The inaugural voyage of Lindblad Expeditions’ National Geographic Quest set sail yesterday from Juneau on an eight-day journey through Southeast Alaska.
The 100-passenger ship will sail through the popular “Exploring Alaska’s Coastal Wilderness” itinerary through August 26, and will finish off the Alaska season with “Treasures of the Inside Passage: Alaska and British Columbia” set to departure September 2, 2017.
The ship will continue to travel throughout the Pacific Northwest in a series of new trips between Seattle and Vancouver. It will make stops in the San Juan Islands, Victoria, Alert Bay, and other far reaching stops in British Columbia’s channels and fjords. Commencing in December 2017, she will travel south for treks in Costa Rica and Panama before new voyages in Belize and Guatemala starting in February, 2018.
