Alaska Inside Passage

Our Alaska Small Ship Cruises: Big Nature in Small Doses

The Alaska Inside Passage offers some of the most remote, breathtakingly pristine wilderness in North America.  Here, traditional ways stand in contrast to expansive, mind-blowing natural wonder.  InnerSea Discoveries small ship cruises open the door to the best, most remote areas that Alaska’s Inside Passage has to offer while encouraging you to explore your own idea of adventure.

The small expedition-style ships of InnerSea Discoveries are capable of versatile cruising into some of the most remote waterways of the Inside Passage where other cruise lines can’t travel.  With only 49 guests onboard and a 3 to 1 passenger to crew ratio, you’ll experience Alaska’s Inside Passage at its best.  Our unique approach to adventure will introduce you to secluded waterways where we will pause to catch every spectacular display of scenery or wildlife.  You’ll cruise in the company of expert naturalist guides and a small number of other cruisers who share your passion for exploration, adventure and discovery.

Choose from 3 personalized Alaska Inside Passage itineraries, our 7-night Juneau to Ketchikan Eastern Coves cruise, our 7-night Ketchikan to Juneau Western Coves or for the ultimate adventure, combine the 2 cruises into a 14-night round-trip cruise from Juneau. Add more adventure to your cruise with a shore excursion only available when you travel by small ship.  No matter what your activity level, our unique approach to adventure will let you find the Alaska Inside Passage vacation that fits your interests, timeframe and your budget.
