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.

Cruising College Fjord

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 icebergs into the sea.

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