26 Glacier Cruise in One Day
Cruise
the calm protected waters of
Prince William Sound and come
face to face with tidewater
glaciers plus an amazing array
of wildlife on the 26 Glacier
Cruise. Our vessel is the
fastest and most luxurious
high-speed catamaran in Alaska.
The 26 Glacier Cruise travels
over 135 miles into Prince
William Sound where you will see
26 “named” glaciers and many
more unnamed. We get within 2
tenths of a mile from the face
of these towering masses of ice
so you can “hear” the glaciers
move as well as see the
brilliant blues in the ice.
Glacier calvings are normally
seen on each cruise. The types
of glaciers you will view are
Alpine (hanging), Piedmont and
Tidewater Glaciers.
You may view sea otters, seals,
porpoises, sea lions and whales
during the cruise. The most
common whales in Prince William
Sound are Humpback and the Orca
or Killer Whale. Passengers may
also spot wild life such as bear
and mountain goats. Of the 200
species of bird inhabiting this
area, Bald Eagles are very
prominent. At the start of the
trip we stop at a bird rookery
which is home to thousands of
Kittiwakes.
What To Wear
Due to unpredictable Alaskan
weather, we advise dressing in
layers, which will allow you to
stay warm and dry as the outdoor
environment changes. Even on
warm summer days, temperatures
can be cool on the boat when it
is underway or stopped at a
glacier. For this event, please
also bring comfortable walking
shoes and a jacket or rain gear
that can shield you from light
wind or rain.
