Our ship took us this far into glacier bay where Marjorie Glacier which is blue white meets the Grand Pacific Glacier which is black. This preservation area is truly serene, dynamic, remote yet intact. We saw some of the glacier fall into the sea and what a noise it makes, it's like a sharp crack of lightning followed by rolling...

Glacier Bay Alaska is a must see and such a spectacular part of our planet and Alaska.
We were on cruise ship Statendam which has best itinerary for this area, but crummy activities for anyone under age 70 onboard. We got close to shore and were through the area for 5 hours with sun shining.
Worth listening to Fly Me...

It's worth taking the cruise just to see these glaciers, definitely the highlight of the 7 day cruise. Freezing cold of course. Wear thermals, head scarf or beanie, gloves and warm jacket.

We did a round-trip cruise on Holland America Lines M. S. Oosterdam from Seattle to Glacier Bay. My wife, special needs daughter and I were entranced by the sights of Glacier Bay. The Glaciers were fantastic and almost too many to mention. The highlight of the trip was at the head of the bay, at the foot of Grand Pacific...

Okay, our family went to Glacier Bay National Park back in 2008. It was a part of our Alaska/Yukon trip. But it still remains our family's favorite trip. Plus, Glacier Bay is probably the most beautiful place that I have ever been to. And I'm saying that after having seen castles in Germany and England, and the Parthenon in Greece,...

August 2012 took Princess CruiseTour to Alaska. Did Land for 5 days, then boarded Island Princess in Whittier for cruise on the inside passage to Vancouver. Glacier Bay National Park allows only 2 cruise ships a day into the park. You spend the whole day in the park with several national park rangers on board doing talks, interpretation, etc. Wow,...

If you are heading to Gustavus you already know the Glacier Bay Tour by boat is the thing to do. Just hope for the best weather possible...go in July.
