Mothership Trips

See More of Prince William Sound by Cruising Aboard

Anadyr’s mothership trips offer the mobility to experience more of Prince William Sound’s incredible destinations. This unique approach to voyaging allows you to cruise, kayak and explore by foot while having a support vessel with comfortable accommodations and warm meals ready as you return.

We offer three-day to week-long sailings aboard several live-aboard ready vessels with captains that have a depth of experience in their craft. Itineraries include remarkable glacier experiences, wildlife hot spots and remote wilderness anchorages with astonishing views.

5-day/4-night Trip Special

Cruise, Kayak, Hike, Fish and Relax

This 5-day/4-night Prince William Sound voyage encompasses our favorite destinations and activities. Cruise aboard a well founded sailing ketch through the heart of Prince William Sound wilderness. Kayak with icebergs around the largest tidewater glacier in PWS and along the wildlife rich coasts of Glacier Island. Hike through lush forest and muskeg meadows or along a glacier terminus. Cast for salmon (in season) and enjoy your catch of the day from the grill. Relax and take in unique views from a different anchorage each evening. Coastal Alaska exploration doesn’t get any better.
