Cruise Glacier Bay, one of the most
rare and beautiful places on earth,
onboard the
Spirit of Glacier Bay. The
rapidly retreating glacier ice
reveals a spectacular network of
islands and fjords. Enjoy acres of
pristine wilderness, hear the call
of sea birds as they cluster on the
tiny islands, and feel the chill of
a glacier as you travel through this
spectacular place.
Highlights of this cruise include
Glacier Bay, Icy Strait, and Juneau.
The 5 day cruise also includes
Skagway, Haines.
Cruise West's vessels are smaller
than most of the cruise ships plying
Alaska's waters. This allows for
cruising through passages which are
inaccessible to larger ships,
resulting in a sense of truly being
part of the great coastal vista.
With the friendly and personal
atmosphere on board, dramatic
scenery, glaciers, and wildlife,
this is a cruise you will long
remember.
Whales guaranteed! If you do not
see whales on your cruise, you will
receive $250 back per person.
5
day / 4 night cruise itinerary
Transfer from the Juneau airport to
downtown
Juneau. Later today, board your ship
to begin your cruise down the
Gastineau Channel. D
Nestled at the base of
the rugged Chilkat mountains, the
picturesque town of Haines is a
pleasant contract to the bustle of
the big cruise ship ports. This
truly Alaskan town, known for its
scenery, military history, numerous
artisans, galleries, and off the
beaten path attitude, will allow you
to breathe in a taste of life in the
"real" Alaska that few have the
privilege to enjoy. Take plenty of
time to explore on your own or
indulge in a wide variety of
optional activities, including an
optional excursion to Skagway (not
included), that will allow you to
take home more than photographs! BLD
