Is going to Alaska your dream? Cruise with us on your family vacation and you will experience an Alaskan adventure you will remember for years. Let us show you the Alaska you have dreamed of. We are from Alaska and really do go "off the beaten path" (where the large cruise ships can't go). You never know what might happen, from unexpected gifts of king crab to recent bear happening stories from locals to kayaking with the mighty humpbacks. Exploration is what we are about!

The Wonders of Alaska

A step beyond the typical commercial “Small Ship Cruises” our guests are treated to a private, very personalized experience like no other, becoming part of our family onboard 70’ Sundance staying away from the crowed ports instead, visiting remote areas unseen or experienced by most visitors.

  I took this photograph of this Alaskan brown bear without using a telephoto lens. We were safe with our guides who used pepper spray to keep them at bay.

Our Alaska vacation adventure includes trying to get into the glaciers. This was the first time in 2 years the ice was not to thick that we could get up to LeConte glacier. It is a 10 mile ride in our speed boat from where Sundance has to anchor. When we can't get up to the glacier, we kayak around the icebergs.
