Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Hop aboard a catamaran and travel 120 miles into the pristine wilderness of Prince William Sound to view massive glaciers and get an up-close look at curious wildlife.
Stretch your legs on a short walk from the cruise ship terminal to your sightseeing vessel. From your catamaran, you'll come face to face with towering masses of ice so close that you can hear the glaciers move. Gaze at their brilliant blue hues while you encounter several types of glaciers, including the alpine (hanging), piedmont and tidewater. It's not uncommon to see glaciers calve (when pieces of ice break off into the water) during the cruise. To witness this massive movement of ice and hear its thunderous roar is truly an unforgettable experience.
Yet, with the bounty of glacial wonders, it's not just about the ice. The wildlife is equally astounding. Enjoy sightings of sea otters, seals, porpoises, sea lions and bald eagles during the cruise. You may also spot bears, mountain goats and whales - both humpback and orca. At the end of the trip, we'll stop at a bird rookery that is home to thousands of kittiwakes.
Narration by your experienced Captain and crew makes your trip is educational as well as scenic. Reserved seating, heated cabins, large panoramic windows offering excellent views from every seat, and a hot meal is served with tea, coffee, and ice water are all included. A snack bar, gift shop and restrooms are a few of the available amenities.
