Enjoy Prince William Sound's
breathtaking scenery with a 4 or 5
day cruise aboard the mv Spirit
of Columbia. The Sound is
an ideal location to hearing the
rumbling groans of calving glaciers
that tower straight up from the sea
to 9,000 feet! Highlights of this
cruise include College Fjord,
Blackstone Bay, Knight Island and
Chenega Glacier. The 4 night cruise
also includes the port of Cordova.
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.
 5
day / 4 night cruise itinerary
Day 1: Anchorage - Whittier and

Glacier in Blackstone Bay. D
Day 2:
Cruising College Fjord
and Esther Passage
Awake this morning to find yourself
near the face of a glacier in
College Fjord. The ship will ease
close to the active faces of the
numerous glaciers that calve

narrow Esther Passage, a waterway
only small ships can navigate.
Playful sea otters live here and
your Captain knows where they will
be found. BLD

While you sleep, the ship
crosses Prince William Sound to the
