Wildlife & Glacier Calving Highlights
Depart Seward to explore Kenai Fjords National Park, where glaciers from the Harding Icefield meet a rugged, sea-stacked coast. Routes typically enter Aialik Bay or Northwestern Fjord, stopping at Aialik, Holgate or Northwestern Glacier to watch for calving. Scan Resurrection Bay and the Chiswell Islands (Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge) for humpback and orca whales, Steller sea lions, porpoises and puffins. Heated cabins, open decks and naturalist narration keep you comfortable and informed. Seamless with the Coastal Classic train and easy to add to your Alaska Rail Vacations itinerary. Best May–September: spring = crisp visibility and nesting seabirds; midsummer = peak wildlife; late summer often aligns with glacier activity and whales.
