Take a half-day cruise and travel 55 miles to explore the world of wildlife contained in Resurrection Bay. To enhance your wildlife viewing, we pull in close to massive bird rookeries and sea lion colonies and even stop along the route when we encounter whales or sea otters. During the cruise you'll also see towering alpine glaciers and pass by massive Bear Glacier. The photo opportunities from the many outside viewing decks are truly spectacular.The cruise is fully narrated, giving you inside information on the wildlife, glaciers, and colorful history of the Seward, including the devastating 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake. The memorable half-day cruises are ideal for active travelers who want to witness Alaska's magnificent wildlife, glaciers, and wilderness. A 100-mile full-day cruise takes you into the Kenai Fjords National Park and to the Chiswell Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Your host for this cruise will be a uniformed Kenai Fjords National Park Ranger who will narrate the trip, point out wildlife and glaciers, and answer your questions. On this cruise, you'll visit spectacular Holgate Glacier and pull up close as it sheds giant blocks and slabs of ancient ice. This process, called calving, is awe-inspiring and makes for excellent photo opportunities. Up-close wildlife and glacier viewing will make your day in the National Park truly unforgettable. |
