Sail aboard the Clipper Odyssey and visit the remote islands and coastlines of the Bering Sea and their wealth of North Pacific wildlife - seabirds, walrus, Arctic fox, and bears. In these rich waters, large pods of whales congregate: minke, orca, fin, sei, and humpback. On the Pribilof Islands, some 750,000 breeding northern fur seals are testimony to the protection of a species once nearly hunted to extinction. During your adventure, the Clipper Odyssey ceremoniously crosses the Arctic Circle, and you'll explore Alaska's majestic Aleutian Islands, watch for bears along the hidden bays of Katmai National Park, and step ashore in Kodiak, the first capital of Russia's North American colonies. On St. Lawrence Island you will be the welcome guests of a Siberian Yupik community.
