Overview
For guests in Anchorage or Girdwood with their own transportation, this 5-hour cruise offers a smooth cruise to view dynamic glaciers and a variety of wildlife, surrounded by the pristine wilderness of Prince William Sound.
The cruise route covers 140 miles and features areas such as Port Wells, Esther Passage, College Fjord, Harriman fjord or Blackstone Bay. Due to weather, ice flows, and wildlife activity, our captains adapt to these changing conditions to provide the best cruise experience, while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority. Our friendly and attentive crew will strive to make this cruise a favorite highlight of your Alaska vacation.
Our industry-exclusive No Seasickness Guarantee assures every guest will cruise in comfort while enjoying our cruise. All cruises are operated on first-class high-speed catamarans that provide an extremely stable cruise and can smoothly navigate through the narrow fjords and ice flows to reach the face of massive glaciers.
Travel time from Anchorage to Whittier is 90 minutes. From Girdwood to Whittier, allow 45 minutes. Please plan your day with this travel time in mind. (The cruise portion is 5 hours.)
All cruises depart from Whittier, AK. Bring your photo I.D. and check in at least one hour before your cruise departs. Being late may cause the cancellation of reserved seats and/or an entire reservation.

This tunnel allows one-way traffic access to and from Whittier on a strict schedule. The tunnel opens going to Whittier thirty minutes past the hour (9:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM). We recommend the 10:30 AM tunnel opening for your cruise to allow time to park and check in. Transportation to Whittier, tunnel toll, and parking fee are not included. After your cruise, the tunnel will be open hourly, on the hour, until 11:00 PM.

The beauty of the glaciers was amazing! But to get up close and to see and hear the calving was phenomenal! The crew and our guide Zoe were delightful and informative. Wish I could do it again!
This whole trip fro beginning to end was just so wonderful

the captain did a great job getting us up close to the glaciers and the US forest rancher did a great job telling us the history of the park. I recommend this tour to anyone coming for an Alaska visit.

Getting up close to the Harvard glacier and the boat stopped to let us take pictures. Friendly staff that served a wonderful lunch and free cookies in the afternoon. Saw sea otters and a bear.
