Northern Explorer Adventures specializes in intimate Resurrection Bay cruises for small groups of up to 6 guests. We offer individualized itineraries for 2-night cruises as we traverse southcentral Alaska’s spectacular wildlife rich waters.
Full boat charters and customized trips of one to seven days are also available upon request. Please contact us to discuss your plans. Weather, wildlife sighting opportunities and our guests’ preferences can all affect our daily route as itineraries can change. However, the following 3 and 4-day itineraries provide a good snapshot of your cruise. |
DAY 1
You’ll first step aboard the Northern Explorer from the dock. Meet your personable captain and crew, and get settled into your private stateroom. Then take a few minutes to explore the beautiful cruising yacht that will be your home for the next several days.
As we leave the harbor, the crew will ask for your full attention as they explain the safety features of the ship, including our eight-man life raft, personal floatation jackets, 17-foot inflatable shore boat, and fire extinguishers. We’ll then be underway for one of many hidden coves. Be sure to watch for whales, porpoise, sea otters, puffins, bald eagles and black bears that frequent this area. |
Our leisurely afternoon in our secrete anchorages includes a delicious gourmet lunch. We’ll depart afterwards and make our way to another beautiful Secret Cove, where you can choose how to spend your time.
Back on board, enjoy freshly prepared hors d’oeuvres in the main salon, followed by dinner. After-dinner options include watching a movie, playing a board game, or a serene kayak trip on the calm waters of our hidden cove. We are here for the night. |
DAY 2
There is nothing like starting your day with a kayak along the shoreline as the fog lifts toward the morning sun. We’ll have breakfast here and depart around 10 a.m. to make our way through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Alaska.
