This itinerary is subject to change depending on weather conditions, your wishes and the skipper's advice.
Hoist the sails for an exceptional Cruise in the Gulf of Alaska aboard a sailboat!
Day 1
Arrival desired the day before, with night at the hotel. Meeting point the next morning at 9:00 am.
Embark in Valdez, board the sailboat and sail towards the hundred sea lions in the rockery. The exit from Prince William Sound is truly magical! Sailing on the high seas
Day 2
Head from William Sound to Yakutat sailing offshore overnight with whales at sea. The magnificent mountains of Mount St. Elias make the landscape a huge space and an unforgettable setting.
Day 3
You will sail past Hinchinbrook and Hawkins Islands to reach the "open ocean".
Day 4 - 5
Drive along the country to Yakutat passing Kattala and maybe you will see some glaciers or orquals.
Day 6
Head to Elf Bay! Stop at Elfin Cove, a "village at the end of the world" where twelve fishermen live in this bay with flowered houses. A sumptuous mix of wilderness and otarcia life.
Day 7-9
During the last "Little Ice Age" of the 18th century, rising glaciers forced the Tlingit population to flee the land where they had lived for centuries around 1750. You will have the chance to moor and walk at the foot of some of the 16 glaciers, to the impressive sound of the frozen waterfall and the crashing of some of the glaciers in the distance. The landscape of this huge glacial valley attracts a lot of photographers.
Day 10
Disembarkation in the afternoon. Unfortunately, this will be the end of your cruise. You will disembark in Juneau, the capital of Alaska, with unforgettable memories in your head.
A tip: consider a night in a hotel on the evening of disembarkation in the city.
note: The itinerary presented above can be done in reverse depending on the departure dates, more information at the time of booking.

Passion for books, music and cooking! I live in the Alps, precisely in the Vercors, as a mountain guide and as a ski touring guide.
