Alaskan Luxury Cruises

Design an exclusive itinerary with Alaskan Luxury Cruises then set sail into the vast open waters and wildlife-rich shorelines of Southeast Alaska aboard your own spacious and private yacht.

Custom Charters in Southeast Alaska

Every itinerary aboard The Sea Mist is fully customized to suit your group’s preferences. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be welcomed by their warm and professional crew: owner and Captain Jeff Gorton, your friendly steward, and a skilled private chef. This close-knit team understands that true luxury lies in a blend of hospitality, expertise, and fun—ensuring an unforgettable Alaskan adventure from start to finish.

From the moment you book your custom adventure to the minute you set sail, you’ll feel the unique charm of small-ship cruising. Designed for just six guests, The Sea Mist offers an intimate and immersive way to experience Alaska’s breathtaking beauty. Get up close to ancient tidewater glaciers, spot orcas, Steller sea lions, sea otters, and more than 100 species of birds. Explore peaceful coves by kayak or paddleboard, stroll remote beaches, or hike through old-growth forests—all at your own pace.

Most guests enjoy the 6-day/5-night trips, but since their cruises are fully customizable, they’re happy to work with you on the timeframe that suits you best. Choose a quick 3-day/2-night getaway or an extended 10-day/9-night expedition. (Book early for those longer itineraries!)

Life Aboard The Sea Mist

You’ll be aboard The Sea Mist, an amazing 78-foot, yacht-class Knight and Carver boat with luxurious touches and state-of-the-art stabilizers to ensure a smooth ride.

The inviting salon area offers spacious and comfortable seating with a wall of windows, so you never miss the action. Guests are also welcome to visit the pilot house and chat with Captain Jeff about the region’s rich history. He founded Alaskan Luxury Cruises in 2018, but his connection to these waters runs much deeper—he first worked at a remote Alaskan lodge when he was just 12! Since then, he’s worked in commercial fishing, lodges, and charter operations. As a father of three adventurous Alaskan boys, he loves sharing his passion for the sea with kids and encourages young guests to explore and learn about the natural world while cruising.

In the evenings, guests can unwind in the cozy bar area with a movie on the big screen or head up to the flybridge to watch the midnight sun dip behind the mountains with a cozy blanket and a warm drink—a truly unforgettable Alaskan view. When it’s time to turn in, you'll find comfort and privacy in one of three well-appointed staterooms, each featuring en suite baths, plush down comforters, Egyptian cotton sheets, and ample closet space. The master suite includes a queen-size bed plus a twin—ideal for a couple and child—while the two additional staterooms each offer twin beds.

Activities & Dining

The real luxury in travel is time spent doing what you love with the people who matter most. That’s why our cruises are designed to give you the flexibility to be as adventurous—or as relaxed—as you wish.

Your private chef can lead a hands-on cooking class, teaching you how to prepare delicious, sustainable Alaskan cuisine. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, head out in a sea kayak—solo or with a guide—to paddle among icebergs and search for wildlife. You can hike with a guide and forage for wild edibles, glide across the water on a stand-up paddleboard, or even try skeet shooting from the back deck. It’s your adventure!

Back on board, every meal is an experience. You'll enjoy locally inspired, custom-prepared cuisine made with organic ingredients sourced from nearby farms whenever possible. Mornings begin with made-to-order breakfasts—think Alaskan-style eggs benedict—followed by light, fresh seafood lunches. In the evening, unwind with a relaxed appetizer hour, then indulge in formal dinners crafted by your private chef. Menus may feature dishes like filet mignon, king crab legs, hearty seafood stews, prime rib French dip, and fresh-caught shrimp.
