Looking toward Hoonah and Icy Strait Point, where we are not going. Instead, today will feature an hours-long "yak and whack" combo of bushwhacking and kayaking.

Calling all adventure seekers and luxury enthusiasts! Gear up for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Alaska's pristine wilderness. Seabourn, the undisputed leader in ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, proudly unveils its captivating 2024 Alaska season, kicking off on May 10th, 2024. This season marks a momentous occasion, as it signifies the final voyage of the iconic Seabourn Odyssey through "The Last Frontier." Passengers are invited to embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure aboard this beloved vessel before it departs the Seabourn fleet. Seabourn Sets Sail Unveiling the 2024 Alaska Season: A Journey of Discovery Setting Sail with Seabourn Odyssey: Seabourn Odyssey embarks on a series of twelve, seven-day voyages, commencing in May and culminating in August 2024. These immersive itineraries traverse between Vancouver and Juneau, offering northbound and southbound journeys. Each route presents unique landscapes, captivating destinations, and thrilling adventures. For an even more comprehensive exploration, travelers can combine two seven-day voyages to create a transformative 14-day round-trip adventure from Vancouver. Beyond the Seven-Day Itineraries: The 2024 Alaska season extends beyond the traditional seven-day journeys. Seabourn Odyssey offers two captivating 10-day Alaska Fjord Odyssey itineraries, as well as a singular 11-day Inside Passage & Alaska Fjords voyage, all conveniently departing roundtrip from Vancouver in June. Ventures by Seabourn: Unveiling Alaska's Hidden Gems For those seeking an extra dose of adventure, Seabourn's acclaimed Ventures by Seabourn program offers a plethora of optional, expertly guided experiences. Led by the line's world-class expedition team, these immersive activities allow guests to get up close and personal with Alaska's awe-inspiring wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. Imagine exploring the majestic Hubbard Glacier, kayaking through the serene Tracy/Endicott Arm, or venturing into the untouched wilderness of the Indian Islands. Ventures by Seabourn also offers thrilling excursions to Rudyerd Bay (Misty Fjords) and the culturally rich Alert Bay in British Columbia. Each excursion is meticulously curated to provide an in-depth exploration of the region's history, ecology, and vibrant culture. The ship's expedition team, comprised of naturalists, scientists, wildlife experts, and historical specialists, actively engages with guests throughout the voyage, sharing their knowledge and fostering a deeper understanding of the destinations visited. A Farewell to Remember: The 22-Day Farewell Voyage To commemorate the final voyage of Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn has crafted a remarkable 22-day Farewell Voyage, departing from Seattle, Washington, on September 2nd, 2024, and culminating in Yokohama, Japan. This one-of-a-kind journey promises a celebration of Seabourn Odyssey's legacy. Guests can expect appearances from the original crew and performing cast, captivating performances by local artists, and a collection of unique gifts and experiences designed to create lasting memories. The itinerary itself is a captivating blend of Alaskan wonders and Japanese cultural immersion. The voyage traverses the breathtaking glacial landscapes of Alaska's southern reaches, explores the wildlife havens of Kodiak Island and Dutch Harbor, and concludes with a fascinating exploration of Japan's Hokkaido Island, where guests can witness the vibrant hues of the first autumn foliage. Seabourn Odyssey: Your Gateway to Alaska's Enchantment Natalya Leahy, President of Seabourn, eloquently captures the essence of the 2024 Alaska season: "While Seabourn will continue to explore Alaska in the future, this upcoming season marks the final journeys of Seabourn Odyssey to 'The Great Land.' We invite our guests to embark on one final voyage with her before she departs our fleet. Captain Tim Roberts, our highly experienced Alaska Captain, once shared with me, 'You have not seen Alaska until you have sailed with Seabourn.' This sentiment holds. Our meticulously crafted itineraries offer an unparalleled retreat into nature, blending up-close adventures with the unparalleled amenities of ultra-luxury cruising. Seabourn Odyssey's intimate size and yacht-like atmosphere allow guests to forge a profound connection with Alaska's vast wildlife and breathtaking wilderness."
