Alaskan Dream Cruises Begins 2025 Season in Juneau

Alaskan Dream Cruises has officially kicked off its 2025 Alaska cruising season with the launch of the Admiralty Dream’s first voyage of the year.

“Crews are busy preparing the boats and finishing up final details. Excited to kick this 2025 season off!” the company announced in a recent social media update.

The Admiralty Dream departed Juneau on May 17, 2025, offering the company’s hallmark “Last Frontier Adventure” — a seven-night expedition cruise that accommodates just 58 guests. The journey features scenic stops in Sitka, Kake, Frederick Sound, and Glacier Bay National Park.

According to Alaskan Dream Cruises, the flexible itinerary emphasizes immersive outdoor experiences, including hikes through lush rainforests, kayaking in glacial fjords, and discovering the dramatic Waterfall Coast of Baranof Island.

The voyage also makes a stop at Orca Point Lodge on Colt Island, the company’s private day-use retreat. The lodge boasts a picturesque beach setting and a marine life tank for educational viewing.

The “Last Frontier Adventure” will continue throughout the summer, with sailings available until late August. In addition to the Admiralty Dream, the Chichagof Dream — a larger ship in the fleet — will also operate this itinerary.

For the 2025 season, Alaskan Dream Cruises will deploy four vessels: the Admiralty Dream, Chichagof Dream, Alaskan Dream, and Baranof Dream. Across the summer, the company plans to offer seven unique itineraries, including a new route titled the “Wild Alaska Odyssey.”

This new journey, sailing between Sitka and Wrangell aboard the 40-passenger Alaskan Dream catamaran, explores secluded destinations such as Chatham Strait and West Admiralty Island. The cruise also includes a cultural visit to the Native Tlingit village of Kake and a stop at Fin Island Lodge — another exclusive Alaskan Dream retreat.
