In the year 2025, we travelled all the way to Canada and Alaska for another long and unforgettable journey. We enjoy expeditions across the oceans, where we have the opportunity to reach places that otherwise only exist in dreams and on maps.

In Vancouver, we boarded the expeditions ship MS Roald Amundsen. Our journey took us through the legendary Inside Passage, through Alaska's almost deserted fjord landscape to the remote Aleutian Islands and finally across the Bering Sea up to the small gold mining town of Nome. From there, we returned via Seattle back home to Munich.

First, the ship winds its way between deep fjords and forest-covered islands, where fog often hangs thick between the trees, to a place called Misty Fjords. However, we had sunny and fine weather! It would certainly have been more mysterious if it had been foggy. There we wandered through a fairytale-like, humid rainforest until we reached a hidden waterfall - Rainbow Falls - which plunged down over mossy cliffs.

Out on the open sea, we saw whales breaking the surface with powerful leaps, sending cascades of water exploding around them.

We also saw many other animals, such as grizzly bears, musk oxen, sea lions and fur seals. Bald eagles sat in a treetop, and later we saw two on the church towers in Dutch Harbor.
