Frequently Asked Questions
No. Glacier Bay is a full day of scenic cruising inside a national park: the ship sails up the bay and back down without ever docking. There is no pier, no shore excursion and no village to visit.
Because navigation inside the park is regulated. Off Bartlett Cove, a launch comes alongside and rangers board for the day: they narrate the landscape, give presentations and leave again in the evening.
Margerie Glacier, at the head of Tarr Inlet. Its face, roughly seventy metres high, stands directly before the ship, and this is where the vessel holds position longest to listen to the ice work.
A full day, generally eight to ten hours. The ship covers about a hundred kilometres to the head of the bay, holds position before the glaciers, then returns toward Icy Strait.
Humpback whales in the shallows, sea otters, seals hauled out on floating ice, puffins and bald eagles. With luck, brown bears and mountain goats on the slopes.
Because 250 years ago everything the ship crosses today lay beneath a single glacier. The ice retreated within a few generations: the forest you see is rebuilding itself before your eyes.
The people whose ancestral land this is: the Huna Tlingit lived in the bay before the advancing ice drove them out. Their presence and their account are now part of the park's interpretation.
In layers, with a waterproof windbreaker. It is markedly colder on deck than alongside a pier in Alaska: glacier wind pours down the bay and the day is spent outdoors.
May to September, the Alaska cruise season. June and July give the longest days; August and September bring more rain but superb light.
Yes, provided everyone accepts a full day on deck. The ranger presentations are built for all ages, and a glacier calving is a memory that stays.
