BEST WAY TO SEE GLACIERS AND WILDLIFE!

Anchorage or Girdwood to Whittier, Alaska

One of the most popular ways to see glaciers and marine wildlife is on a cruise in Prince William Sound. Our day cruises connect easily to rail or coach service departing from Anchorage and Girdwood to make a full day of adventure easy to add to your itinerary. The coach and cruise one-day adventure or the rail and cruise package will be the highlight of your Alaska vacation!

GETTING TO WHITTIER

PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND

Whittier, Alaska

Known as the Gateway to Prince William Sound this small seaside town provides access to the calm waters and wild sights we see on our cruises. Glaciers are our specialty in Prince William Sound. We get up close to these massive rivers of ice and pause so you can listen for the snap, crackle, and splash that echo against the towering mountains of the Chugach National Forest.

Getting to Whittier is part of the fun! If you are driving to Whittier, travel south from Anchorage on the Seward Highway.
