Alaska—Adventure Untamed
Unbridled wildlife, rugged mountains, and fresh air—the wild frontier is calling. Alaska is not far away, but a world apart from the daily life that you know and live.

A voyage on a small ship expedition cruise with us allows you to experience countless delights as well as the hidden gems that make Alaska unlike anywhere else. Together we will sail along the most spectacular, inaccessible, and remote coast of Alaska, and explore the maze of islands, mountains, glaciers, inlets and fjords. Hurtigruten Expeditions cruises will take you past the Aleutians, brave the waters of the mighty Bering Sea, and land at the seldom visited islands of St Paul and St Matthew.
In Alaska, you'll enjoy the best wildlife viewing North America has to offer, observing such iconic animals as grizzlies, black bears, whales, orcas, Bald Eagles, sea otters, moose, caribous, and countless numbers of seabirds of all kinds. On land, visit small towns and isolated settlements, meet the mixed communities of native peoples and later newcomers. Learn about their history, culture and beliefs, and experience first-hand the dwarfing sensation of living in this Great Land.
For every new purchase of a Hurtigruten Expeditions Alaska cruise through December 31, Hurtigruten Foundation will donate 1% of the purchase price to the Alaska Wilderness League. Alaska Wilderness League stands with, serves and supports the many people and organizations that believe in a sustainable future for Alaska.
Alaska is a land framed by vast forestland and towering mountain ranges, a place of breathtaking beauty. Our Expedition Team will lead you on activities that will bring you closer to this vast land through hiking, kayaking, small-boat (RIB) cruising, and other shore excursions.
Our landings and activities help you connect with the places you see. The town tours and visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites enlighten you on the history and culture of the Alaskan people.
Alaska is a wild paradise, it offers its visitors breathtaking views and diverse habitats for its wildlife. Bears fish for salmon in the rivers while deer wander the forests and golden eagles swoop above the plains. Alaskan waters are teeming with life. You might see whales, porpoises, dolphins, or even large colonies of sea lions.
Adventure Green Alaska (AGA) is a certification program that defines sustainable tourism as travel to natural areas that benefits local economies, respects the environment, and is sensitive to indigenous cultures.
Hurtigruten is so proud to have earned this distinction.
