People from Kake visited us on board in the morning; singing, dancing, and sharing stories about their regalia and Łingít culture. The rest of the morning, we visited Kake, where we could see the world’s tallest totem pole, and have a closer look at traditional clothing, weaving, and craftsmanship at the community centre.

In the afternoon guests went on a Zodiac cruise in between small spruce-clad islands and into shallow river mouths and quiet coves. Eagles watched us from the treetops, and some guests were lucky and saw black bears grazing along the shore. Sailing into the Chatham Strait, guests enjoyed the onboard program, with Liars Club in the Explorer Lounge.
