The Boat Company

WINNER

In a world of mass tourism and mega-cruises, The Boat Company offers something rare: a nonprofit, conservation-focused voyage through Alaska’s wild Inside Passage. With just 20–24 guests aboard beautifully appointed small ships, these all-inclusive cruises deliver intimate access to the Tongass National Forest—the largest temperate rainforest in the world.

This isn’t just a way to travel; it’s a journey with purpose. Guests explore secluded coves, glacier-fed streams, and ancient native lands unreachable by road or large vessels. Daily excursions include guided hikes, kayaking, wildlife viewing, and gourmet meals crafted onboard.

More than an adventure, each trip supports a greater mission. As the only nonprofit cruise operator in Alaska, The Boat Company reinvests its proceeds into environmental advocacy and protection of the very places it explores.

It’s meaningful, immersive, and unforgettable—travel with heart, by sea.
