About this trip

 Your Private Alaskan Paradise: Yacht Cruise with Bear, Fishing & Exploration 

Embark on an unforgettable 8-day Alaskan adventure aboard your private yacht. Explore the stunning inside passage, discover abundant wildlife in protected waters, and witness the majestic beauty of glaciers, all while enjoying the company of eight to 10 of your closest friends and family. Our all-inclusive cruises are fully customizable, allowing you to check off every highlight on your Alaskan cruise bucket list.

Your Cruise. Your Way.
Discover the untamed beauty of the Inside Passage on your terms. Our flexible itineraries let you choose your bucket list highlights and explore destinations that ignite your imagination. Experience the wonders of Alaska with the freedom and flexibility only a private yacht cruise can offer. We collaborate with all eight passengers to ensure everyone experiences their Alaskan dreams. Go home with memories beyond your wildest expectations and newfound friendships.  

Wildlife Encounters Guaranteed
With a more extended 8-day cruise, we have the time to search for whales, bears, bald eagles, porpoises, sea lions, birds, and so much more! Our comfortable zodiacs and kayaks allow you to get up close and personal with nature.  This is an ideal time to see whales bubble-net feeding!

Go Where Most People Don't.
While most people sit on their balcony on an Alaskan cruise, you'll have the adventure to explore the fjords and remote islands and take in the wildlife only accessible by boat.  

Delicious Alaskan Cuisine
Enjoy the freshest Alaskan seafood prepared by our chef. Hear captivating stories from your local captain and fisherman about the journey from ocean to plate. You might even catch a Dungeness crab or shrimp for dinner! Come hungry.  

No Extra Day Excursion Fees
Most cruises require you to pay for your day excursion separately, but it's all included with us! This means less planning, fewer crowds, and a fun and more intimate experience for you.  

Exhilarating, Stable & Fun
Our 85-foot expedition yacht is built for Alaskan waters and has stabilizers for a comfortable, smooth ride. If the weather is rough in one area, we jump to another bay or inlet to have fun and experience those hidden gems. We don't want you to be seasick, so our cruises differ slightly depending on the wildlife and weather. And did we mention that we are a darn FUN group to adventure with?  

Fun, Local Captain & Crew Beyond the breathtaking scenery, your experienced local captain will share stories, local history, geological features, and his life as a commercial fisherman and adventure seeker!

Glacial Fjords, Giant Icebergs & Old Growth
Experience giant icebergs up to the size of a three-story building, calving glaciers before they are gone, and cruise the pristine wilderness of Tongass National Forest, a 17-million-acre expanse—the largest rainforest in the USA.  

Please remember the animals are always on the move, and whales have tails, so you never know what will be around the next bend. That is the fun of an Alaskan adventure.

I loved this trip! One of my best experiences ever. Is my second time doing it with Alaska Sea Adventures on the Northern Song and Jim Nahmens and I'm definitely doing it again. We had an amazing crew that with Captain Shane, Mate Bart and knowledgeable Jim took us to see awsome bubble net feeding humpback whales, sea lions, black and brown bears and glaciers. The food made by Chef Katie was absolutely delicious, I'm vegan and she made me very happy with her creations. The boat is beautiful and really comfortable, very good maintained and you definitely feel safe and at home. I had the best new friends and I can't wait to do it again!

Every time I go with the crew at Alaska Sea Adventures, it's always a pleasure. Top-notch cooking, on-point hospitality, and a professional staff who's always attentive.
By Russell G for A Nature Photography Expedition with Russell Graves A125 on Jul 07, 2025
It was the perfect balance of daily adventures in beautiful areas of Alaska, relaxation and fine dining with amazing meals prepared by our chef extraordinaire Katie. Captain Shane personalized the trip and first mate Bart was awesome.

Where do I begin? The Alaska Sea Adventure was amazing. I enjoyed all of the personal attention from the crew, Katie & Bart, and Captain Mariah. Katie is an amazing chef and I enjoyed trying all of the foods we were served. She was very willing to customize and tweak according to our preferences. I will admit, there was nothing I didn’t like. Bart, assisted us with gear and shuttled us to our shore excursions. He gave us great instruction while shrimping. Mariah went ashore with us and educated us on the marine life and landscapes of Alaska. Her knowledge is deep and she was an asset to have on the trip. She skillfully navigated us through rough seas and always found us beautiful locations to wake up to. This is an adventure I would definitely do over. Kayaking was not available and the weather was not suitable for the airplane trip. I enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife, eagles, whales, seals, bear, moose, and the countless birds, including a Rufus Humming Bird. This was one of the most relaxing trips I’ve been on. Everyone gelled and that’s what made it fun!

Thanks for a wonderful time seeing the San Juan Islands aboard NORTHERN SONG – and even better with exceptional cuisine! Very enjoyable itinerary – and quite something to combine stops or anchor off Cypress, Orcas, San Juan (Roche Harbor), Stuart, Sucia – and fun to observe the animals on Speiden, all in 5 days / 4 nights! Highly recommended! Michael Sawyer October 3-7, 2024 San Juan Islands
