ALASKA & GLACIER BAY ADVENTURE CRUISE
AUGUST 6-13, 2021
We’re heading to Alaska for the trip of a lifetime! Olivia
is thrilled to partner with UnCruise once again for our
8-day/7-night trip in Alaska. In true expedition style,
you’ll wake to the cry of soaring eagles, watch ice thunder
from the face of a glacier, and see dramatically cascading
waterfalls. You’ll enjoy skiff rides and kayaking in Glacier
Bay, whale watching (and maybe experience the whales
‘Bubble-Feeding’) and learning about Alaska’s rich Native
American heritage. We’ll even spend two full days in
Glacier Bay National Park, accompanied by a Park Ranger.
Imagine kayaking along Alaskan glacier icebergs and
amongst friendly sea lions. Our small ship will stop at inlets
the big ships can’t reach, giving you access to amazing
natural wonders. The Naturalists on board will share their
knowledge of the area we’re exploring and the wildlife
we see.

Saturday, August 7, 2021 | Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier
The large cruise ships don’t usually venture into Endicott Arm, a pristine
tidal inlet and fjord marked by rugged mountains, deep u-shaped valleys,
and towering waterfalls and widely acclaimed as the most beautiful in
Alaska. Explore by kayak or skiff and view rugged ice-covered mountains
gleaming high overhead and the actively calving, awe-inspiring Dawes
glacier, which is like a river frozen in time, snaking its way down through
the massive mountains.

Sunday, August 8, 2021 | Icy Strait and Cross Sound
Today’s the ultimate day of exploration. Set your course for arguably
the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska. Keep watch for the
telltale blow of the humpbacks as you scour the nutrient-rich waters
in search of whales, porpoise, sea lions, and other wildlife. Join the
Captain on the Bridge or go on deck with your Expedition Leader.
Late afternoon, we’ll drop the skiffs and kayaks for closer inspection
of the remote coastline with eyes set on shore for possible bear
sightings. This evening take in the solitude while relaxing in the upper
deck hot tub or enjoy a nightcap with your fellow Olivians in the Salon.

Monday, August 9, 2021 | Glacier Bay National Park
Glacier Bay is at its best when explored by small groups with time for
treks and kayaking inside the bay and wilderness areas. For almost
two days we’ll explore the glaciers and wildlife of Glacier Bay National
Park. Accompanied by a National Park Ranger, you’ll travel nearly
60 miles the park, cruising to the tidewater glaciers of Grand Pacific
and Margerie, which frequently calve huge icebergs into the bay.
Enjoy an evening at anchor in this unspoiled landscape.
Tuesday, August 10, 2021 | Glacier Bay National Park
Today will be our second day of exploring the Glacier Bay National
Park. You might start the day by paddling your kayak in the quiet of this
majestic wilderness, looking for puffins and sea lions, mountain goats
and bears, moose and eagles—and admiring scenery more spectacular
than any on earth. If conditions permit, we'll lower the skiffs and weave
among the icebergs that have fallen from the face of the glaciers.

Today you’ll cruise along the scenic Chatham Strait—Shee ya xhaak
in the Tlingit language—a narrow passage through the Alexander
Archipelago with waterfall-laced coasts on either side. The captain
(who knows the “locals-only” spots) will set a course to sites where
we’ll be most likely to spot wildlife.

Explore Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage—another excellent
chance to view humpback whales and other marine wildlife. Pass
by Five Fingers Lighthouse and watch for playful antics at a large sea
lion haul-out made from dozens of rocky islets. Later, cruise picturesque
bays, where evergreen forests crowd the shores. Toast your voyage
with a festive Farewell Dinner, and before turning in, your expedition
team will share their photo journal of your trip together.

faq VACATION STRETCHERS
We do not offer pre- or post-trip Vacation Stretchers on these
smaller trips, but if you are interested in coming a day or two early
to explore Juneau, the Four Points by Sheraton is located right
across the street from the meeting point. There is plenty to do
in Juneau, such as visiting the Mendenhall Glacier, taking the
tram to the top of Mount Roberts, taking a float plane or helicopter
ACTIVITY LEVEL ride to see glaciers, and even just shopping. A tour operator
is located in the hotel lobby to assist in booking these trips.
These trips do require mobility without the use of wheelchairs and scooters
because the ship has steep stairwells and no elevators. If you have limited
mobility, you are required to travel with someone who can assist you. OLIVIA’S
