Unparalleled access to one of nature’s most diverse playgroundsOur sleek, nimble ship can hug the shore and venture into secluded inlets that would be off limits to a larger vessel. We will bring you about as close as you can safely get to the massive glaciers, spar-kling waterfalls, and forested islands that characterize this remote region of Alaska.

Wildlife so close you can hear them breatheBy kayak or by skiff, you’ll be able to enjoy the wonders of Alaska up close and personal. See the spray as whales exhale only yards away. Observe bears fishing for salmon as they make their way upstream. Engage in a friendly game of hide and seek with some playful harbor seals. You will see Alaska and its wildlife at eye level.

A wealth of knowledge at your fingertipsAn Orbridge expedition leader plus two naturalists will accompany you throughout your expedition, pro-viding on board lectures and im-promptu lessons on topics ranging from geology to marine mammal feeding habits. In addition, a Park Ranger from Glacier Bay National Park will join us overnight, provid-ing in-depth information about this protected wilderness reserve.

Peaceful evenings in hidden covesIn the evenings, our engines will be off while we lie at anchor in hidden coves and savor the still-ness. You may want to use this opportunity to drop a fishing line from the stern or to search the night sky for the Northern Lights. Perhaps start the next day with an early paddle in the morning mist.

Experience the wonders of Alaskaup close and personal.

Highlights of our 8-day

Alaska’s Inside Passage

Adventure

Travel amongst friends

Live and learn

Hear lectures and be accompa-nied throughout the journey by an Orbridge Expedition Leader, who will speak about the ecosystem and flora and fauna of this primal wilderness.

Travel with people who share a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for new experiences.

Raw power, untamed beauty

Witness the raw beauty of the Alaskan coast, rimmed with snow-capped mountains, thick forests and massive glaciers.

Sail on a deluxe, 36 guest vessel and experience the breathtaking fjords and quiet bays in ways only dreamt of by passengers on the mega-ships.

In the Inside Passage you may see some of the most charismatic mammals of North America including grizzly bears, moose, Dall sheep, seals, sea otters, orcas and humpback whales.

See where they roam

NAlaska’s Inside Passage Alaska is a destination of superlatives – most rugged, most remote, most majestic. For centuries, travelers have made difficult, danger-ous journeys to explore - and to exploit - this harsh and beautiful land. The inexorable forces of nature are on full display here - mountains eroded by the crushing force of massive glaciers, icebergs crowding cold aquamarine seas, and the reproductive cycles of plants and animals com-pressed into the scant, warm weeks of an arctic summer.

Day 1: Arrive in Juneau / Embarkation After your arrival in Juneau, transfer

from the airport to the Safari Explor-er for a late afternoon embarkation. Your crew greets you with champagne and smiles, and we’ll cruise to a secluded wilderness anchorage this evening. (D)

Day 2: Icy Strait and Point AdolphusSearch for the tell-tale blow of the humpback whale as

we cross Icy Strait and round Point Adolphus. After anchoring for the evening in a remote bay, we’ll lower the kayaks and skiffs and look for wildlife such as sea otters and bears. (B,L,D)

Days 3–4: Glacier Bay National ParkDuring our two days in the park, we’ll cruise nearly 60 miles to Grand Pacific and

Margerie Glaciers, which frequently calve huge icebergs into the bay. Conditions permitting, we’ll lower the inflatables and weave among the icebergs that have fallen from the face of the glaciers. Enjoy evenings at anchor in hidden coves, and mornings kayaking or hiking in the quiet of this majestic wilder-ness. Here in the bay there are puffins, sea lions, mountain goats, bears, moose, eagles, and some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth. (B,L,D)

Day 5: Chatham StraitAnchored in a remote bay off Chichagof Island, we’ll take

time to skiff and kayak in our tranquil bay, and per-haps explore one of the many waterfalls for returning salmon or the telltale sign of bears. Once back on board, we’ll continue down Chatham Strait in search of more marine mammals such as the Dall’s porpoise, which approach the vessel to bow ride. This evening, we’ll anchor in a quiet, picturesque bay off Baranof Island. (B,L,D)

