Soul. Stiring. Sailing into the mystic; exploring the full breath of the Inside Passage; hugging coastlines sculpted by rivers of jagged ice; navigating islands scattered like jigsaw pieces across cobalt bays. Misty Fjord, Mendenhall Glacier, Tracy Arm Fjord - ephemeral landmarks that will burn into your consciousness as part of your life’s story. Breathe in the rarefied air of snow-capped mountains of Ketchikan and Juneau. Forge deeper into winding narrows to find a wilderness where bears outnumber people. Dolphins and otters provide escort into one of the worlds longest fjords where the mountains are higher, the vistas more dramatic, and the glaciers impossibly more gigantic. A crescendo of anticipation builds as we ply Misty Fjord and Tracy Arm Fjord; each a dizzying display of energy where waterfalls plummet; granite cliffs thrust skyward; and wildlife calls out in a symphony of sounds. Eternal landscapes of America’s national treasures.
