Alaskan Explorations & Denali Cruise Tour

Aug 22, 2026 — Sep 6, 2026

Starting from

VANCOUVER, BC → SEWARD, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA

15 Nights on Star Seeker

Awaken and inspire your sense of adventure as you sail north through Canada’s Inside Passage, visiting the Alaskan towns of Wrangell and Haines. A journey through stunning landscapes, rich history, and unique wildlife. Admire the glaciated slopes and ice floes of Alaska’s Misty Fjords, Tracy Arm and Kenai Fjords, but keep a weather eye on the horizon for the telltale spray and black fins of orca pods. Disembark in Seward and ride inland to Fairbanks and scenic Denali National Park. Caribou, foxes and Dall sheep observations are nearly certain, but even the locals grow excited about grizzly and wolf pack sightings. A detailed float along the Chena River provides additional opportunities for ursine encounters prior to your transfer to Fairbanks Airport and your reentry into the predictabilities of a less-adventurous modern civilization.
