Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve
A UNESCO World Heritage site of tidewater glaciers, humpback whales, and mountain wilderness - Glacier Bay isn't a town you dock in, it's a full day of scenery your ship sails through.
What You'll See
There's no port to walk off the ship here - Glacier Bay is experienced entirely from the water, with National Park Service rangers narrating from onboard.
Get in TouchMargerie Glacier
An actively advancing tidewater glacier about a mile wide, with an ice face roughly 250 feet high where it meets the sea - one of the most reliable calving glaciers in the park.
Johns Hopkins Glacier
Deeper into the bay, about 63 nautical miles from Bartlett Cove - often closed to vessels in early summer to protect harbor seal pupping, so timing varies by sailing.
Bartlett Cove & the Huna Tribal House
The park's only developed area, home to a hand-carved cedar clan house dedicated in 2016 by the Huna Tlingit and the National Park Service - the first permanent Tlingit structure built in the bay in over 250 years.
Wildlife Along the Way
Humpback whales, sea otters, and mountain goats are common sights during the glacier-viewing day, alongside the park ranger narration most ships carry aboard.
