Few places left on earth offer the traveller as much untamed scenic grandeur as the great land of Alaska. Discerning travellers will appreciate this rich itinerary that explores the many facets of Alaska; tidewater glaciers, hidden fjords, massive ice-fields and huge mountains. The MS Hanseatic will follow a flexible course as we make our way along the Inside Passages of British Columbia and Alaska, avoiding the lanes frequented by the big resort ships as much as possible.

Watch with amazement as the impressive sights of countless densely forested islands, snow-covered mountain peaks and steep cliffs come into view from the deck. We can look forward to close encounters with nature, whether it be bear watching in the wilderness or observing whales and sea lions from the deck. Witness astonishing glaciers, snowfields and thundering waterfalls as we make our way from Seward to Vancouver. With only a 180 or so like-minded souls onboard, you will be able to appreciate the peace and beauty of Alaska, explore in small parties ashore and visit places which the passengers aboard the big ships will never be taken.
