26 Glacier Cruise and Coach from Anchorage

Overview

We make it easy to see it all in one day! Relax on the coach as the driver guide narrates while you enjoy the beauty of Turnagain Arm. On the cruise get ready to view one of the largest concentration of glaciers in Alaska. Weather, ice conditions and wildlife activity changes daily and our captains may adjust the route to provide the best cruise experience while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority.

While it was incredible to see glaciers up close, the “ packed like sardines” experience definitely impacted the quality of this expensive trip. The seat I was assigned was blocked on one side by a tall water dispensor, and blocked on another side by the crew storing a stroller. Did I mention that my back was facing the closest view I had. Getting in and out of this seat was further hampered by placement of a fire extinguisher. I literally kept hitting my thigh on the extinguisher anytime I left the seat. Pay close attention to seat assignment or pick another trip. In an effort to pack as many travelers in, seats were given that should never have been seats… safety and quality of experience were jeopardized. It’s too bad because the narration of the journey and the captain taking time to point out views was great.

Nice experience, all stuff is nice and do the best for you to have a good time. You can see many things from the boat and they tell a lot of information.
