Trip Summary

May be combined with Northern Ring of Fire: Kamchatka & Kuril Islands

On this remarkable cruise aboard the Clipper Odyssey, we'll explore some of the most remote places on Earth - the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands followed by the Kamchatka Peninsula - showcasing a wild and pristine Alaska few travelers get to witness. The history of WWII in Alaska unfolds as we explore Attu, Kiska, and Adak Islands and note rusted military artifacts amid fields of vividly-hued wildflowers. And, aboard Zodiacs we investigate secret coves and picture-perfect bays in search of seabirds, brown bears, and Arctic foxes.
