Join Jeff Corwin, Princess Cruises' Nature & Adventure Ambassador on an adventure celebrating the breathtaking natural beauty of Alaska by combining two of its premier attractions – glaciers and whales! Embark on an unforgettable wildlife cruise where a whale sighting is guaranteed. View the spectacular Mendenhall Glacier and explore the interactive displays at the visitor's center. Jeff will share stories and his knowledge and passion for wildlife during the trip. Drive to Auke Bay for an unforgettable award-winning wildlife cruise available rain or shine. Board an expedition vessel and relax in the main cabin, offering panoramic views. Jeff and an onboard naturalist will explain the habits and habitats of the wildlife you may encounter. No whale-watching tour would be complete without seeing the humpback and killer whales which are plentiful in the nutrient-rich waters during this time, and sightings are guaranteed! Then, view the Mendenhall Glacier, formed during the Little Ice Age, which began about 3,000 years ago. Sustained by the geography and unique climate of the area, the glacier has been able to survive much longer than others in North America. Explore the visitor's center and meet with U.S. Forest Service interpreters, available to answer your questions.
