Sample Itinerary
Charter Experience
Alaska’s Inside Passage snakes up between the mainland and off-lying islands and islets to the southeast. This scenic stretch of coastline has become the most popular cruising area in Alaska. It is as far removed as you can get from the favored Mediterranean and Caribbean cruising grounds. Despite its popularity, Alaska is the largest state in the U.S. both in terms of land and water, and as such the area is so vast that you can steer a solitary route much of the time, enjoying the complete wilderness all to yourself.
A charter in this region typically begins across the border in Canada’s Vancouver or Seattle, Washington, in the U.S. before cruising up the coastline and across the border into Alaska; alternatively, you can choose to board your luxury yacht in Alaska’s capital, Juneau. Wherever you choose to embark, as soon as you set sail the world drifts far into the distance as you forget the noise, speed and drama of 21st century life. Here it is all about timeless, majestic landscapes and the remarkable wildlife that has inhabited the area for thousands of years. From ancient snowfields, glaciers and fjords to soaring eagles in lofty mountains and bears in dense forests to pods of whales escorting you through the wilds of America’s 49th state, Alaska, is one of the world’s most serene and spectacular cruising grounds.
