The last frontier
Windstar Cruises announced plans to sail to Alaska in spring/summer 2018, with voyages starting at 11 days. Guests can sail through Misty Fjords National Monument and Kenai Fjords National Park, experiences usually booked via a shore excursion because the “big ships” just don’t go there.
Each Windstar Alaska itinerary includes sailing through Tracy Arm Fjord joined by park rangers, scientists, glaciologists, geologists, and other experts who will be aboard each cruise to provide education, perspective, one-on-one discussions, and ample opportunities for individual discovery in America’s “last frontier.”
