The Alaska voyages provide opportunities to view dramatic glaciers, explore forested shorelines and observe abundant wildlife. These itineraries range up to 15 nights and aim to showcase the region’s natural highlights while offering comfortable, small-ship access to remote locations.
Asian sailings introduce guests to new ports of call, including Tianjin and destinations in northern Japan. Typical onboard offerings enhance cultural context and guest engagement, with expert-led talks, regionally inspired dining and wellness treatments at The Ritz-Carlton Spa. Asian voyages vary in length, generally spanning seven to 15 nights, giving travelers flexibility to choose shorter or more in-depth explorations.
