Our final day on the water brought nothing but clear skies and smiles. As we cruised toward Petersburg, we were treated to a distant view of the LeConte Glacier, its brilliant blue ice glinting in the sunlight, and the iconic silhouette of Devil’s Thumb towering above the surrounding peaks—a fitting sendoff from Southeast Alaska.

We arrived in Petersburg before noon, giving everyone plenty of time to stroll the quaint town, grab last-minute souvenirs, and enjoy a final walk among the colorful buildings and friendly locals.

As guests wandered the streets or relaxed aboard their boats, there was a shared sense of quiet reflection. Two incredible weeks, filled with rare wildlife, glacier encounters, peaceful anchorages, and warm camaraderie—it’s no wonder the words most often heard were: “We can’t believe how lucky we’ve been.”

With hearts full and cameras full, we wrap this leg of the adventure in gratitude and awe.
