 | Earlier this month, Ronnie and I celebrated his 60th birthday and our 39th wedding anniversary by combining his favorite activity (fishing) with my favorite activity (cruising) on a once-in-a-lifetime voyage in Southeastern Alaska on the tiny, 24-passenger Mist Cove of The Boat Company. | |
Mist Cove Travel Journal
The Mist Cove of The Boat Company sails 7-day Alaska cruises between Juneau and Sitka, offering passengers the opportunity to explore a small part of the Tongass National Forest region of Southeast Alaska. The weekly schedule is flexible, but whichever quiet coves, hidden meadows, or sparkling rivers the Mist Cove Captain chooses, the passengers can enjoy hiking, fishing, kayaking and just marveling at the magnificent wilderness scenery and wildlife.
| Mist Cove Ship Profile and Tour
The heavy-duty aluminum, 24-passenger Mist Cove is only 157 feet long and 33 feet wide, with a draft of 9 feet. The interior is classic, comfortable, and plush, with mahogany accents throughout.Her small size enables her to enter many fascinating areas of SE Alaska that would be inaccessible to larger ships.
| Glacier Day on the Mist Cove
The Mist Cove visits a glacier on one day each week of its 7-day voyages. After kayaking in the early morning, we boarded the Mist Cove's small 20-foot skiffs to explore the Dawes Glacier area of Endicott Arm. The glacier was actively calving, and we nibbled on homemade cookies and sipped hot chocolate laced with peppermint schnapps or Bailey's as we watched the show.

Bears, eagles, whales, and magnificent mountain and meadow scenery -- that's what you will see on most Alaska cruises. The small ship Mist Cove cruise was no different, as we had more "up close" time with a mama bear than we wanted. More About Cruises Articles Follow
