We get within 2 tenths of a mile from the face of these towering masses of ice so you can “hear” the glaciers move as well as see the brilliant blues in the ice. Glacier calvings are normally seen on each cruise. The types of glaciers you will view are Alpine (hanging), Piedmont and Tidewater Glaciers. During your cruise, you may view sea otters, seals, porpoises, sea lions and whales during the cruise. The most common whales in Prince William Sound are Humpback and the Orca or Killer Whale. Passengers may also spot wild life such as bear and mountain goats. Of the 200 species of bird inhabiting this area, Bald Eagles are very prominent. At the start of the trip we stop at a bird rookery which is home to thousands of Kittiwakes. www.26glaciers.com/cruise.htm
