    Day 5  Full Day cruise of Glacier Bay and fly to Anchorage

    Experience Glacier Bay aboard an intimate dayboat, a major advantage over large cruise ships. This smaller vessel allows guests to get much closer to the glaciers, wildlife, and shoreline—offering unmatched views and photo opportunities.

    A Park Service naturalist is onboard to narrate and interpret the sights throughout your journey. As you cruise into Glacier Bay, watch for a wide variety of bird species, and keep an eye out for seals, whales, bears, deer, and mountain goats along the rugged coastline.

    Your voyage continues up the west arm of Glacier Bay to the towering Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers. Rising 250 feet above the waterline—and extending another 100 feet below—these massive walls of ice are unforgettable. The calving ice of the Margerie Glacier averages 200 years old, and together the Margerie and Grand Pacific are part of a system that includes 16 tidewater glaciers, 30 alpine glaciers, and numerous unnamed glaciers within Glacier Bay National Park. (Lunch Included)

    After your cruise you are transferred to airport for your flight to Anchorage.  Upon arrival, please collect your luggage and call the hotel for a courtesy transfer.
