of discovery around Alaska. Various itineraries are available, with the longest cruise lasting for an incredible 21 nights and sailing between Juneau and Sitka. See a fascinating selection of wildlife and dramatic scenery, and enjoy a cultural trip to a Tlingit village. Highlights include Glacier Bay National Park, Misty Fjords National Monument, Behm Canal, Tongass National Forest, and the islands of Baranof, Chichagof, and South Marble.
