10-night Radiant Alaska Voyage

Hoonah's founding people, the Huna Tlingit people, originally occupied Glacier Bay, but relocated due to advancing glaciers into the city's current place along the Inside Passage. Tall evergreens cover the mountains along the coast, and across the Icy Strait twenty-five miles north is Glacier Bay National Park, one of the seven small wonders of the world. Hoonah is a prime location to view birds and wildlife, as it hosts the largest brown bear population in the world, in addition to opportunities to view bald eagles and humpback whales.

Seventy-five miles long and covering over 1,350 square miles in area, the Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. It is also one of the most impressive, a 300-foot wall of ice rising sheer and jagged from the ocean. You may hear the rumble and see the monumental splash as the glacier breaks off in great ice chunks, known as "calves."

So called due to its origin "Outside" the Inside Passage, these outer islands of the Alexander Archipelago form one of the most wild, beautiful and little-explored temperate rainforest coastal ecosystems on Earth.
