The Inside Passage

A 7-Day Adventure aboard the M.V. Sikumi

The M.V. Sikumi provides the comfortable ride and spacious living of a traditional cruise ship, yet is small enough to afford her passengers access to the special places missed by larger cruise ships.

Aboard the 67-foot Sikumi you'll have ample time to unwind in comfort. The yacht offers a dining lounge, a bar and plenty of deck space for enjoying a warm beverage or snapping shots of the stunning surroundings. Each stateroom features private en-suite facilities.

The Sikumi sets a new itinerary for each adventure. A typical Inside Passage cruise will include up-close views of some of Alaska's most impressive glaciers, phenomenal whale watching opportunities, sea kayaking excursions, and round-the-clock fishing right off the deck. All the equipment you'll need (rods, kayaks, rain jackets/boots, etc.) is provided on the Sikumi.
