Average time to visit
Alaska is open for business year round, however, there is very little traffic during the extremely cold winter months. The best time to travel is between June and September although cruises depart as early as April. June to September benefits from warmer temperatures and more hours of daylight per day. The ship is in operation on itineraries from April to September and operates on set departure dates.

Today you will take your private transfer (either helicopter or seaplane) to Sonora Lodge, where you will be staying for the next three nights.

Sonora is in a wonderfully secluded location with a wealth of experiences at your doorstep.
