A DAY IN THE LIFE

ON EXPEDITION IN ALASKA Venture far beyond Alaska’s busy ports and piers to roadless places where glaciers sparkle, mountains soar and epic wildlife roams. You’ll be guided by the rhythms of the wilderness, experiencing it from every angle without another ship in sight. Breakfast: Savor Your Meal, Soak in a View Epic scenery is everywhere in Alaska, and at a fjord-side breakfast, you might be treated to views of tumbling waterfalls or electric-blue icebergs as you enjoy fresh bread and pastries, a made-to-order omelet or other delicious dishes from the buffet.

Morning Excursion: Exploring at Water Level Join a naturalist aboard a Zodiac and speed toward a glistening glacier that peeks through a bend in the fjord. Or board a kayak or paddleboard and glide across these iceberg-studded waters, on the lookout for otters, bald eagles and harbor seals.

Talks and Photo Tips Head to the lounge for a presentation by your certified photo instructor or another member of your expedition team. Your undersea specialist may reveal footage of the vibrant marine life hidden beneath Alaska’s nutrient-rich waters, while naturalists share insights into topics ranging from local orca pods to the area’s glaciology.

Lunch: A Fresh Catch Ship chefs use fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, including locally grown produce and fresh-caught fish. Savor an Alaska-inspired lunch, like a grilled salmon sandwich or a salad featuring wild berries.

Afternoon Excursion: Rainforest Walk Put your new photo tips to the test during a walk through Tongass National Forest, exploring with our special access permits. Snap pictures as you stroll amid blooming wildflowers, or choose a path less traveled, bushwhacking through thick brush.

Downtime: On Whale Watch With free time, take advantage of the ship’s amenities: Read up on regional flora in the library, visit the open bridge or stand on deck to watch for wildlife. If whales are active nearby, your captain may linger so you can watch their behaviors. When conditions are right, a naturalist drops a hydrophone that lets you listen in on their underwater communications.

Ready for Recap Gather in the lounge for drinks and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the nightly recap and a preview of tomorrow’s adventures. On select departures, you may be joined by a representative from the Alaska Whale Foundation, who shares fascinating insights into humpback whale behavior and the ongoing research helping to protect these remarkable animals.

Dinner: Crab Feast A culinary event that always earns rave reviews is the Dungeness crab feast—a mouth-watering taste of Alaska’s wild bounty, washed down with local craft beers.

Adventures Under the Midnight Sun Take advantage of the summer’s lingering sunlight to capture golden hour photos or look for wildlife. If you’re traveling later in the season, you may have a chance to spot the northern lights painting the night sky.

THE GREG MORTIMER EXPANDING EXPLORATION IN ALASKA In 2027, Greg Mortimer joins the Alaska fleet with three new voyages that expand the ways you can experience one of the world’s most extraordinary wild places. Purpose-built for exploration, she pairs the immersive discovery that has long defined our expeditions with thoughtfully designed spaces to relax and connect.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE WHALE SIGHTING For National Geographic Explorer Andy Szabo, every whale encounter tells a story. As Founder and Director of the Alaska Whale Foundation (AWF), he’s spent decades uncovering new insights into Alaska’s humpback whales—and sharing those discoveries with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions guests. Here, Andy reflects on his work and what he hopes every traveler takes away from these extraordinary encounters. When guests witness a humpback whale breach or bubble-net feed, it’s often the moment they’ll remember most. My hope is that they also leave with a deeper understanding of the remarkable animals they’ve encountered and the challenges they face in a changing ocean. When I began studying humpback whales, I was fascinated by their bahaviors and communications. But after the Pacific marine heatwave from 2014 to 2016, our research took on a new urgency. We began seeing fewer calves, more underweight whales and shifts in where whales were feeding, prompting us to expand our work to better understand the health of both whales and the ocean they depend on. Support from the Lindblad Expeditions–National Geographic Fund has made this longterm research possible—and it’s especially meaningful to share these discoveries with travelers. Every conversation helps connect an extraordinary wildlife encounter to the bigger picture of ocean health and conservation. For me, that’s one of the most rewarding parts of the work—and where lasting stewardship begins.

ON BOARD WITH THE ALASKA WHALE FOUNDATION On select departures, an AWF representative joins the voyage to share insights into area whale research. Guests can also contribute to whale-identification projects that support long-term monitoring and conservation initiatives.
