InnerSea Discoveries - Small Ship Alaska Cruise on the Wilderness Discoverer

InnerSea Discoveries is a small ship Alaska cruise line. I sailed on one of the company's three active-adventure ships, the 76-passenger Wilderness Discoverer, and loved the flexibility of the Inside Passage itinerary, the enthusiasm and skill of the crew, and the experiences I shared with my fellow passengers.

Our 7-night cruise from Ketchikan to Juneau included all the things those who travel to Southeast Alaska hope to see and do. We saw humpback whales bubble-net feeding (twice!), orcas, dozens of eagles, and many other types of wildlife. In addition, we got close to a glacier on a small boat, hiked in the rain forest and across the muskeg, and kayaked in quiet coves inaccessible to large ships.

Southeast Alaska is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled places in the world, and can best be enjoyed by water. A small ship like the Wilderness Discoverer is a perfect alternative for those who don't think they would enjoy a large ship cruise experience or who love activities like small boating, hiking, and kayaking.
