This six-hour journey through Prince William Sound features a visit to the magnificent, mighty Columbia Glacier area.
You have a chance today to view history in the making as Columbia Glacier retreats back into the Chugach Mountains. In addition to the brilliant, colorful ice in Columbia Bay, you will see wildlife along the way. Bald eagles, nesting birds, resident harbor seals, sea lions, sea otters, pink, chum and silver salmon, puffins, kittiwakes, whales and many other species call Prince William Sound home. You'll also learn about the area's mining, oil shipping, earthquake and fishing history.
A light meal is served on board.
Notes:
Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Access to the face of the glacier depends on ice conditions; visibility may vary. Cruise duration is 6 hours.
