Today marks the first day in National Geographic Quest’s exploration of the narrow waterways of Canada. Anchoring outside of Prince Rupert early in the morning, we made our required customs stop before getting back into the wilderness of British Columbia for the rest of the week. Guests spent the morning ashore, wandering around the shops and walking trails that surround Cow Bay Marina. We enjoyed the sunshine, a rare visitor to these temperate rainforest skies. After lunch, National Geographic Quest once again set sail southwards towards Seattle through the Inside Passage.

Inian Islands and Port Althorp, Southeast Alaska
As we made our way out of Glacier Bay, we turned towards the mouth of the Inside Passage to take in the splendor of the Icy Strait. First, we Zodiac cruised around the Inian Islands, one of the most spectacular cruises in Southeast Alaska. Then we turned into Port Althorp where we made landfall to hike and kayak in the protected arm outside the massive tidal swings.

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
Glacier Bay National Park pulled out all the stops for the guests of National Geographic Quest today. We started our day with four brown bears before enjoying a fantastic brunch. As the day went on, we were treated with calving glaciers, fantastic terns, brilliantly sunny skies for a watercolor workshop on the sun deck, and more animals than we could count. 10/10 expedition day!
