Travel to College Fjord and Blackstone Bay to view dynamic tidewater glaciers, marine wildlife, and migratory birds in the pristine wilderness of Prince William Sound on this 26 Glacier Cruise.
EXPERIENCE:
The 26 Glacier Cruise departs from Whittier to explore the calm waters and wild sights of Alaskas Prince William Sound. Discover glacier-carved fjords and pristine wilderness around every turn. Watch for marine wildlife and migratory birds along the way. Travel in comfort aboard safe, modern high-speed catamarans.
Prince William Sound boasts one of the worlds largest concentrations of tidewater glaciers. College Fjord and Blackstone Bay provide impressive panoramic views of spectacular glaciers flowing down from the mountains to the saltwater. As the Captain navigates a path through the ice-filled waters, watch the dynamic tidewater glaciers closely as massive chunks of ice can calve (break off) at any moment and crash to the sea with a thunderous sound.
Marine wildlife and migratory birds easily outnumber people in Prince William Sound, so the odds are good that you will see a lot more than glaciers on our cruises! Sea otters are a common sight, along with harbor seals, Bald eagles, and kittiwakes. There are five species of wild Alaska salmon in the Sound. When the fish are in, the whales and bears will follow! It is not uncommon to see orca whales, humpback whales, sea lions, black bears, mountain goats, Dalls porpoise, and migratory birds on our 26 Glacier Cruise.
