The Glacier Bay cruise has a Park Service naturalist onboard who serves as narrator/interpreter. As you cruise into Glacier Bay observe the many different species of birds. You may be lucky enough to see seals, or whales. Look for bears, deer and mountain goats along the shoreline. Cruise up the west arm of Glacier Bay to the face of the Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers, two towering masses of ice and snow. Raising 250 feet above the waterline and stretching another 100 feet below the water, the ice calving from the Margerie Glacier is an average of 200 years old. The Margerie and Grand Pacific are two of 16 tidewater glaciers, 30 alpine glaciers and numerous unnamed glaciers that encompass Glacier Bay National Park. Bring your camera and lots of film. Dress warmly. Lunch is included. (L)