Day 6: Frederick Sound / Admiralty Island Explore the cool, forested shoreline of Gambier Bay, a

large, island-speckled body of water on the south coast of Admiralty Island National Monument. Never logged, the thick evergreen forest crowds right down to the gravel beaches. Here it may be possible to

see some of the famous Admiralty Island grizzly bears, known to patrol the beaches at low tide, seeking a shellfish supper. Once again under way, we’ll watch for humpback whales before possibly anchoring at Wood Spit for more exploration by kayak and skiff. (B,L,D)

Day 7: Ford’s Terror & Endicott Arm

Deep glacial fjords are on display today in an area

widely acclaimed as the most beautiful in all of Alaska. Snow gleams on high moun-taintops and sparkling waterfalls tumble down cliffs as bears amble on the shoreline and moun-tain goats cling to impossibly precarious perches. If the tide is right, enjoy a skiff ride at Ford’s Terror, named after an early mariner who was somewhat taken aback when a waterfall appeared at the turn of the tide where none had been visible before. We’ll anchor overnight in a quiet harbor to enjoy the Captain’s Farewell Dinner in a lovely and peaceful setting. (B,L,D)

Day 8: Return to Juneau / DisembarkationArrive back in Juneau in the early morning, and transfer to the airport for return flights home. (B)

Your Leader & Guide

L iz grew up exploring the shores of Puget Sound and the waters of the

Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound. Wanting to see more of the Pacific Coast, upon graduation from college she went to Southeast Alaska as a deckhand aboard a boat. In the ensuing years, she apprenticed herself to research projects on birds, marine algae, and a variety of marine mammals; worked as a kayak guide; and for the past ten years has worked as a marine educator and naturalist. Liz brings with her a wide-ranging fascination for the world and an interest

in how literature and natural history can together encour-age empathy, understanding, and curiosity. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and is the author of two collections of poetry: Approaching Ice (Persea, 2010), and Interpretive Work (Arktoi Books, 2008). A former Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, her poems have been published in The Atlantic Monthly, Orion, Poetry, and elsewhere. She lives on Cape Cod, where she assists with research on whales and seals and is a member of Cape Cod Stranding Network.

In addition, we recommend you consider obtaining a policy that will cover some of your losses associated with damage or loss of luggage or personal effects. If you do not have and are interested in travel and cancellation insurance please contact us immediately during registration.

e. Cancelled ProgramsOrbridge reserves the right to cancel any program prior to departure for any rea-son whatsoever, including insufficient participation or logistical problems that may impede program operations. The refund of all program price payments received shall release Orbridge from any further liability. A program with insufficient participation would normally be cancelled a minimum of 90 days prior to departure. Orbridge makes substantial payments to its suppliers (hotels, transportation companies, etc) far in advance of the scheduled program departure date. If a program is cancelled due to force majeure (e.g. acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc). Orbridge will promptly refund the portion of the program price not already advanced to suppliers and use its best efforts to recover and refund the balance as promptly as possible. However, Orbridge does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and its use of best efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of any legal proceedings in foreign jurisdictions outside of Washington State. Orbridge is not responsible for any expenses incurred by program participants in preparing for a cancelled program (e.g. non-refundable advance pur-chase air tickets, visa fees, medical expenses, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements should the program participant have embarked prior to the scheduled group departure date.

f. Itineraries Accommodations (hotel or vessel) and arranged excursions are subject to change at any time due to unforeseen circumstances or circumstances beyond Orbridge’s con-trol. Every effort will be made to operate programs as planned, but alterations may occur after the final itinerary has been issued. Orbridge reserves the right to withdraw a program or any part of it, to make such alterations to the itinerary or program inclu-sions as it deems necessary or desirable, and to pass on to program members any expenditures or losses caused by delays or events beyond its control. Orbridge also reserves the right to withdraw or modify a program if required by the tour operator with whom Orbridge has contracted.

g. Not IncludedUnless otherwise specifically noted in the itinerary, program prices do not include the following expenses, which if applicable are your responsibility: trip cancellation insurance and passenger travel protection plan; domestic, international, and internal airfares; transfers and luggage handling except in connection with scheduled group flights; costs associated with obtaining passports or entry visas; airport departure taxes; airline ticketing fees; airport transfers when arriving/departing on other than scheduled group dates; excess baggage charges; any new value added taxes or GST taxes added to program costs by foreign governments; gratuities to drivers, guides, or ship’s crew; meals and beverages other than those specified as being included free of charge in the itinerary; sightseeing not included in the itinerary; personal expenses such as laundry, communication charges and optional activities (which are subject to availability); and ship, air, or transportation fuel surcharges, if applicable.

