AMERICAN SAFARI CRUISES

Imagine being with whales at their own level, so close you can hear them inhale before they dive. Or waking up from a night at anchor in a quiet bay to see a bear eating huckleberries just across the water. Or picture yourself relaxing at sunset in a hot tub, enjoying a glass of fine wine while a bald eagle soars overhead.

Yacht cruising combines the up-close experience of small ships with the onboard elegance of traditional cruising. You will experience nature and adventure at water level—big ship cruising just puts you above it all.

An American Safari yacht cruise is like sailing on the private yacht of a friend who knows the best little inlets and waterways, sets a fine table, and has all the gear for great water activities. And on our yachts, you only travel by day, so you won’t miss a moment of the journey. Our evenings are spent at anchor in secluded coves. What good is breathtaking scenery if most of it slips past your window while you’re sleeping? Our evenings are spent at anchor in secluded coves. Our engines are silent so you can dream in the stillness beneath the call of loons.

You can be as active or inactive as you like. Itineraries are flexible with unparalleled spontaneity, combining expedition-style openness to adventure with a luxurious freedom from rigid schedules, so you can spend more time kayaking, hiking, or photographing icebergs, and when Alaska’s unique wildlife is spotted you don’t have to choose between enjoying it and getting to the next port on time.

Lose the crowd. Our beautiful yachts offer unique and personal journeys through the hidden places of Alaska’s Inside Passage that 99% of visitors to Alaska will never see.
