Prince William Sound Glacier Cruises
Climb aboard the Emerald Sea for an unforgettable cruise to the most spectacular glaciers in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Look forward to breathtaking scenery, towering waterfalls, massive glaciers and wildlife such as: eagles, harbor seals, otters and bird rookeries. Feel free to take pictures from the viewing decks as glaciers calve or relax in the comfort of the heated cabin in our 100-ft Coast Guard-certified ship. Additionally, you can enjoy an authentic Alaska tradition with our delicious salmon and prime rib meal, which is available for just $15.
Our Alaska glacier cruises depart daily from Whittier Alaska and venture into the calm, protected waters of Prince William Sound. As the ship enters Blackstone Bay, you'll see the massive Blackstone and Beloit Glaciers looming in the distance. As we move in closer, the glaciers grow larger, towering 1,700 feet over our 100-foot vessel. Rather than sailing from glacier to glacier, we stop at each one, floating among the icebergs, giving you plenty of time to take in Mother Nature's glorious ice sculptures. Listen to the glaciers as they groan and crack, an indication that enormous sections of ice are about to calve off and splash into the bay.
Major Marine Tours also offers half-day Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruises and full-day Kenai Fjords National Park Cruises departing from Seward Alaska. Qualify for discount fares when you book more than one cruise with Major Marine Tours.
