Skiing and I Think to Myself What A Wonderful World Poster

Today, the most common day trip is round trip eight hours, or to Wonder Lake and back – 11 hours, and many of those taking these trips are cruise-ship passengers. This year, for the second year in a row, there will be no big ships in Alaska as Transport Canada has banned almost all cruise activities in Canadian waters until February. 2022, canceling many trips that begin or end in Vancouver or stop at Canadian ports.

While this is a devastating blow to the Alaska economy, families who don’t want to wait until 2022 have the opportunity to see Alaska a different way, and spend more time in and around Denali National Park, as well as elsewhere.

The largest players in the region — Holland America Line and Princess Cruises — have committed to operating their Alaska-based lodges this year while adventure companies like ROAM adventures are adding new very small, remote Alaskan Lodge & Flying adventures.

Small ships, like those operated by UnCruise Adventures will be able to sail as scheduled as the company’s vessels have fewer than 100 passengers and crew and have already implemented a COVID safety framework, including multiple required tests. Vaccines are strongly encouraged but, thus far, aren’t required. (UnCruise Adventures will offer a special deal of $500 off their current bookings for cruisers who have had their 2021 cruise canceled on larger ships, with proof of their cruise cancellation.)

Adventure Smith Explorations also offers small-ship and other Alaska adventures, including yachts potentially available just for your group. (There are 33 cruises and 11 land tours to choose from.) Adventure Smith Explorations founder Todd Smith notes that the regulations are confusing and many people do not realize that Alaska small-ship cruises will be able to operate as planned.

Also, while some of these trips may seem more expensive than a big ship, the price evens out, because they are all-inclusive.

“We have been fielding quite a few inquiries the past month or so from travelers seeking shorter, more independent lodge-based stays,” said Amy LaHaie of Alaska Wildland Adventures, which operates three wilderness lodges and trips that go from the Kenai Peninsula to Denali. “It seems travelers are less eager to travel as part of a group with other travelers outside their family bubbles but are still interested in shorter vacation packages with at least a partially guided aspect,” she observed.

The summer of 2019, we spent a few magical days kayaking, canoeing and just taking in the views and wildlife at the small (just 18 cabins and 40 guests) Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge within the national park and accessible only by boat from Seward. We watched whales and puffins on the way!
