Description   Private Adventure Cruising in Alaska

Description of Boat

70’ long, Sundance was built for the ocean and her width of 21 feet, draft (or depth) of 11 feet and weight of 150 tons makes her a very comfortable riding vessel for cruising Alaska’s waters. The modern galley emits wonderful smells of delicious pies, homemade bread and wonderful hearty meals.

Relax in the comfortable salon surrounded by large window so you are sure not to miss the scenery. The wheelhouse also provides a great place for guests to take in the view and talk with the captain.

Her four staterooms sleep 3 and each have custom made mattresses. Our guests consistently tell us that they have never had such a good nights sleep! Sundance has ample outside deck area for outdoor activities and barbeques!

Crew quarters are separate from guest quarters.

Destinations

Unlike the typical commercial large and small ship cruises, the only destinations we have are the beautiful and remote bays of SE Alaska avoiding the herds of people. We have created several itineraries aimed towards adventurers who would like an opportunity to get to know the people of Southeast Alaska, their land and way of life.

Our routes have been chosen specifically so that our guests may explore these beautiful countries in the same way that the locals do. Rich with history, wildlife, majestic mountains, waterfalls and endless shorelines and coves, Alaska Exploration Cruises guide their guests to places unseen or experienced by most visitors.

Typical Day

Taking into consideration the diverse preferences of our guests, our expeditions touch on everything Southeast Alaska has to offer. Every cruise is unique, from a fisherman stopping to give us freshly caught king crab which we were happy to feast on to hearing a story about a bear breaking into our friends remote, hand built log house the night before we stopped to visit them with our guests! We have been able to give our guest many firsts, first halibut caught, first time kayaking with whales, first time seeing brown bears

Activities include -
Kayaking along shorelines spying on bears, among icebergs, and even with whales.
Relax in a remote natural hot spring situated next to a rushing waterfall. Explore the shoreline by speed boat.
Help us pull and set both our shrimp and crab pots. They can learn how we prepare our catch.
Learn navigation with our experienced captain who has an unlimited tonnage license and who has spent most of his life at sea in Alaska.
We may visit an art gallery filled with local art in a remote village accessible only by small boat or float plane.
Hiking availability depends entirely upon bear activity. Or guests may just sit back and relax!

Although we have planned activities for each day, we are always happy to stray, fun and exploration is what we are about!
