Alaska

Southeast Alaska—The Wild North

Trip information and highlights

Itinerary

Schedule and pricing

Alaskan Song
Mist Cove

On the Alaskan Song or Mist Cove, we cruise a solitary route between Juneau and Sitka, often anchoring alone in deep fjords. Sometimes we're close enough to stare into the gaze of the Alaska Brown bear, to be amused by the playful sea otters and sea lions, and to watch shorebirds bustling about for tasty bits. You may see orcas—the wolves of the sea—cruising in search of croutons in the form of an unwary seal, sea lion or seabird. Bald eagles "cotton-ball" the fir trees, their white heads contrasting smartly with the dark greenery. Colorful and comical puffins provide no end of amusement!
