Ports

Seward

Founded in 1903, Seward was the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad. In 1964, an earthquake caused a tidal wave over 100 feet tall to wash away much of the waterfront, devastating the town. But its residents, embodying Alaska's famous spirit and fortitude, rebuilt. Today, the town of Seward is a thriving port for commercial fishing, tourism and the rail system.

Pelican

This inexhaustable fishing town is a beautiful feast for the eyes, with its white houses and crystal clear waters.

Juneau

Perched on a thin strip of land at the mouth of Gold Creek, Juneau is arguably one of America's most beautiful state capitals, with the looming summits of Mt. Juneau and Mt. Roberts providing a gorgeous backdrop.

Skagway

Few one-time boomtowns retain the flavor of the gold rush days like Skagway. This gateway to the Klondike is preserved as a national historic park with its rustic boardwalk and frontier-style storefronts. Due to its geographic location, Skagway enjoys a drier climate compared to the rest of southeastern Alaska, with an average annual precipitation of only 22 inches.

Chatham Islands


Latitude: 43°53'S
Longitude: 176°31'E

Chatham Island’s were once the home of the Moriori, in the 1820’s and 1830’s. European and American whalers and sealers began to arrive, not to mention Maori tribes from the mainland. The Moriori are believed to be Polynesians who sailed to the islands from New Zealand between 900AD and 1500AD and since the first arrival of a European in 1791 the population of Moriori dwindled to 100 by the 1860’s. By the beginning of the 20th century, there were just 12 full-blooded Moriori left. There are now believed to be around 300 Moriori descendants living amongst, Maori and Pakeha (Europeans) on the Chatham Islanders. Some of the sights to be seen include the unusual statue of the ‘Last Moriori’, Tommy Solomon.

Ketchikan

This southern-most Alaskan port city is known as Alaska's First City because it was the first major community travelers came to heading north. Founded as a fishing camp, Ketchikan is built on steep hillsides and is billed as the salmon capital of the world. A quaint village, the town is just three miles long and three blocks wide.

MS HANSEATIC

Just like the legendary discoverer, the HANSEATIC also has a passion to explore new territories and hidden places. We anchor where other ship’s only sail by, take course for those destinations that are untouched and fascinatingly foreign. Such as the Arctic, Antarctic, as well as the Gambia River, the Amazons or the Orinoco. But we also cruise South America, Mediterranean or the West European Coast: on our “Expedition of Knowledge” you will be acquainted with and understand a multiple of new experiences. As on all HANSEATIC voyages, well travelled Lecturers will also guide you here, bringing you closer to the exciting unknown and point out new interesting sights to be seen – onboard and on land.
With a discreet 5 star rating onboard, we set sail every day into new worlds. How can the beauty which nature already provides and cultural treasures from an ancient civilisation be kept alive, the HANSEATIC will bring you close up to all of these. She has a very low draught, is small and agile, reaches very flat beaches and steers safely through intricate rivers. Thanks to her 14 Zodiacs, special robust rubber dinghy’s developed for such expeditions, the HANSEATIC casually brings you to all places, where there is either something exciting, extraordinary or rare to be seen.

Welcome onboard the HANSEATIC!
