Chichagof Dream

The awesome forces of nature are on full display in Alaska—mountains eroded by massive glaciers, icebergs crowding aquamarine seas, and the cycles of plants and animals compressed into the scant weeks of an exuberant arctic summer. Spend eight days navigating the waterways of the Inside Passage aboard the 66-passenger Chichagof Dream and witness wildlife up close from its kayaks and skiffs. Learn about Alaska’s culture at a traditional Tlingit dance performance, current ice field research at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, and industry with a visit to a salmon hatchery. With skilled expedition leaders by your side, encounter its abundant wildlife, magnificent peaks and fjords, and ice-blue glaciers of unfathomable proportions—while learning about the traditions of Alaska’s ancient cultures.

Check out this short video from a past Southeast Alaska trip, and see for yourself why this destination is truly a once-in-a-lifetime tour.

UCLA Faculty on Tour

Professor Paul Barber

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Paul Barber is a professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. He studied Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Music at his home town University of Arizona, and then earned his PhD from UC Berkeley in 1998. Paul spent 3 years at Harvard as an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Fellow before joining the faculty at Boston University in 2002 and then UCLA in 2008. Paul’s research program integrates genetics, genomics, ecology, and oceanography to understand the evolution of marine biodiversity, and uses this information to promote marine conservation. The majority of this research is done in the context of education programs like The Diversity Project, a program focused on increasing participation of underrepresented minorities in marine science. Paul’s integration of research and education and passion for mentoring diversity in science has been recognized by numerous awards, including the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering, the UCLA Distinguished Teaching award, the UCLA Diversity Equity and Inclusion Award, UCLA Gold Shield Prize, and the SACNAS Distinguished Student Mentor Award. In 2017 he was named an HHMI Professor.
