Come face to face with several types of glaciers, including the alpine (hanging), piedmont and tidewater.

To witness this massive movement of ice and hear its thunderous roar is truly an unforgettable experience.

And the wildlife is equally astounding. Enjoy sightings of sea otters, seals, porpoises, sea lions and bald eagles during the cruise. You may also spot bears, mountain goats and whales - both humpback and orca.
