Southeast Alaska—The Inside Passage
Our home on Southeast Alaska—The Wild North is the Mist Cove, and our companions are just 24 like-minded adventurers and an expert crew of twelve. Our home on Southeast Alaska—The Inside Passage is the M.V. Sikumi, and our companions are a maximum of 12 guests and an expert crew of five. Each day you will have many activities from which to choose: fishing, shoreline walks with trained naturalists, early morning and late evening kayaking, wildlife and glacier viewing, and everything from leisurely beach combing or gentle strolls to vigorous hikes through virgin rainforests. Of course, it's OK to curl up with a good book in the salon or on deck and just savor the view. This is one of our favorite get-aways. Maybe it will be one of yours, too.
