Our insight

Exploring Alaska and the Pacific Northwest

We love exploring this magical region, which offers so much variety and choice. And whilst the key towns and ports of call are bustling and busy, you can be way off the beaten track in no time, exploring a wilderness you are sharing with brown bears, circling birds of prey and waters teeming with life, from whales to sea otters to running salmon racing upstream.

Adventurous travellers can enjoy the opportunity to hike ashore with expert guides, who will introduce them to ancient forests and a rich cultural history. There are so many exciting activities available, including kayaking, white water rafting, skiing and mountaineering. You can even snorkel in the waters of Alaska, or go heli-hiking on a glacier.

The local people are passionate about food and drink, and you will find an abundance of locally grown produce to tempt your taste buds.

Small ships, carrying even smaller zodiacs, paddle boards and kayaks, take you away from the crowds and ensure your experience in the Pacific Northwest is a true close-up adventure.
