Trip Summary

May be combined with Northern Ring of Fire: The Bering Sea & Aleutians

Join us aboard the luxury expedition vessel Clipper Odyssey as we cruise from Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula along the Kuril Island chain to Hokkaido, Japan. History of the Cold War and Arctic explorers comes to life as we trace the Ring of Fire through the North Pacific. Spectacular scenery and an incredible array of wildlife--whales, seals, otters, and thousands of seabirds await along the deserted coves and anchorages of this seldom visited region.
