Oceania Cruises has revealed details for its 2027 Alaska season on Oceania Riviera, with a range of voyages from Seattle and Vancouver.
The programme features seven-, 10- and 11-day voyages from May to September, including a 27-day journey from Vancouver to Tokyo.
Highlighted shore excursions for the voyages include:
- Ketchikan: Guests tour the Hump Island Oyster Company floating farm. They learn how oysters and kelp are grown, sample the products, and take part in a 60-minute cooking class.
- Ketchikan: Guests sail the Inside Passage on a king crab boat from the TV show ‘Deadliest Catch’. Seasoned fishermen haul crab pots, and guests can hold the daily catch.
- Juneau: Guests fly over the wilderness bordering Juneau on a helicopter, land near Mendenhall Glacier and drive a dogsled with professional mushers.
- Juneau: A floatplane takes guests on a glacially fed lake. They paddle across in a packraft, then hike Norris Glacier, part of the Juneau Icefield.
- Skagway: A costumed actress leads a historical tour, which ends with a Champagne toast and a guided visit to the historic Red Onion Saloon’s Brothel Museum.
- Sitka: A metal art class where guests create a sculpture to take home.
Guests can extend their Alaska cruise experience with pre- and post-cruise land programmes. The pre-cruise Discover Denali itinerary pairs three nights in Anchorage and Denali National Park with a Deluxe Dome Rail journey.
The Rocky Mountaineer: Western Wonderland excursion covers seven nights across Calgary, Banff, Kamloops and Vancouver, including two days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer and visits to Lake Louise, Yoho National Park and the Spiral Tunnels.
The three-night Vancouver: City, Sea & Summits programme includes visits to the city’s cultural landmarks and waterfront, a drive along the Sea-to-Sky Highway, a gondola ride above Howe Sound, a cruise through False Creek and a visit to Granville Island.
