Alaska Cruises

Small Ship Expedition Cruises

Why Alaska?

My first exposure to Alaska was an epic season as a commercial halibut fisherman based out of Homer. That experience introduced me to the wild nature that is Alaska. Not just another American state but a frontier for adventure.

I have returned to Alaska regularly since then - exploring the bush with friends, sailing the fjords of southeast Alaska on an Uncruise with my family, mountain biking Hatcher Pass, cross-country skiing Kincaid Park in Anchorage. There is a lifetime of adventure in the 49th state.
