Missing 411 Alaska Cruise
The inaugural Missing 411: Alaska Cruise is a 7-night expedition sailing September 11–18, 2026, aboard Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas, departing round-trip from Seattle, Washington. The itinerary includes scenic stops in three Alaska ports along with a visit to Victoria, British Columbia, regions long associated with reports of UFO sightings, mysterious disappearances, and other unexplained phenomena.
Hosted by David Paulides alongside a carefully selected group of paranormal and investigative researchers, the cruise will explore topics such as UFO encounters, interdimensional portals, and related anomalies tied to wilderness and coastal regions. Onboard programming will consist of three morning lecture sessions that conclude early in the day, allowing guests plenty of time to relax, connect with fellow attendees, and enjoy the ship’s dining, entertainment, and amenities.
While in port, guests may participate in exclusive, speaker-led excursions available for an additional fee, offering deeper discussion and unique experiences tied to the themes of the cruise. Organizers are also exploring the possibility of hosting a special UFO and Portal Town Hall event, which, if confirmed, would be included in the cruise fare.

CanAm Missing Project
The CanAm Missing Project is a dedicated group of retired police officers, search and rescue (SAR) experts, and other professionals committed to researching, investigating, and understanding the complexities surrounding disappearances in the wilds of North America. Traditionally, SAR teams work intensely on these cases for the first 7-14 days after someone is reported missing. However, once initial efforts end, many of these cases are filed away, often without resolution. After reviewing thousands of SAR reports and speaking with countless victims’ families, we believe this approach needs a fundamental shift.
What began as a conversation with park rangers has evolved into a comprehensive study of missing persons in wilderness areas, often under highly unusual circumstances. In numerous cases we’ve researched, families believe abduction or kidnapping may be involved, though law enforcement and media rarely focus on this aspect when a case can be explained by more conventional means. However, the sheer volume of these cases and the patterns we’ve uncovered are too significant to ignore. Federal agencies hold critical data on these disappearances that needs closer scrutiny, and much of what we’ve learned has been documented in the “Missing 411” series. We encourage every SAR coordinator and manager to consider these findings for future search efforts.
