Alaska's Inside Passage - Juneau to Petersburg

Safari Spirit is 105 -Foot, 12 Passenger Luxury Yacht

On the MY 'Safari Spirit' guests travel only during the day so there is nothing missed along the way. They anchor every night in pristine coves or dockside in small villages so guests can explore by water and on foot. Daytime cruising to secluded coves, islands and seldom-visited areas yield unique opportunities to experience a rich variety of wildlife and local cultures. With so few guests, the itineraries are flexible and can be altered at a moment's notice to maximize wildlife and scenic viewing opportunities

The 'Safari Spirit' offers personal and attentive guest services due to the ratio of 1 crew member for every 2 guests. The chef provides superb culinary masterpieces from specialized and custom menus all with gourmet flair and the attentive and knowledgeable expedition leader narrates the sights and sounds of the areas you are cruising through.

The 'Safari Spirit' exudes a modern elegance, with its newly renovated interior design from its rich cherry wood theme, to its lush and comfortable furnishings in the Grand Salon. The aft covered deck provides an elegant setting for dining and or just relaxing.

Day 2: Tenakee Springs
We'll search for the tell-tale blow of the humpback whale as we cruise today, and later, all the charm of Alaska will greet us as we pull into tiny Tenakee Springs, a remote fishing village tucked into Chichagof Island. We'll step ashore to stretch our legs and meet the people who choose to live their lives far removed from modern-day conveniences. Even here, seemingly worlds away from anyone, there is a wonderful local bakery and café, so do stop in! This evening we'll anchor in a remote bay and drop the kayaks for a paddle before calling it a day.

Days 3-5: Alaskan Gems
We'll cruise into the heart of Alaska's inside passage during the next three days. Greet the days with your adventurous side! We'll kayak under sea-carved arches back in the hidden inlets, and wander through misty coves where colorful sealift clings to the intertidal rocks. We'll explore the temperate rainforest where bears make their homes, or listen for the clear call of a Pacific loon, one of the many beautiful seabirds that migrate through this region. We'll spend our days cruising the waters where humpback whales, Steller's sea lions, orcas and porpoise feed and frolic. We'll visit striking fjords, enjoy guided nature hikes and soak in natural hot springs. Our anchorages will be guaranteed reason to pull out your camera one more time. Marvel at 2,500-foot cliffs that rise straight up out of the water. It simply does not get better than this.

Days 6-7: Glacier Country
Step ashore for invigorating guided hikes along remote trails in aptly named Scenic and Ideal coves or perhaps stroll the secluded beaches. The choice is yours. You also cruise slowly in an ice-filled bay where you see a fjord still being formed by an active glacier. To celebrate this amazing journey in the Inside Passage come together for a festive Farewell Dinner on your last evening aboard the 'Safari Spirit.'

Day 8: Petersburg
After breakfast we'll arrive in Petersburg. We'll bid you a fond farewell and transfer you to the airport for connections home.
