Alaska: Juneau & the Glaciers Charter Itinerary

Alaska: Juneau & the Glaciers Itinerary

Alaska: Juneau & the Glaciers Yacht Charter
A grand loop from Juneau through the heart of the Inside Passage, from tidewater glaciers to whale-rich straits and remote Tlingit villages. This is Alaska at its most immersive, calving ice and feeding humpbacks, hot springs reachable only by boat and the untouched wilderness of Glacier Bay. Expect bears and bald eagles, waterfalls and totem villages, an epic ten-day expedition.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Juneau

Begin in Juneau, the capital, nestled between snow-capped mountains and the glittering sea. Visit the Mendenhall Glacier, then sail south into the passage as the peaks close in around you.
