Sitka-based Alaskan Dream Cruises has opened sales for its 2026 cruise season. The 2026 season will feature Alaskan Dream Cruises’ signature small-ship voyages through Southeast Alaska’s Inside Passage, offering guests intimate access to Alaska Native culture, remote communities, wilderness areas and wildlife.
With four vessels in the fleet carrying 40 to 80 passengers, Alaskan Dream Cruises will host 102 sailings with seven different sailing options. The itineraries range from five to eight nights for 2025 and into 2026. Itineraries available include:
- Five-night North to True Alaska: Crafted as a celebration of Alaskan Dream Cruises’ 10-year anniversary in 2021, this itinerary travels between Sitka and Juneau. Guests experience Alaska’s famous wildlife, wilderness bays and rainforest, kayak and skiff adventures, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and three of the Inside Passage’s most historical towns—Sitka, Skagway and Juneau.
- Seven-night Last Frontier Adventure: This popular cruise includes daily adventures like hiking rainforest trails, kayaking in a protected bay, an exploration of Baranof Island’s “Waterfall Coast” and more. Sailing one way between Sitka and Juneau, guests also visit Frederick Sound for humpback whale viewing and Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.
- Seven-night Alaska’s Glacier Bay and Island Adventure: This cruise offers premier wildlife viewing, remote wilderness exploration in Thomas Bay, a full day in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, excursions in the small fishing village of Pelican and time in historic Wrangell.
- Seven-night Alaska’s Ultimate Adventure: New to the 2025 lineup, and touted as the most adventurous itinerary yet, this cruise takes travelers on a journey between Alaskan Dream Cruises’ home port in Sitka and Alaska’s capital, Juneau. Along the way, guests will explore the remote waters of Chatham Strait, Frederick Sound, Lynn Canal and other hidden gems of the Inside Passage. Along with several opportunities for wildlife viewing, activity options include everything from more demanding hikes in the Tongass National Forest and longer kayaking tours than on other itineraries.
- Seven-night Wild Alaska Odyssey: Also new to the 2025 lineup, this itinerary takes guests between the small town of Wrangell and Alaskan Dream Cruises’ headquarters in Sitka. Though Wrangell receives flights from Alaska Airlines, it is a lesser visited Inside Passage community, as is the Alaska Native village of Kake, another port of call on this itinerary. The adventure continues in Glacier Bay National Park, the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness and other wilderness areas, where guests can hike, kayak and explore other remote locations.
Additional sailings include:
- Eight-night Ice of the Inside Passage: First launched in 2024, this cruise takes guests to get an up-close view of more than five different glaciers, including stops at Margerie, Grand Pacific, Sawyer, South Sawyer and Dawes glaciers. Cruisers also have a chance to see the Lamplugh, Reid, Herbert, Eagle and Sumdum glaciers from a distance while traversing the Inside Passage between Sitka and Juneau.
- Eight-night Alaska’s Inside Passage Sojourn: This extended itinerary allows passengers to explore Southeast Alaska from its northern end in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve to its southern end in Metlakatla. It calls on a collection of rarely visited towns and Alaska Native villages where guests experience three Southeast Alaska Indigenous cultures—Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian.
Cruise fares include accommodations on the ship, all meals during the sailing, scheduled shore excursions, airport transfers, use of recreational equipment, a complimentary glass of wine or beer with dinner and onboard services. All alcoholic beverages are included with Deluxe, Vista View and Suite bookings.
