Saturday, 31 May 2025 Klawock, Alaska
As a town of less than 1,000 residents, idyllic Klawock is a true Alaska pioneer town and Oceania Cruises will be the very first cruise line to call on it. Untouched and full of wildlife, this is the Alaska seasoned travellers yearn to experience.

Totem poles are one of Ketchikan’s chief attractions, and the best places to view them are Saxman Village.
Monday, 2 June 2025 Wrangell, Alaska
Once a Tlingit Indian stronghold, then a Russian outpost, and finally an American settlement in 1867, Wrangell has endured dramatic change and honours it.
Tuesday, 3 June 2025 Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska
Hoonah means “where the north wind doesn’t blow” in the language of the Tlingit Indians. Wildlife outnumbers people here, so watch for bears, eagles, and humpback whales, which migrate here in the summer.
Wednesday, 4 June 2025 Haines, Alaska
Nestled along America’s longest fjord – the gorgeous Lynn Canal. Nature is Haines’ chief draw. Brown bears, moose and bald eagles are plentiful.
Thursday, 5 June 2025 Juneau, Alaska
For a state capital, Juneau maintains a surprising small-town charm, in part because it can only be reached by sea or air due to the surrounding wilderness. Visit Mendenhall Glacier for outdoor adventure.
Friday, 6 June 2025 Sitka, Alaska
Called “Shee Atika” by the Tlingit Indians, then “New Archangel” by the Russians who ousted them. This is where America purchased Alaska for just 2 cents an acre.
Sunday, 8 June 2025 Kodiak, Alaska
In summer, the island is a mosaic of flora that includes wildflowers, moss-laden spruce, Pacific red elder, and blueberries, which the brown bears feast on. You may also spot puffins, red foxes, and killer whales.
Monday, 9 June 2025 Homer, Alaska
Founded by gold miners in 1896, Homer still attracts adventurous travellers who love the great outdoors. It’s particularly beautiful during the summer, when wildflowers are in bloom and the hills behind town are lush green.
