About Clarity Cruise Tours

Founded in 2008 by marine biologist Dr. Sarah Mitchell and veteran captain James Richardson, Clarity Cruise Tours emerged from a shared passion for Alaska's pristine wilderness and a commitment to sustainable tourism. What began as a small operation with a single 24-passenger vessel has grown into Alaska's premier boutique cruise experience.

Our company specializes in intimate, small-group expeditions that provide unparalleled access to remote fjords, hidden glacial bays, and pristine wildlife habitats. Unlike massive cruise ships that overwhelm destinations, our carefully crafted itineraries limit groups to just 12-24 guests, ensuring personalized attention and minimal environmental impact.

We pride ourselves on our team of certified naturalist guides, each holding advanced degrees in marine biology, glaciology, or environmental science. Our captains average over 20 years of Alaska waters experience, ensuring both safety and access to the most spectacular, lesser-known locations.

Clarity Cruise Tours is certified by the Alaska Travel Industry Association, holds a Perfect Safety Record with the U.S. Coast Guard, and is a proud member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), reflecting our commitment to responsible polar tourism practices.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We've been on several Alaska cruises, but nothing compared to Clarity's intimate approach. Watching grizzly bears fish for salmon from just 50 yards away, kayaking alongside seals, and learning from world-class naturalists made this worth every penny. Already planning our return trip!"

"As a retired professor, I appreciated the scientific depth of our guides' knowledge. The boat's small size allowed us to access glacial bays that cruise ships can't reach. The photography opportunities were endless, and the luxury amenities made roughing it in the wilderness surprisingly comfortable."