You must be in good physical and mental health. You agree that you have no physical, mental or other condition of disability that would create a hazard for yourself or other passen-gers or otherwise negatively impact other passengers. Orbridge reserves the right to decline to accept anyone that it considers unsuitable due to fitness level. Orbridge

also reserves the right to remove from the program, at the participant’s own expense, anyone whose condition is such that it could create a hazard to himself or herself or others, or otherwise impact the enjoyment of other passengers on the program. Any physical condition requiring special attention, diet, or treatment must be reported in writing when the reservation is made. Should you have any questions or need any clar-ification about a specific program, please ask for details at the time of registration.

i. Travel Advisories and WarningsIt is the responsibility of each guest to become informed about the most current travel advisories and warnings by visiting the U. S. State Department’s travel website at http://www.travel.state.gov or contacting the U.S. State Department directly. In the event of an active State Department Travel Warning against travel to the specific des-tination location(s) of the program, should the Guest choose to travel to the location anyway, without limiting any other liability exclusion provisions in these Terms, you assume all risk of personal injury, death or property damage that may arise out of the events that are the same or similar to those advised or warned against.

j. Baggage Program rates include the handling of two pieces of baggage per person during the land or cruise program. Weight restrictions on some routes on internal air flights may apply. Your baggage and personal effects are at your own risk throughout the travel program. Please check with your international carrier for other baggage restrictions applicable to international flights.

k. Travel DocumentsFor U.S. citizens, valid passports are required for travel to foreign destinations and some countries require specific visas prior to entry. Check with Orbridge with any questions, but it remains your responsibility to verify that you have all the appropriate travel documents for your nationality and sufficient blank pages in your passport for visas and immigration stamps. Orbridge is not liable for any expenses or costs arising from a traveler being prohibited from entering a country scheduled to be visited on a program or from being prohibited reentry into the United States.

l. Photos and VideosOrbridge and its designated representatives or tour operators reserve the right to take photographs or videos during any program or tour and to use the resulting pho-tography which may include images of you for promotional purposes.

m. ArbitrationAny controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any services or products offered or obtained through Orbridge, including without limitation any claim related to bodily injury, death or property damage, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy.

n. ResponsibilitiesNeither Orbridge (or any sponsoring organization), nor any of its respective em-ployees, members, managers, shareholders, officers or directors (collectively, the “Orbridge Group”) own or operate any entity which does or will provide goods or services for your program. Orbridge Group purchases transportation, hotel and other lodging accommodations, restaurant, ground handling and other services from vari-ous independent suppliers, all of whom are independent contractors. The Orbridge Group shall not be liable for any injury, expenses or costs arising from any services, or lack thereof, provided by any independent supplier or other third party, nor the standards of care which you experience when using those services. In addition and without limitation, the Orbridge Group shall not be liable for any injury, loss, death, inconvenience, delay or damage to personal property in connection with the provi-sion of any goods or services, including without limitation those whether resulting from acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of war, civil unrest, insurrec-tion or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food poisoning, mechanical or other failure of aircraft, vessels or other means of transportation or for failure of any means of transportation to arrive or depart on time. Dates, program details and costs, although given in good faith and based on tariffs, exchange rates and other information current at the time of printing, are subject to change at or before the time of departure. While we do not anticipate material revisions of the itinerary or its included features, we do reserve the right to substitute accommodations or modes of transportation and to make any changes in the itinerary where deemed necessary, and in that case any additional expenses will be paid by the individual guest. Where applicable, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Orbridge Group (whether in contract, warranty, tort (including but not limited to negligence), product liability, strict liability or other theory) arising out of or relating to the use of services exceed the amount you actually paid Orbridge for the program or tour out of which the claim arose. Your baggage and personal effects are your sole responsibility at all times. There are many inherent risks in travel, which can lead to illness, injury, or even death. These risks are increased by the fact that some of the programs we book take place in remote locations, far from medical facilities. You assume all such risks associated with participating in this program.

Acceptance of Contract: ANY PAYMENT TO ORBRIDGE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEPOSITS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT HEREIN AND IN MORE SPECIFIC TOUR DOCUMENTS.
