We make it easy to see it all in one day! Relax on the coach as the driver guide narrates while you enjoy the beauty of Turnagain Arm. In Whittier, the Glacier Quest Cruise cruises from the quaint seaside town to glacier-filled Blackstone Bay, a dramatic deep-water fjord where two tidewater glaciers and several alpine glaciers await. Keep an eye out for sea otters, Steller sea lions, bears, mountain goats, whales, and more! You will see several glaciers, including Tebenkof Glacier, named for Mikhail Demitrievich Tebenkof, an outstanding surveyor whose maps were the first charts of Alaska’s waters published in 1852. Northland Glacier rests majestically, clinging to the edge of the towering mountain. Blackstone and Beloit are tidewater glaciers that have carved a steep pathway to reach Prince William Sound’s saltwater. Cruise up close to these massive glaciers to watch for telltale signs of movement signaled by the distinct “pop” of glacier ice calving. Return to Anchorage by coach.

Q&A

Q: Can you reschedule this Glacier Quest Cruise if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather turns bad. The company is pretty flexible with that! Just make sure to give them a call as soon as you know you need to change it. They’ll help you find another date that works for you.

Q: What should I wear for the Glacier Quest Cruise? Is it cold on the water?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It's cooler out on the water, so a light jacket or windbreaker is a good idea. Closed-toed shoes are also recommended because the deck can get slippery. It's also smart to bring sunglasses and sunscreen, even if it seems cloudy!

Q: Is this experience good for kids? Are there any age limits?

A: The Glacier Quest Cruise is great for kids! There aren’t any strict age limits, and they even offer a kids' meal on request. Just keep in mind that younger ones might need to be supervised carefully on deck. It’s a fantastic way to introduce them to the beauty of Alaska!

Thinking of gifting the Glacier Quest Cruise – anyone tried it?

I'm considering getting the Glacier Quest Cruise for my parents, but I wanna know if it’s really worth it. I heard it's all about seeing glaciers and wildlife, plus the smoked salmon chowder sounds awesome. They’re kind of picky eaters though, so I’m a bit worried. Anyone have advice on if the food is good and if it’s a fun experience? Planning to get this for their anniversary!

Just did the Glacier Quest Cruise and wow!

I just got back from the Glacier Quest Cruise, and it was absolutely breathtaking! The ride through Turnagain Arm was super smooth, and we saw a bunch of sea lions! The glaciers are massive and just stunning. Pro tip: get your camera ready for the calving. It’s a huge wow moment! Oh, and don’t skip the smoked salmon chowder; it’s a real treat. Highly recommend it!
