DISCOVER ALASKA H urtigruten is offering five brand-new itineraries among seven departure dates to Alaska in the summer of 2020. Guests can choose between cruising along the meandering Alaskan coastline and weaving in and out of the Aleutian Islands — including a jaunt through the Inside Passage. You’ll search for abundant wildlife, such as humpback whales, horned puffins, brown bears and bald eagles, gaze upon untouched wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see and observe remarkable landscapes, including snow-capped mountains, calving glaciers, virgin forests and icy fjords. Their enrichment-based approach to expedition cruising is markedly different than going to Alaska on a large cruise ship. On these longer, more in-depth itineraries, you’ll visit remote, rarely visited destinations, offering you an intimate visit with Alaskan culture and local wildlife. Hurtigruten offers several excursions at each port, both included and optional, that have been designed to bring you close to the wonders of the 49th state: From hiking and kayaking to cultural tours of remote towns, there’s truly something for everyone.
