Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, Canada, welcomed us this morning for the first land excursions of our voyage, Treasures of the Inside Passage. National Geographic Quest came alongside in Victoria, and guests disembarked to participate in a bevy of excursions. We had incredible, bright spring weather for cycling, walking tours, exploring world famous gardens and museums, and for sampling the best bites and brews Victoria has to offer!

Inian Islands and Port Althorp, Southeast Alaska
As we made our way out of Glacier Bay, we turned towards the mouth of the Inside Passage to take in the splendor of the Icy Strait. First, we Zodiac cruised around the Inian Islands, one of the most spectacular cruises in Southeast Alaska. Then we turned into Port Althorp where we made landfall to hike and kayak in the protected arm outside the massive tidal swings.

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
Glacier Bay National Park pulled out all the stops for the guests of National Geographic Quest today. We started our day with four brown bears before enjoying a fantastic brunch. As the day went on, we were treated with calving glaciers, fantastic terns, brilliantly sunny skies for a watercolor workshop on the sun deck, and more animals than we could count. 10/10 expedition day!
