An 8-Day Alaska Adventure Cruise – Juneau to Petersburg

The Inside Passage of Alaska is almost unbelievable and the best way for you to take in endless wilderness is on a cruise aboard the David B. We’ll take you through channels and into coves and anchorages that are far off the beaten path. You’ll be able to experience the magic of Alaska with its solitude and wilderness. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the quiet of nature, where you can take the time to watch whales feed, bears forage and birds soar. A cruise on the David B is unscripted and it’s a vacation that you’ll wish will never end.

Alaska is renowned for its abundant wildlife, and this cruise offers ample opportunities to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Whether it’s the thrill of seeing a whale breaching, the delight in spotting a bear along the shoreline, or the joy of observing a playful sea otter, these encounters are reminders of the wonder of the natural world. And for those who love to explore the smaller wonders, tidepooling provides a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant marine life that thrives in the intertidal zones.

 


Cruise Through the Heart of Alaska’s Awe-Inspiring Beauty

Our cruise takes you into the heart of Alaska’s untamed wilderness, where every moment is a new opportunity for awe and wonder. From the majestic sight of a tidewater glacier to the tranquility of secluded anchorages, the landscapes you’ll encounter are as diverse as they are stunning. Go for a kayak paddle through calm reflective waters, where the only sounds are your paddle breaking the surface and the distant call of an eagle. Or picture yourself on a skiff, speeding into canyon-like fjords with walls so close you feel you can touch them.

“I am a licensed charter captain on the great lakes, but I was blown away by the knowledge and skill demonstrated by Jeffery and Christine in their daily routine of navigating the David B safely from place to place. Christine’s culinary skills are awesome too. They worked tirelessly to make sure that everyone got to enjoy everything.”
