ALAKSA COSTAL ODYSSEY

The Sprit of Oceanus is a luxurious small ship, with a unique style of ‘up-close, casual small-ship cruising’ with an onboard Exploration Leader. The ship hosts just 114 guests in comfortable outside ensuite cabins.

The Coastal Odyssey voyage cruises over 2,500 kms between Vancouver, B.C. and Anchorage, exploring the entire Inside Passage between British Columbia and Glacier Bay National Park, and the spectacular Gulf of Alaska coast. The Cruise West flag ship takes you to ports other cruise lines don't (or can't) reach, and brings you close to shore in search of puffins in Glacier Bay, seals and sea otters in the Kenai Fjords, and bears feeding along the shoreline of Admiralty Island.

This cruise allows you to visit some of the most beautiful spectacles on earth. Cruising British Colombia you will experience sheltered waterways lined by the evergreen wilderness of the Great Bear Rainforest that temptingly lead you north towards Alaska. These nutrient-rich waters are home to whales and dolphins. You will come face to face with First Nations cultures in one of the villages of British Columbia’s coast.

MISTY FIORDS AND METLAKATLA – The dramatic granite cliffs of Misty Fiords National Monument welcome you to Alaska’s grandeur as you explore spectacular Behm Canal, a glacially carved fjord where six inlets come together. National Forest Service Kayak Rangers join you onboard to offer information about this area.

PETERSBURG – The winding Wrangell Narrows lead to the Norwegian-founded, bustling fishing village of Petersburg.

TRACY ARM AND FREDERICK SOUND – You will be cruising far up the Tracy Arm toward the twin Sawyer Glaciers, where steep granite cliffs line waterways choked with icebergs. There will be time to search the waters for humpback and orca whales, seals, sea lions, and porpoise in Frederick Sound.

SKAGWAY – Relive the Gold Rush in the picture-perfect setting of Skagway, the starting place for many early gold seekers.

GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK – Enjoy a majestic excursion into Glacier Bay National Park, looking for wildlife and glacier activity in remote bays. A Park Service Ranger joins you onboard to help spot wildlife and offer fascinating information on this evolving area. SITKA – Breathtaking waterways lead to attractive Sitka.

EXPLORING THE ALASKAN COAST – Enjoy a full day at sea with snowcapped mountains lining the northern horizon.
