The Hubbard Glacier in southeast Alaska provides the backdrop for a comparatively tiny runabout boat collecting ancient glacial ice, which will soon become an ice sculpture aboard a cruise ship.

Alaska’s Inside Passage and Hubbard Glacier

Skip to


Set out on a journey into the wild beauty of Southeast Alaska, navigating secluded coves, mist-filled fjords and the lush reaches of the largest temperate rainforest on Earth. Explore by Zodiac, kayak and on foot as you watch for whales breaching in quiet bays, brown bears foraging along salmon streams, and bald eagles calling from towering spruce and hemlock. The voyage culminates at the mighty Hubbard Glacier, where a wall of luminous blue ice showcases Alaska’s awe-inspiring glacial power, offering a dramatic finale to this remarkable expedition.
