Mat & Dryck
Måltiderna på Westward är en central del av upplevelsen och består av hälsosamma, färska rätter tillagade med lokala råvaror från Alaska. Menyn fokuserar på ekologiska och oprocessade livsmedel som speglar regionens naturliga rikedom i en mysig och gemensam miljö.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Westward focuses on immersive land-based exploration and nature observation rather than underwater activities. Guests are led by expert naturalists on guided shore excursions, including hikes through pristine coastal forests, visits to remote inlets, and cultural explorations of local Alaskan communities. Water-based activities are limited to kayaking, allowing guests to silently approach glaciers and observe marine life from the surface. The pace is designed to be contemplative and educational, ensuring minimal impact on the fragile ecosystems visited during the expedition.

Booking & Travel FAQ
How does the booking process work?
Select a cabin and departure on Westward, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.
When do I need to pay?
A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.
What documents will I receive?
