Have you ever wanted to go on a glacier cruise in Alaska? Well, you should! It is about the most fun you can have. Gliding through the frozen waters, the blue icebergs bobbing around you, and the wonderfully different Alaskan wildlife playing all around you. It's incredible! Here is a hint of what you can find when taking a cruise ship to Alaska. Enjoy the trip report:

The National Park Tour is the most popular Alaska glacier cruise in the Kenai Fjords National Park. This fully narrated cruise features tidewater glaciers and abundant wildlife. Orcas and other whale sightings are not unusual! It is incredible to see such a variety of wildlife in just six hours. It’s not just about the ice – it's very common to see sea otters, seals, porpoises, sea lions and whales – humpback and orca – during the cruise. You may also spot bear, mountain goats and bald eagles. At the end of the trip we stop at a bird rookery which is home to thousands of Kittiwakes.

The Klondike Express is the largest, fastest and most luxurious catamaran in all of Alaska. This 137-foot, high-speed catamaran holds 342 passengers on three decks, two of which are enclosed and heated. The Klondike Express is a non-smoking vessel.

Kenai Fjords National Park and the mountains around Prince William Sound contain some of the best viewing areas for glaciers in all of Alaska. These glaciers and ice fields can be very large. For example, the Harding Ice Field, located in the Kenai Fjords National Park, covers more than 700 square miles and is the source of over 35 named glaciers.

Yep, a cruise to Alaska to see the amazing glaciers is well worth it. We highly recommend that you check it out for your next vacation!
