Cruise from Seward along the spectacular eastern coast of the Alaska Peninsula and into the Bering Sea. Along the way Zodiac excursions showcase Katmai's brown bears; colonies of horned and tufted puffins, whiskered auklets, northern fulmars, and sea eagles; thousands of fur seals and Steller's sea lions hauled out on scenic beaches; and pods of orca and minke whales. Walk across tunda covered in wildflowers; visit the world's largest Aleut community, and Russian villages in the Pribilofs; and examine the relics of WWII history in the far-flung Aleutians, including Attu Island, the western-most point of Alaska, and scene of the only land battle fought on U.S. soil.

Begin in Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka and cruise southward along the Kamchatka Peninsula crowned with 300 volcanoes. In Zodiacs, trace the stunning coast and watch for seals, brown bears, and horned puffins. Sea otters and their pups may gather in the Kuril Strait as we sail among the rugged and rarely visited Kuril Islands surrounded by swirling mists and soaring volcanoes. Ashore visit stunning lakes and lagoons, hidden harbors with ghost-like WWII remains, and beaches covered with northern fur seals and Steller's sea lions. On Russia's tiny Tyuleniy Island observe astonishing numbers of wildlife, and on Sakhalin Island a Russian town welcomes us with a traditional choir performance.
