Glacier Cruise Overview
Sail calm, protected waters from Whittier on the 26 Glacier Cruise into Prince William Sound’s fjords and ice-filled bays. High-speed catamarans reach Blackstone Bay, Harriman Fjord or College Fjord, where hanging, valley and tidewater glaciers spill from the Chugach Icefield. Watch for sea otters, harbor seals on the ice, bald eagles and seabirds; Dall’s porpoises often surf the bow. Captains pause at active faces for safe, close views. Heated cabins, big windows and open decks make photography easy. Add this day trip via the Glacier Discovery Train from Anchorage before or after your Alaska Rail Vacations itinerary. Season May–September: early summer = waterfalls and long light; late summer = thicker ice and busy wildlife.
