Cruise along the scenic Seward Highway, designated a National Scenic Byway by the U.S. Forest Service, for your journey to Whittier to join the cruise. The Seward Highway has towering mountains on one side and the spectacular Turnagain Arm, providing dramatic panoramic views on the opposite side of the road. Your driver will point out the sights and make a photo stop as time allows.
From Whittier, Alaska, explore the calm waters and wild sights of Prince William Sound. Discover glacier-carved fjords and pristine wilderness around every turn, and watch for marine wildlife and migratory birds along the way.
Prince William Sound boasts one of the world’s 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, Dall’s porpoise, and migratory birds during the Cruise.
