The Inside Passage in Alaska’s south-east is synonymous with cruising. At Steppes we offer a range of expeditionary voyages aboard small ships that allow for intimate and in-depth exploration.
From this floating base, not only sail through the scenery but get up close exploring on foot or by small boat, through forests and muskeg, along deserted beaches or next to towering glaciers. With a sparse population, ancient forests, glaciers and salmon-rich rivers, this is a wonderful region for wildlife. The Inside Passage is made up of over a thousand named islands and hundreds of islets, and is home to the Tlingit and Haida first nation’s peoples.
Unveiling some of the most visually stunning landscapes in Alaska, this small-ship voyage through the famed Inside Passage journeys far beyond the tourist trail to winding fjords and dramatic glacial landscapes, providing exclusive front row seats to brown and black bear sightings and the most spectacular concentrations of humpback whales in the Northern Hemisphere.
Utilising charter flights and nimble boats to travel between arguably the most visually stunning landscapes in Alaska – Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Glacier Bay and Frederick Sound – this beyond the ordinary adventure offers an in-depth insight (not to mention a remarkable birds’ eye view) of the state’s most iconic landscapes.

I was inspired to travel south from an early age. My form teacher when I was nine made us listen to tapes from Shackleton’s expeditions, I didn’t know it at the time, but it obviously left a deep impression on my psyche.
